People are always looking for metrics by which to judge others in Destiny. Besides grimoire, I'd say either having or not having those three weapons is the best indicator of what kind of player you are.
The cool thing is each one says something different about you. Touch of Malice shows determination. It says that you cared enough to find 45 calcified fragments (regardless of what method you used to find them) and perhaps most importantly you have finished the raid.
Sleeper Simulant shows you are an active member of the community. Let's be honest probably 99.6% of us had to look up the steps and/or passcodes. The guys who figured this all out are legends and in a completely separate category from most of us. Basically it shows that you check the forums and know how to look up stuff on Destiny.
I saved the best for last. Black Spindle. One of the fiercest challenges I have ever faced as a Guardian. Easily the best indicator of skill out of the three. It's unlikely you got carried through that mission and shows that you pulled your weight.
If you don't have all three you are a filthy, disgusting casual and The Traveler frowns upon your existence :) git gud scrubs.
Edit #1. Wow this blew up overnight. Many of you have requested that I add the Chaperone and exotic swords to this. I have the Chaperone and it does belong here. Using a nerfed Last Word in the crucible was a true test of character (excluding boosting of course). I don't have my exotic sword yet (I'm close) so I can't speak on that.

You don't need to use TLW. All you need is to have it equipped. Just run Mayhem.

5 RepliesI don't want to do the raid, or waste time on Black Spindle, but to be fair, you're in no place to call anyone a scrub

Another post promoting elitism- congratulations for virtual elitism!

Despite the underwhelming questline and performance of the Sleeper Simulant, I really love the way Bungie has made us work for these top tier exotics. The Touch of Malice is a fantastic raid weapon and took plenty of determination to get. Black Spindle is easily the most difficult to attain, and on my opinion, easily deserves its 310 damage. The exotic sword quest is the most time consuming, but in my opinion, the most rewarding. The darkblade strike is very challenging, especially if your strike team is going for all three swords. It's ridiculous, but also really fun. Those exotic swords are so much fun to wield! I really hope that Bungie builds on this quest-centric way of obtaining exotics. Thank you, OP, for posting this!

Props to you guys. I'm still working on all three
-
20 RepliesWell, no offense, but black Spindle is mostly held by kids and unemployed adults, maybe adults with weird work schedules. I have the other two, but worked days of Black Spindle...
-
Nice post. I have all three plus two of the swords, just gotta kill alak hul again for the arc one. Not started chaperone or first curse questa yet, when it comes to Crucible I'd say it's fair to call me a scrub ;)
-
The exotic swords would represent patience. [b]Lots[/b] of patience.

Thank you kind sir ..
