I run plenty of loadouts in the crucible which compete equally well that can be picked up easily; Primaries - arminius-D, hawksaw, pdx-45, suros dis-47 Secondaries - 1k yard stare, havoc pigeon, conspiracy D, thesan, vacancy Heavies - JLB 47, ruin wake, objection IV These are only some. Your options of competitive weapons are plentiful so no need to complain about being disadvantaged in the crucible. As the the exotic quest lines that require crucible gameplay (chaperone, the first curse) they can be some of the hardest in the game. Take they away and there are almost no exotics left that are prize worthy for the effort you put in (black spindle may be the exception). There's no hard raid completion exotic, no praying to rngesus for gallarhorn. Signed an average player with all the exotics.
