Bungie, please do not ever sunset exotics.

When in a Twab it was said that there were no plans currently in place to sunset exotics, I think a lot of us breathed a sigh of relief, but I have always had that in the back of my mind, thinking about the word "currently." I think that most people agree that while some exotics are pretty good, most of them aren't breaking the sandbox. Anything that is usually just needs a bit of a tuning. Besides, while exotics are just as much a part of the sandbox as legendaries are, they've always kind of operated differently. While there are plenty of good legendaries, there are only a few really exotics that match up at any given time. Considering that, it should be far easier to balance out the exotics in the sandbox than the legendaries. All this to say, most of us don't think there's very much reason to sunset exotics, and most of us would like to see them stay uncapped, especially when so many of them have never had their chance to shine. Edit: I probably should have guessed that my first post to make it to the top of trending would be one about sunsetting. Honestly I'm just glad that this is getting some visibility. As much as I think bungie isn't going to make that mistake, I'd rather give them the feedback now and leave it up to chance as little as possible. So thanks for putting me here.

    I know I'm going to get downvoted for this, but oh well, it's what happens when someone points out the truth that others don't like. This is something this entire community needs to always keep in mind [b](license agreement, subject to change)[/b] IMO this company has abused this, especially with this game contently changing their mind about whatever to fit their needs, not really considering what the players would like... It's one of the things I have a hard time with when it comes to trusting this companies word. An example, They said Factions were coming back in season 7 and anyone can look that up, but we all know that never happened. So, the community asked about them for a good couple of years and not one time was there an official word about them until the directors cut. It was mainly "they have no plans at this moment" but later they added some of the loot in the game to drop from factions. I've lost count of how many times in the last 6 years this company said something and done the complete opposite. The problem with this is, the (unsuspecting players) get their hopes up and easily get disappointed when what they think will happen never happens. This is a really bad thing knowing this company constantly changes things. Yes, plans change, things change but to constantly keep changing everything is not a plan, that is what you call winging things, and winging things doesn't work for a game like this. Edit: https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/3hyy1t/quote_by_deej_regarding_exotics_becoming_obsolete/ Bungie Weekly Update 12/04/2014: [quote]"In the months to come, your quest to become more powerful will have more avenues that lead to satisfaction. The last thing we wanted was for you to look at your favorite gun or helmet and decide that it had become obsolete. Since the reveal, we’ve read a lot of ideas for how this could have been done better. Your feedback is clear: The time you have invested in your stuff should be respected."[/quote] This may have applied to the game back then, but it has never since the day D2 released applied to this game. Don't ever get attached to anything in a game, or any game for that matter. Nothing is untouchable in Destiny when it comes to this company knowing how often they change their mind.
