A great idea, actually... (Destiny)

Really? The stuff I get jealous about is the stuff that folks spend forever re-rolling... combinations of perks I simply haven't been able to get myself. Exotics... eh. Everyone's got 'em now.

This.

Yes, the exotics are more special in a way, because their perks are more unique and interesting (some times). Red Death's health regen, Gally's wolf rounds, etc., etc. But as long as you have it, everyone's exotic is exactly the same. With the legendary weapons, that's not true.

But I haven't been playing for super long, so I don't have resources built up like crazy. I've never had more than 30 motes of light at a time; I certainly don't have a hundred or more like a lot of people seem to.

So reforging is a big decision for me. Do I settle for only full auto, or do I try to get full auto and firefly? Is Grenades and Horseshoes enough, or do I keep going to get it and Tripod?

This sounds awful on paper, just more of what we expect from Destiny: getting screwed by RNG and grinding for resources. But for whatever reason, it works for me, and I like it. It feels great when I get that perfect roll that I wanted, and it's made me fall in love with some perks that I would have otherwise ignored, because I settle for taking the one perk I really wanted, and whatever else happens to drop with it.
