Now I'm fully aware this will result in immediate backslash from some in the community, but let's be real for a moment. When it comes to a stand Crucible match, those rocking weapons like Bad Juju/Thorn/Red Death so forth tend to always be topping the leaderboard every match.
Am I not right? Unless you happen to be the player who uses nothing but Legendary in a match, hey props to you.
Yes, Exotics are wonderful to have, great to show off. Hell, I have a few myself, Invectis being one. Anyone whose been on the receiving end of one of those knows the feeling. As far as I'm concerned, the removal of Exotic weapons will create a natural balance in a standard Crucible match. Purely Legendary weaponry across all player platforms.
Among the "Do Everything" group I tend to run with, we all agree it's the Exotic weaponry that create this off balance. Whether or not others are unaware of there Legendary counterparts. Red Death for example, I find Oversoul Edict fully capable of matching it and in most cases out classing Red Death. Granted you sacrificing the healing perk, but really any competitive veteran knows when they need to eighty-six from a losing fight.
But, that's my suggestion on the balancing issue.
P.S. Just for the record, I did not saying anything about removing Exotic Gear. I feel like I have to make that clear.

If they make it a separate gamemode where there are no exotics I would be sold for it. However, some people actually enjoy having RPG and gear aspects in PvP and would like to keep them.
