In addition to lots of sentiments widely expressed by the community, I wanted to share my thoughts on exotics in light of the impending changes to Destiny and based on my general experience with the game so far. Of course, I am loving Destiny, (Level 30 Hunter, 29 Titan, 22 Warlock) I've played a lot, though not as much as others, but I feel reasonably competent and accomplished. I also have enjoyed many moments in the game despite some confusing, off-putting, and disappointing experiences. Prior to the launch of Destiny, I believed so much in this game that I bought two Destiny PS4s for my two best friends so that we could fight the Darkness together (we live scattered across the country and games are one of the few ways we still manage to keep in touch). We had a great time going through the story even if the ending confused and disappointed us. I've personally had a great time in Crucible (mixed opinions by others). But at the end of the day, the current situation leaves me feeling disenchanted. I know the game could be so much more. Yes, I love Destiny, and I've wanted to help it improve so badly that I've applied to work for Bungie (no reply even though the position is still listed as open). I threw this graphic together purely based on my experience and rather hastily. Other folks have done brilliant analysis of the game, but fundamentally, games should be fun and I feel that something related to these ideas could be adjusted to improve fun, therefore retention, and sales of Destiny. Please share your thoughts and feedback. I hope this is helpful for other Guardians and Bungie.
