It doesn't have to be this way! (Destiny)

Yeah, it'll take a few days per exotic but those were days you were going to be playing anyway.

I think the issue most people are taking is not that they have to play more to get more. In fact, that is what everyone is saying they would prefer. I would much prefer to play more and unlock further damage.

The issue is that you have to give up all the abilities (mainly signature abilities that we all love) in order to keep your exotic weapon still viable. If you don't undergo this loss and subsequent grind, you basically experience a nerf, because the people and enemies you encounter will have damages boosted.

"Grind" of course being used in the DBO tradition to mean "playing the game." You'll get you signature abilities back and upgrading exotics is supposed to be faster than before. I'm just happy that any exotic I have will stay relevant if I want it to. Being forced to play the game I was already playing is such a non-issue to me.
