A Modest Proposal for Exotic Abilities

I know you guys at Bungie get these all the time, but I have to try anyway. You know how it is. Press Spoiler for long version. Skip to bottom to get straight to the point. Or both. Your choice. [spoiler]One of my favorite things about being a Bladedancer is the invisibility. Since Hunters have lower health and recovery than Titans and Warlocks, it's got me out of numerous sticky situations in PvE (although it's useless in PvP because everyone has trained themselves to spot an invisible Bladedancer as an easy target and not some weird glitch). I've found it most useful in reviving other players in strikes and raids. So as soon as I saw the Hunter gauntlets Don't Touch Me, my first thought was naturally: "More invisibility? I just found my favorite Exotic!" After the initial feeling of awesome wore off, my next thought was: "What if they made more stuff with invisibility abilities? That would be even more awesome!" So here are my two ideas for new invisibility abilities that could be used on some upcoming exotic Hunter armor (Warlocks and Titans don't deserve to be invisible). Because you can never have too much invisibility. Especially when you're playing below your level. First idea: invisibility that activates when you're reloading. Like the effect applied by Don't Touch Me, it would have a cool down of a few seconds so people couldn't spam the reload all the time. This could be an upgrade on a specific weapon, or it could be a blanket effect applied by an Exotic armor piece (if you wanted to make it less OP it could be for only one type of weapon, like only Primary weapons, for example). Conversation between me and a Cabal while this ability is active: Me: *Blam Blam Blam Blam* *Click* Cabal: "Groaaahhhh" Translation: "Quick, shoot him! He's reloa- wait where did he go?" Me: *evil laugh* If for some unknown reason you don't like that idea, here is another: an exotic armor item that allows any invisibility effect to not be canceled by punching, jumping, shooting, or taking an action that might cancel invisibility (duh). Now I can practically hear you thinking (no seriously, stop thinking so loudly, I can't concentrate): "That's way too OP. One could exploit that ability by using their favorite method of obtaining invisibility and then spam the crap out of their sniper on a certain, easily cheesable boss." But you haven't heard the whole story yet, so stop making snap judgments. I know that you're busy and you're probably rushing through this, but seriously). To make it less OP, but equally useful, each punch, shot, jump, etc. would decrease the time left in the invisibility effect. So if you sniped a Knight or two, your invisibility would last much less time than if you ran over and revived that nooby teammate of yours (Wow, they're so lame. But that level 32 guy, he has no life). So, Bungie , even though you have a reputation for leeching the fun out of the endless search for a higher level, stuff like this is how you can gain back the respect of your players. Listen to us. Give us more new stuff. Focus less on making the game more 'fair' and more on making the game more fun to play. I, for one, appreciate your efforts. But I know I'm one of the few.[/spoiler] Don't forget to bump if you agree. Sorry it was so long.
