The real problem with the exotics is Bungie. Lets put out a few examples: - Originally TLW was a monster in and out of PvP, the very definition of exotic on a gun... now it's just an auto-firing gun NOBODY will hip-fire anymore because of how many nerfs it got due to the minority complaining it was OP. Rightfully so I agree, but Bungie shoulda buffed something else to be in line, OR nerf the range of TLW so the range and falloff drastically affected damage outside of normal fusion rifle or long range for shotguns -to emphasize it being a duelist's gun from the old western times. - Hawkmoon used to be THE definition of a hand cannon, it could snipe snipers, kill someone in one shot(pure luck), and it was pinpoint accuract and just as deadly as a hunting Hawk... now it's just a short range ghost bullet pistol that is not even a shadow of it's former self. - Thorn was probably THE MOST unique exotic of the lot. It had characteristics of Hive design, shot out railroad spikes that caused hefty DoT(it did need nerfing), and it was the ultimate Guardian Bane... now it has hilariously bad accuracy, sh*t recoil, no real range and the DoT is just absolutely pathetic. - Red Death during the pulse rifle era truly was "A Guardian Killer" and was well worth the usage in PvE too... now with the steep range nerf, falloff nerf and damage nerf it is a "Guardian Tickler" and barely worth the usage in PvE. You see the trend? Whatever gun holds a lot of usage will naturally get used over all others, and Bungie's response is to nerf that gun AND it's class type rather than balancing out the gun itself or buffing others up to be on par with it or at least a competitive option.
