Need More Ways to Earn Exotic Class Items (following patch 8.0.0.5)

We need more ways to earn exotic class items and I want to see Bungie provide a breakdown of the % chance drop rates (which we know they'll never do the latter). Let these Exotic items drop from any chest or activity completion in the game, or select certain activities where they're acceptable. Keep the % chance the same as the world chests, but give us more options to obtain the items or select the random rolls from a pool of options like Shiny Brave Weapons, please Bungie. Put them as a reward from the Onslaught bosses, 1 drop every 10 waves, or 3-4 drops at wave 50 (1 every 15 minutes since thats the going rate). We could even include it as the path finder reward over Ergo, because lets be real, Ergo is not a worthy pathfinder reward at the moment. The possibilities are there, please do something. The Youtube account of Casual Gamer provided a detailed breakdown that the drop chance from world chests is about 2.5% or 1 item every 15 minutes if you hit 40 chests in that time. He also said Dual Destiny has an average clear time of 15 minutes, which seems rather quick for average players, but we'll go with it. Usually Dual Destiny is 25+ for the average team. Therefore, world chests are now the prime way of obtaining these items. With the 8.0.0.5 patch this morning Bungie has done away with one of the few viable ways to earn the exotic class items reliably without having to grind world chests or lost sectors and be completely bored while doing so. Patching the glitch of duplicating the drops was completely unnecessary in my opinion others may differ, and has completely killed the point of the Dual Exotic Mission existing once you do it the first time. I expect people will still play the mission, to unlock the items or because its something they can do, but in far fewer numbers as it won't be worth the effort.
