Edit: Thanks for the comments. Lots of very good responses from nostalgia to new gamers to the destiny franchise. I'm certainly not saying it is a bad move for some exotics to make a return but I will say I am not fond of hyping paid releases using existing exotics, granted they have been tweaked somewhat. I also guarantee I'm not the only one exhausted by all these hand cannons.
If I had a hand in developing D2, I'd have made a point of bringing D1 exotics forward with a more believable story like.. Ikora found a way to sift through the ashes of the tower and find our exotic kiosk blueprints.. she's working hard with the vanguard and the gunsmith to piece them together.

I don't get it, why are people getting excited for returning weapons from another game?
I agree they were great weapons, but we've been there and done that. Why not make new and better weapons instead?
28% of D2 exotic weapons are from D1(14 of the current 50) and now we learn of Hawkmoon and Darkdrinker as well?
