Where are my Lasers? [suggestion for the future] (Destiny)

Destiny is a game filled with awe-inspiring sights and fantastical locations. The weapons are cool, but the more I play the less excited I am about acquiring new gear. I've already got Gjallarhorn 2.0, Icebreaker 2.0, Mythoclast, Suros Regime 2.0, and a basket full of top-level legendary weapons. Like most of us, I have a short-list of guns that are the most effective.

I think this collection of sentences puts you in a very, very small subclass of Destiny players. I don't have ANY of those weapons, much less all of them - and I think I'm about as well-outfitted as the average player.

I like finding/buying new stuff, because I'm NOT maxed out. I'm very, very far from running out of new gear excitement - and I think that except in the rarified camp you're in, that's probably the case for most of us.

You're totally right, although I still think the entire player base would benefit from more diverse and unique exotic weapons. For example, even if you don't have many exotics yourself, you see them out in the open world all the time. You probably just don't always realize it, because most of them look and sound just like standard weapons. If more exotics had really distinct visual properties and firing mechanics, it would help set them apart. And when you do find one or complete a bounty, it would feel much more rewarding if it did something that none of your other guns do (even if the difference is purely superficial).
