Would love it if we could apply the appearance of the exotics we’ve earned onto our legendary armor. Ive got some that I love the way they look but they aren’t practical to my play style so I don’t wear them. Not to mention I can only wear one at a time. It sucks to have these dope looking armors go to waste just sitting in my vault. Imagine how crazy looking some of these armor combinations would be if we could apply the appearance to our legendaries! Seems a waste not to be able to.

The devs want Exotic armor (and thus their Exotic perks) to be identifiable by sight for PvP activities. Being able to apply the appearance of Exotics to Legendary armor would impair the ability of other players to do so, requiring them to either go into menus to inspect their opponents’ gear (in this case hovering over each armor piece to determine the [b][i]true[/i][/b] Exotic) or simply wait until they see the Exotic perk in action, potentially putting them at a disadvantage for having to wait.
