What's the point of deeming weapons "Exotic" anymore Bungie?
Iv'e been wanting to make a post about this for some time but haven't gotten around to it.
It's obvious why armor pieces are exotic and should be for good reason.
Guns such as Suros Regime, Hawkmoon, Hardlight, and a few other primaries right now just don't feel exotic... even Thorn.
Why even bother using a Hawkmoon now when Eyasluna and Palindrome just outperform it in every aspect?Why use an Auto-Rifle when a high RoF pulse rifle is basically that but better, or a Doctrin?
Basically we should just go ahead and remove some guns from the Exotic pool and drop them down to Legendaries or give them Life of the Exotic, because of they've been neutered.
I don't know if it's the nerfherd who should be blamed for this nonsense, or Bungie for caving in and actually nerfing the primaries because someone most likely got outplayed but blamed the primary for being "Too OP".

2 RepliesI think exotic weapons should have good stats but not incredibly out performing stats. Where the exotic essence comes in is the perks. But some exotics have some not very good perks.

Thorns wing was clipped as soon as they decided it was a good idea to make it tick for like 2 seconds and only do 2 damage. Practically a glorified legendary

Exotics aren't supposed to be better than legendaries. They're supposed to be unique and different, but not necessarily better. Also, take note that most of the exotics you listed are primaries that people try to use in PvP. Unfortunately, primary weapons as a whole are terrible in PvP. Most kills are with special weapons, abilities, or heavy weapons. This helps make these weapons seem worse than they are.

5 RepliesI think they should simply not allow exotic weapons in pvp. Then they wouldn't need to be "nerfed" for the sake of making them balanced. It's annoying that a gun I liked in pve is made redundant just to please the pvp players.

2 RepliesThey are exotic, they look different to all other gear in the game. They're not exotic because they're better but because they're different.

Bungie has nerfed almost every exotic down to legendary status. Thorn is a great example. I believe the reason you use an exotic over a legendary is for the exotic perk. Thorn's exotic perk has been almost completely removed. It only does 2 damage for 4 quick ticks. Plus there's an artifact that weakens it even more. Most exotic weapons bungie can up with for year 2 just returned ammo to the mag or buffed stats on a kill, which isn't very creative or unique anymore. And what's with the lack of void exotics?

10 RepliesTo me all exotics including most armor has become nothing more than infuse fuel.

Kind of like 'exotic dancers', right?
