Agree with the last part. Exotics should be a bit stronger than their legendary counter-parts not op,just stronger or "different". And Thats still the case isnt it? About the Almost impossible to get well thats a game design decision. Seeing how xur is in the game I think bungie wants exotics to be acccessible to everyone. With Certain exotics only from raids/bounties. They are trying to cater to hardcore people and casuals.
