We have a weapon rarity tree, as you all know (or do we?) which in theory determines how coveted a certain group of weapons is.
Unfortunately, because of Xur being able to sell almost every exotic, in effect this renders Bungie's beloved yellows not so rare.
In the beginning (day 1 player) I couldn't wait to see which yellow weapon I'd drop first and how awesome it was and when I got my Thunderlord and Hard Light from the loot cave (lol cave) I was so excited, and rightly so; both were absolute beasts and served me so well.
I then spotted other Guardians rocking fancy yellows and I became envious of Suros, Truth, Plan C, Red Death, all of which I have since received but each with a decreasing feeling of achievement and excitement. Because of Xur.
The game now has no truly rare weapons outside the hard raid, which is so easy to complete that every 31 and 32 should now have a Fang, Word or Defiant. IMO, of course.
So perhaps Exotics aren't supposed to be rare, but they should be, otherwise they're just legendaries with a buttery background. They are no longer special as they're all purchasable just like all Vanguard and most faction guns.
I want the next round of Exotics to be ultra-rare and not sold by Xur. That's what I want (I know it won't happen)
Xur should have a small selection or, let's say 6 or 7 exotic weapons, the rest should be those deemed as teh best weapons and they should only be rewarded by RNGesus.
There are no special snowflake weapons left now and (cue the hate) having a special snowflake weapon is something a lot of players value. We all now have the same armouries and so there seems little point in having a coloured rarity tree; all weapons are available to everyone.
To summarise, the word 'snowflake' was said.
edit - I am fully aware that 'exotic' does not mean 'rare', I am saying that Destiny's exotics should be rare but are not. Thanks for coming though.
edit - Thanks for all the support, everyone. So nice to see how many of you agree with me :)
edit - Just give me what I want and nobody will get hurt
edit - I am cool
edit - Trending to the max but I don't care because of the above edit

edit - Just stop biting, please. So many biters, biting like funny lil fishies in the sea of being oblivious
edit -please keep biting
edit - You are fat
edit - I have become tired of this one now, so thanks for sharing yourselves and cool points to those who spotted the trollage and those who didn't take it seriously.
edit - Despite some of the anger and gingerness pouring in, I still love you all :-)

Exotics have specific perks that separate them from Legendaries, hence the word "exotic". If you truly believe that Exotics should be rare, then you have the right to not purchase from Xur and completely rely on RNG. Purchasing items from Xur is not mandatory.

True, bungie always talked about exotics being these rare guns that we would have kinda have a "wow" factor when we would get them. That "wow" factor died after 2 months after release. Exotics are way to "common". I'm not against xur selling them, but I would prefer them to be in bountys instead and for xur to sell legendarys (36 light ones). Feels like exotics are more common than a single legendary engram drop or reward. The only really rare exotic right now is Necrochasm & Gjallagorn I guess.
