Deej please put a poll approve/disapprove on post so you can have numbers to take back to devs and show them what their decision will be met with. It will also allow the community to see how the majority feels. Just a suggestion.

Honestly I think exotics should be fully upgraded before you get to reset them...otherwise people who haven't even used the exotic can be higher with it than the people that spent all that time leveling it up!

All I want is to be able to play the VoG without encountering 20 glitches. Is this too much to ask?

I'd be okay with the upgrade system if the choice of what I upgraded wasn't random/based on Xur's inventory. I'm gonna end up using the same gear as everyone else despite my wide array of exotics that I've earned in the last 3 months. If Xur's repeated sale of the Armamentarium and Voidfang Vestments is indicative of anything, the truth of this upgrade system is that the community is going to be stuck using the same 3 or so exotics across the entire playerbase. Also, the cost is exorbitant. You're saying that the 20 or so hours of gameplay it takes to level up an exotic is meaningless, and that we should be okay with reinvesting that time on every exotic we have, along with the time it takes to gather 7 strange coins and 7000 glimmer. And then we have to reinvest time to level up the gun again and get 7 more strange coins. Why did Bungie think that this kind of time sink was acceptable? This is not good game design at all. The only difference between an upgraded exotic and a normal exotic is 30+ hours of grinding. Where's the gameplay? If you want it to take a long time to unlock an exotic's powers, why didn't you make special missions related to the exotic gun that give the upgrades as a reward? At least then getting an exotic gun would be like getting a special adventure to do. As it stands, getting an exotic actually sounds completely undesirable because of how much time the weapons require you to do repetitive tasks. Time is infinitely valuable Bungie. It's the one resource we can never get back. Being disrespectful of your customer's time is even worse than ripping them off of their money. I'd rather buy buggy, broken games like Assassin's Creed Unity than buy a single Bungie title after this. I regret buying your product. I regret playing your product. I thought Destiny was an underrated gem until today. Now I feel like I played a freemium game that took my money just to be taken offline after a few months because the developers didn't care about the way people viewed their company. You got my money this time Bungie, but never again.

Just trying to understand this...As many people seem to be. Please let me know if I got this right.If I have a Thorn Maxxed - I need to get a Shard (7 SC, and 7000 glimmer), bring it to Xur,get upgraded Thorn, Regrind it, Get ANOTHER Shard (7 SC) and fully max out new version. vs. Get New Thorn Bounty, get new Thorn - Max out thorn, Break down old Thorn or Get one Shard finish it off? The Grind is not what bothers me....its the 7 extra SC I need to pay and the 7K glimmer PER exotic...That will take longer than the bounty itself, and farming glimmer is not fun and doing a weekly only to spend the extra SC on an upgrade that a NEW item does not need, seems counter intuitive... or am I missing something? Does this seem like a steep penalty to the players who already have the Exotic or am I misunderstanding?

I like the idea to some extent and hate it on others. First you made us folk who preordered the game to grind out to get our gear to level 30. Now you are giving it away for free practically. So I suppose those who just get the game this holiday will be level 30 in no time considering. I think you should have made it where there were other avenues to get to 30 from the start. Dont call it endgame gear then make it regular. Also resetting our exotics something we worked hard to update is not such a bad idea. However, when a new adopter get the game he is already in the pudding of things. They wont know what it is like to play as a 29 for a month and a half and be stuck. They wont know the grind that some of us had to endure as this game got boring do to the stunt of development put on us gamers who got the game when it first came out.

I don't have countless hours to reupgrade guns that I've already upgraded. I'm 30 with a family and fulltime job. You pretty much just made it pointless for me to continue playing this game. Not like your company cares though cuz you already got my money for the game and expansion pass. Maybe y'all should've just added another tier of upgrades that require an exotic shard to unlock. Maybe y'all will care when destiny 2 barely sells. I'll most likely be done with destiny when i get gta5 in 3 weeks.

We shouldnt have to re-upgrade weapons and we certainly shoudnt have to wait on Xur and pay him anything to do it, as no one getting the weapons after tomorrow will have to go through this same bullshit, all you are doing is punishing the people who already have exotics (many have been collecting dust in a vault because they were useless like bad juju a nerfed pocket infinity and mythoclast).... you are not respecting our time and efforts at all..... you know i was excited to play the new content i pre-ordered the guardian edition and i have been playing every day all day long since the game came out and you have just ruined that for me i am no longer excited i feel disrespected i feel like you have been selling me lemons i cant use and now want me to pay to fix them to what they were suppose to be in the first place "better than the legendary's"
