Bungie, please do not ever sunset exotics.
When in a Twab it was said that there were no plans currently in place to sunset exotics, I think a lot of us breathed a sigh of relief, but I have always had that in the back of my mind, thinking about the word "currently."
I think that most people agree that while some exotics are pretty good, most of them aren't breaking the sandbox. Anything that is usually just needs a bit of a tuning.
Besides, while exotics are just as much a part of the sandbox as legendaries are, they've always kind of operated differently. While there are plenty of good legendaries, there are only a few really exotics that match up at any given time. Considering that, it should be far easier to balance out the exotics in the sandbox than the legendaries.
All this to say, most of us don't think there's very much reason to sunset exotics, and most of us would like to see them stay uncapped, especially when so many of them have never had their chance to shine.
Edit: I probably should have guessed that my first post to make it to the top of trending would be one about sunsetting.
Honestly I'm just glad that this is getting some visibility. As much as I think bungie isn't going to make that mistake, I'd rather give them the feedback now and leave it up to chance as little as possible.
So thanks for putting me here.

Edited by Kouz_MC: 10/26/2020 7:33:51 AMBungie’s vision of Destiny is largely centered around recycling over and over, with cyclical meta rotations, covered up in design upgrades, so if exotics are sunset. They will eventually come back. Look at Beyond light, it’s shadowkeep 2.0, double the price justified by a couple tweaks: - introducing a destination that was designed at the times of TTK - recycling the will of Crota - introducing one new strike - reskin of current abilities into frozen versions (ok that’s new, but still far from TTK abilities revolution) - sunshot recycled meta - recycling cosmodrome - recycling VoG. Vex Mytho is going to be meta for a few weeks, then big nerf, just like in D1. - that’s not to mention the recycling, nerfing and the like to the old whisper/blackhammer/black spindle which has now, just like in D1, become useless except for 1 or 2 encounters in the game. - same for sleeper - same for so many other weapons, abilities, and exotics. The most recent statement I heard from bungie is: “we want destiny to feel like D1” Yeah right. We got that...! I remember a statement: “bungie’s consistent inability to deliver content in quality and time.” Meanwhile ATVI is now double the value they were with bungie weighing on expectations and costs. I really love this game, but its history, vision and management are very disappointing. Hopefully it will become something more complete, eventually an expanding universe (as opposed to DCV), in 10y.
