Yeah bungies thought process on it is all over the place. I think they need to implement something like this instead that way no one can get mad.

People are still gonna get mad either way, if they get the same exotic =rage if they get a lame exotic =rage There's no winning :P

But like if anything you can store it for another character, dismantle it for stuff, or keep it to see if trading will be a thing sometime. And wait for next week or if you have a ton of strange coins, try it again maybe with a different exotc weapon engram. I mean people will complain less I think but there are always complainers.
