Exotics in this game, by and large, need a lot of work. Some are ok and actually feel special, and are useful (Bullet King, Acosta's Go-bag), but some just feel like they're not even worth the effort to farm and not worth using once you do get them (Nemesis, Dodge City Holster).
Add to that the fact that they can't be rerolled/upgraded, and it really becomes a question of "why bother?". Since Gear 2.0 dropped, I haven't set out to do a single activity with the intention of farming an exotic. The thing is, I'd be fine with the drop rates being as low as they are, IF we knew we'd get good rolls. Not necessarily god rolls, but they should all at least be 60-70% max rolls, minimum. You should never have a situation where you pick up an exotic that has all rolls like 20% or less. That's just pure garbage, no one's going to incorporate that into their builds, it just aggravates and disappoints people. It's either getting broken down immediately, or going into the stash "just to have it", where it will never again see the light of day.
If it's going to continue to be possible to get garbage-rolled exotics, then either the drop rates need to increase, or we need some means of being able to reroll them like any other piece of gear. Require the use of exotic mats or some other combination of unique/rare items so that we can't go crazy with it, but at least give us something.
