Exotic Farming Just Sucks

I can appreciate some level of a grind to earn an exotic but honestly it’s so much of a hassle to farm for the roll you want on any given exotic that doing it passively is almost better than trying to dedicate time farm it at all. That’s just hella weird for a looter shooter. If you happen to get what you want during normal play cool, otherwise go bang your head against a wall for hours? Nah

  • Exotic farming needs to go away. Luke Smith is gone and all his terrible ideas need to be scrapped. All collection rolls should be +12 in all stats. When you masterwork the armor, you can choose the stat distribution for a total of +84 overall points. If you ever want to change the distribution again, it should cost 1 ascendant shard.

  • My biggest gripe beyond abysmal drop rates, is the fact that in a team based game, you have to play solo to earn and farm them. Yes, higher end nightfalls are there, but then you're farming from the whole pool, which makes it even worse to target farm something you want a better roll on. Personally, I'd like them to bring glass needles back, and have them drop from all legend and master and above content. Higher difficulty = more needles. At least then you would have the ability to target gear you want to improve. The mechanics are already there, just have a look at the last Solstice event.

    • I don’t see why they can’t make a grandmaster version of the lost sectors for solo players Some of them can be completed on master in under 5 minutes Make it that it guarantees an exotic on completion

      • Here’s a change idea: Lost sectors drop exotic engrams for the armor slot of the day ie chest piece or arms and we gain 10 new exotic engram slots just for lost sectors exotic engrams as to not crowd inventory Take engram to rahool for a random exotic drop for that slot OR go to xur and focus the engram into a specific exotic in that armor slot Legend lost sectors get a 5% drop rate or 1/20 runs for exotic engrams Master gets 25% drop rate ot 1/4 runs for exotic engrams

        • Haven't bothered grinding for exotics in a few seasons now. Not worth the headache. I can live without them.

        • While they're at it, stop with the grind for useless catalysts. "Picking up an ionic trace reloads the magazine." What the actual hell?!?! I can easily press "x" to reload. My thumb still works, mostly.

            You aren't the first and won't be the last to say it. IMO I think the best way to solve this issue without getting rid of the grind is to make it so you can re-roll exotic armor pieces you have for a sum of materials. Of course it'll be expensive, I'd make it an ascendant shard, 50-100 legendary shards, and 20k-40k glimmer.
