While I agree that limiting exotics to one weapon and one armor in a step in the right direction I am just worried about methods of obtaining them.
We saw that Archon Slayer from the Demo was a low level boss, yet the reward for beating him was an exotic weapon. It is possible that it was for stage purposes but the fact remains that I hope that Bungie can find a way to limit the spread of exotics. I want an exotic weapon to be something earned, not a petty prize that everyone has.
Though I have a feeling Bungie is going to cater to the "everyone wins" appeal.

They've said in interviews that actual weapon drops are much rarer than in most of these sorts of RPG shooters, making Exotics even more rare as they'll only happen in a small percentage of those. It's absolutely possible that they make them too frequent, but it's something they'll be able to easily fine-tune to a level that feels appropriate, especially using data from things like the Beta. As AwokenStrings mentioned, you still need to upgrade exotic weapons once you find them to unlock their unique abillities, so depending on how much time and resources that takes, it might discourage many people from investing in any but the most perfect exotic for their character. Imagine, you find a really cool Exotic Pistol, then you realize that you're going to have to ditch your Exotic Pulse Rifle for a couple of weeks to train this comparatively underpowered pistol up to the point where it can actually compete on the same level that the Pulse Rifle did. Some people might just not want to put in the effort.

yes but you still need to upgrade the exotic weapons and make them good so its still fair

You can also do that with every gun in the game. All Im hoping for is exotic weapons/armor that will be earned.

Bungie stated that they were playing on 'Deathless' difficulty. Which then raises questions about difficulty and how it will work. I suspect it would have been harder to kill Rixis if the difficulty had been higher.

I don't see why the enemies around him would be so low level then. Maybe it implies enemies scale with you. Even so, if that we're the case then fighting rixis would not be so far fetched for a lower level player.
