The new sandbox update is looking pretty interesting, but I'm also really worried about how broken they will be. A lot of Legendary guns have been able to out class Exotic guns in the past, but this is on a while in level.
I don't have a problem with them existing, however, make exotic weapons equal to them.
Exotic guns are suppose to be the pinnacle reward and are suppose to be special. But eventually, Adept weapons are going to take that spot light and everybody in their mother is going to try to go flawless for them.
You are already limited to one exotic weapon at a time. I do not see the harm in buffing them to a new level to make them live up to their name. There are many ways to do this without breaking the game. If not, Adept weapons will kill the Crucible.

Honestly with how the sandbox is kinda playing out, exotic weapons are looking better than legendaries tbh. Best 180 HC? Malfeasance with 20 round mag and explosions, easily. Best 140 HC? Either Thorn or Ace. Best 120 HC? Sturm. Best 600 auto? Suros because it breaks the rof rules. Best pulse? Vigilance Wing might now be the best gun in the game. So on and so forth. There are still some guns that need help, but class by class exotics are looking a little bit distanced from their counterparts. Even Guillotine is probably going to get tossed off it's hill of dominance with the nerf and incoming exotic sword.
