I'm okay with the upgrading exotics through RNG/Xur a week and the glimmer cost, but making us re-level the whole damn weapon/armor? Maybe I might be getting my panties in knots over nothing but seems kind of counter productive.
I know, I know it doesn't take that long to level a piece of gear up, but couldn't they just add more nodes to the tree?
Yes, I will shut up now, and still play the hell out of this game regardless. - Meg
EDIT: Seems people are thinking I am advocating a free ride to the new version exotics, I am not. I want some kind of work involved in that respect. I would like to seem some compensation for the time/materials/work invested into the old version exotics, for instance more upgrade nodes.

Apparently, once you've traded in your old exotic for the new and improved version with better stats it will level up much faster then the original. Until we play the expansion though it will be hard to tell whether this upgrade time will be noticeably shorter or just marginally shorter.
