I read plenty of people saying that you don't earn exotics via RGN while others believe you don't earn them when you buy them from Xur. I felt truly satisfied when I earned Thorn via an exotic bounty.
Eureka!
Why not have Xur sell exotic bounties rather than exotic weapons?? This would surely be the solution. What are your thoughts Guardians?
Bump if you agree!!!
Addition:
I just thought of this analogy of a real life situation to further validate my idea. Someone likened buying an exotic with strange coins to purchasing an item in real life. Following that line of thought, why not look at how to buy an "exotic" item in real life.
Buying a Ferrari vs. buying a Ferrari Enzo. Anyone can buy a Ferrari with enough money. Not everyone with the money was able to buy the Ferrari Enzo. You had to fulfill requirements to then buy it.
Ferrari= legendary
Ferrari Enzo= exotics
