So I played the level 28 PoE last night for the first time, and was awarded back to back Gjallarhorns!
This is idiotic. Bungie should not allow players to be rewarded any exotics from the lvl 28 Prison. It is too easy! Anyone could beat it and then get rewarded with some of the best weapons in the game. It is 4 levels lower than the Nightfall, but yet you can get some of the game's best gear.
I mean think of the gameplay we first had to do to reach the VoG exotic chest or even Ir Yut. You needed a fully coordinated, and somewhat proficient, fireteam. Now, just pop into matchmaking and get a Gally, for literally doing nothing. Might as well just start handing out the Mythoclast for completing patrols.
Anyway, I won't be using anymore keys on the lvl 28. I feel I should at least have to earn the rewards I get.
Edit 1:
This isn't crying or bit*hing, it is just a legit concern. I love when my friends or others get the exotics they need, but it is really the manner of getting these exotics from the PoE that is very anticlimactic.
Some of you have said that you have gotten exotics from low level strikes, crucible, and/or patrol chests. Yes, these things are easy, but the chances of getting exotic drops here are extremely rare, and, in most cases, completely unexpected. Which makes receiving them very exciting for the player and other players involved. However, in PoE we can expect multiple exotics on a weekly basis. This kind of ruins the excitement of receiving them in the first place and therefore takes a lot of the fun out of it.
Some of you have raised the point that most people have all or most of the exotics now anyway. I would definitely agree with this too, but I feel that this is a disappointing stat. Exotics should be just that, exotic. Having weekly farms for exotics makes them even less rare and again takes the fun from the game. I feel that even Xur should not be selling any exotics. I'm fine with him selling exotic armor but weapons should be left for random drops or hard fought battles (or at least battles with some sort of effort).
I guess in reality, I just like working for my rewards, makes getting them feel more... rewarding. ;) I'm just disappointed with how easy lvl 28 PoE is.
Edit 2:
It's great to see the level of controversy this post had caused. For those responding with thoughtful comments and rebukes I thank you. You have made me look at my initial opinion and reaction a little differently. Saying "idiotic"in the original title was perhaps a little harsh, and I'll admit, my original tone might have been too negative.
However, my main concern now is the serious lack of reading comprehension and the associated negativity that comes from sharing an opinion on these forums. Allow me to clarify.
I don't care about others getting Gjallarhorn, or any other exotic for that matter. I have them all and understand the collectors/hoarders mindset. But my main issue was just how expected or dependable they have made acquiring exotics. I feel that this has taken some of the excitement from the random acquisition of the weapons and for me takes a lot of the fun from it. It is cool that you need a key, but I can't get behind level 28 PoE matchmade exotics.

5 RepliesThe game has been out for use to a year. People should have all exotics by now. Btw since the new dlc has released I am back to not having all exotics. PoE is for the people who wanted something different. I have done both raids and after Crota I was a little sick of raiding. PoE reminds me of firefight from Halo Reach. My only criticism is hat they should have put in challenges that reward you with xp, gear or extra progress towards the PoE faction. Such as kill 5 objective targets in a week or kill 50 cabal or melee 25 thrall. This would make it more interesting and increase replay ability and not just for fear. Halo Reach Firefight had these types of built in weekly challenges.

It's not even a big deal. Stop worrying about what someone else is getting. Bungie designed it that way. The Queen's Wrath weapons are not THAT good. They belong in the 28; they're very basic legendaries. The higher levels give better rewards. This does not negatively affect you at all.
