If that is so, this is literally the only game that has followed that line of reasoning, every other game with "legendary" or "exotic" weapons are called thusly because they are hard to get and reward you with the perks they have. I'm sure if everyone was walking around with thunderfury when it was relevant it wouldn't have been as big a deal

Have you even played world of Warcraft because they hand out epic gear just like this game hands out legendaries and exotics. Who cares about thunderfury or hand of rag those were shit unless you played vanilla wow

Edited by Thr0ckmorton: 1/19/2015 4:17:08 PMYes and 1) 27 strange coins in this game (3 for each character on a weekly, is just as easy to get as like 10 gold in wow and I know for a fact you can't get high end exotic weapons or armour anywhere for 10 gold. And 2) world of war craft has an infinitely larger stock of weapons armour than destiny so selling a few items doesn't make a difference.

I'd say this is where raid rewards would fall. Hard to obtain but definitely the best in the game. Now obviously with all the cheeses it ruins the exclusivity of such items.

Edited by Thr0ckmorton: 1/19/2015 4:03:23 PMExcept raid rewards are legendary typically and every game with a loot rarity system (green blue purple yellow or similar) has always had legendary items and up be hard to obtain and the yellow/exotic/super rare weapons or armor even harder to obtain, whether it be a quest chain or pure and complete luck from a drop , how many bosses/mobs in WoW had like a .1% drop rate for their items. I don't see how you can argue that cheesing decreases the exclusivity of purple raid items but xur doesn't decrease the exclusivity of yellow/exotic items

Never played WoW. Raid gear is legendary but everyone will agree it's the best on the game. Even if there was ways to obtain 36 light armor, raid gear would still be better just on perks. Exotics are just a legendary gun with a special perk. They don't do extra damage, they aren't game breaking. My LDR does more damage then icebreaker , but it doesn't regen ammo which is exotic. Exotics are legendaries in every way except one perk.

Edited by Thr0ckmorton: 1/19/2015 4:19:22 PMIt doesn't have to be wow pretty much every online game that has the rarity system as I stated typically has the legendary/exotic weapons as pinnacle of their class and harder to obtain, to have a game where the stock of exotic weapons is low and then have a dude that sells them for maybe 2 hours worth of works seems a bit silly in my opinion

Your going back to rarity which isn't the point of exotics. Exotics are on par with legendaries (damage/defense). Exotics aren't in there own class. They don't do higher damage and they don't have better defense. There isn't progression between legendary and exotic. One perk is legit the only difference. OP is acting like a level 20 bought a sniper from xur that regens ammo that makes the level 20 as strong as a 32.

Edited by Thr0ckmorton: 1/19/2015 5:39:44 PMRarity is exactly supposed to be the point of exotics and that's my point and I believe ops point. Exotics have always been Something to strive for thay were better and more rare than even legendaries, to sell them I think kind of cuts the game short and takes out a major part of it just because people don't want to grind for them
