First you got to be lucky certain red lined weapons drop. Then you need 5 of them for some. Then you need enough materials to be able to create these weapons. You do this by finishing the progress on more red lined weapons. Then you can create a weapon but then you have to upgrade these to level 16 to get all the perks unlocked. And then you have to do this another 30+ more times to get all these weapons completed. It is way too much of a grind! Glaives level quick but weapons like snipers? Takes way too long. The whole system should be way less of a grind. Also the rng drop rate of the other 2 exotic glaive patterns seem to be ridiculously low. By forcing players into a certain activity that they have to do over and over again because of the rng system is not helping the game. It would be better to take away rng on certain weapons and add a quest to it.
