I've been working hard to upgrade exotics. I wasn't fortunate enough to get a lot of exotic shards in Year 1. I dismantled many Year 1 exotics I had in order to upgrade Year 2 weapons because someone got the bright idea to make it so Xur doesn't sell exotic shards anymore. Why? Why do I have to buy exotic armor and weapons for 23 strange coins a pop? I remember the exotic shards being cheaper when they were sold by themselves. Let Xur sell them again! It's annoying having to buy stuff and dismantle it!
