Ok so everyone feels this way, what's the point of a weapon being "exotic" if they're sold every other weekend by this tool of the nine? The very meaning of exotic is, and I quote "of a kind not used for ordinary purposes or not ordinarily encountered." NOT ORDINARILY ENCOUNTERED!!! They aren't "exotic if everyone encounters them! So here is my suggestion. With every public event, have a new exotic weapon and armor piece. There is a limited amount of time to earn enough reputation with that specific event, to earn yourself a true exotic item. Once the event is over, that's it! It's over, now everyone who toiled and ground out that event to get the exotic, truly has something to be envied. Something that few have earned, and nobody ever will again. THAT IS EXOTIC, THAT IS WHAT WE WANT.
Which brings me to my closing topic. Now everyone on the Destiny team is thinking. Well the people who don't have much time to play are shit out of luck. If it were me I'd say, "yea, to bad." However it's not me, and if you think everyone who badly plays will be sore about it. Implement a "pokemon" style trading system within the tower. This way people can have the oppritunity to trade for an exotic they missed out on. END RANT: EAT MY SHORTS XÜR
Shout out to DirtyRed! He came up with the basic idea.

14 RepliesI had to literally buy Patience and Time from Xur because RNG hasn't given me shit. I'm a level 27 with only one exotic weapon, Bad Juju. I haven't done the raid yet because I'm waiting for some friends to level up, so I've been stuck at level 27 for a while using the same rare sniper and rare auto rifle. It was ridiculous. I hear all of these stories about people getting exotics from playing tiger strikes and the crucible, yet through weeks of playing I haven't been given crap. Not to mention I haven't had ONE legendary engram drop in the weeks since that damn cryptarch patch. The ONLY legendary engrams I've gotten since that patch has been from leveling up the cryptarch, and they've only given me ascendent materials. So, I bought that damn exotic sniper. Xur's been my only saving grace at this point. Good for you that RNG blessed you. RNG hates me, so I have to find other ways to keep up with my level.
