Yeah I feel like overtime the exotic train fell off the rails. An exotic should achieve its rarity by having a powerful, interesting, unique perk. These day we have exotics that have lame perks, repeat perks, and just simply a burn (Adepts). I hope exotics are redefined and unique in D2.

If exotics are being dispensed like candy (3ofC), then they cease being as valuable. Y1 worker really hard to earn all the exotics (didn't buy them). This year, all a 3ofC has become after no longer being the road to 400, is a waste of 17 seconds (3 to use, rest to postmaster/decrypt/convert to shard).

Yeah.. I feel you. I remember hearing them say they were going to nerf the first Exotic and there was an uproar then about nerfing any Exotics because they were just that: Exotic, powerful, and commanded respect. Just like their stories say. Now, I'm pretty sure Banshee made knock-offs, because these aren't the weapons I remember. Thorn, Hawkmoon, and The Last Word should not lost to Palindrome. Invective, Universal Remote, or Lord of Wolves should not lose to Matador 64. It's just.. sad. Seeing what these once great weapons look like now.
