Most importantly the majority of the community d[ not use exotic class items because it looks pretty. They use exotic class items because a lot of the perks can make their builds even stronger that's the whole point of playing this game; you play for the loot you make your character stronger over time to play harder content that's how it's been since 2014 it's never been about the cosmetics!!

That is based on the Assumption if people actually care about the cosmetics I've been playing since 2014 and frankly I could give s*** about cosmetics I play games like destiny for the loot and for the content I don't play for cosmetics. Ex ook at the arms week that we had before renegades it had the lowest active player numbers in any event in destiny 2 solely on the reason that the main reward was a f****** helmet cosmetic nobody really cared about.. Bungie Ignored the fact that streamers professional gamers and most people in the community said that the event would have been more successful and would have brought back more players; if the rewards were new armor and weapons and not a cosmetic it just seems like they just want to do the most lazy way to bring back players they don't want to put in the work needed to get back players into the game.. That's why people in this community believes the reason bungie wants to focus on marathon is they lost interest in destiny they see it as a side project now they don't see it as their primary project for their studio. Ex that's why we hear things about a possible delay for the March update; that update was gonna bring additional conquests new systems for our current tier system (Source: Bungie Renegades first reveal) it was gonna bring additional content with the rumor of a new bounty system within the new social space...
