Yeah this is ridiculous even by their standards, exotics are in essence the spicy ingredients you put between a sandwich and if they don't even work then what is anybody playing for? The forefront armour and weapons of their game and they don't even work properly? It's like they slam out an expansion with all this broken shit they haven't somehow discovered through play testing and all call it a day because they've done enough work for this quarter, shift all resources to the sequel! The cycle of destiny always being slightly underwhelming will always continue as a result of this model as Activision doesn't want to risk an evolving updated mmo lite. They want that and a call of duty revenue model via sequels. I feel for the developers of the game that are genuinely trying to give us a good consistent experience but they are squeezed by business practices left right and centre.
