My feelings on the matter and how I see gear.
Common, uncommon, rare, legendary and exotic was a poor word choice, they are not tiered by rarity they are tiered by power. The only "rare" items are gear/weapons only obtainable by RNG. Such as raid gear/weapons and faction gear/weapons not sold.
Love my multi-tool and hope those that buy it today will enjoy it and help them get through harder strikes and weeklys.

I've mentioned this before as well. Greens should be common because they are Blues should be uncommon Purples are most definitely rare and exotics should first and foremost alien weapons and gear. Not man made, that's not exotic in a space game.
