I wouldn’t mind this change but your analogy of the old raid weapons becoming exotic is invalid. This was due to them having elemental damage as a kinetic weapon. Something Bungie went away from after year one because they knew it broke the PvE meta - this is why there was a legendary version without a burn for fatebringer year 3 etc.
Mindbender if it was not sunset still saw usage over Felwinter for some players who wanted slideshot and QuickDraw and has no ‘unique’ tendencies. I think the QuickDraw change will help the Meta overall as it stops the quick swap to long distance kill that gets so many players (including myself) out of trouble. Apes gonna ape but most of them are bad.

From the videos I saw a god rolled mindbenders was actually better and could consistently get kills beyond the range of felwinters.
