    The Great Quagmire: Exotics aren't supposed to be the Best, So why limit to 1?

    So on the SoTG today the developer stated

    "Exotics are not meant to be the best item, they are supposed to offer new interesting mechanics to play"

    If they are not the "Best" item, why limit to only carrying 1 weapon and 1 equipment?
    Shouldn't we only limit the "Best" items to a limit of 1?

    Also, why not allow Exotics to be Recalibrated? After all they are not the "Best" items.
    What's with all these restrictions on items that according to developers are not the "Best"

    I honestly don’t see that as a bad thing. If they aren’t meant to be the best items and just a glorified named piece of gear/weapon, wearing or utilizing more than one weapon/gear piece shouldn’t be an issue.

    They are really working hard to to players leave this game for good.

    Tell me what is the point to play a loot /shoot game if the rare items doesn´t matter.

    Instead of making other things good, they nerf what is viable (m1a, fox prayer´s and contractor´s gloves) cause its easier to them.

    Congrats Devs, you are really killing this game.

    Unbelievable, just unbelievable.

    Then don't use them? I can't stand the amount of clicking required for rifles, but I don't begrudge people using them.

    There are two exotic holsters. The Imperial Dynasty is great for a status effect build - as well as annoying PvP'ers

    Locking exotics behind content

    If theyre not supposed to be the best, these devs should either put them into the open world completely or increase drop chances. Makes no sense to make something crap hard to get. I.e bighorn. Legendary for what?

    Dodge city holster right now is abysmal, but yeah the point is you have a bad gun that needs a gimmick to reach a level of being good as weapon when most weapons are just a question of getting good stats, exotics have an extra layer of effort for lesser reward. Sweet dreams main use is not as a shotgun but as a way to melee enemies inside healing circles in legendary. Pure gimmicks don't validate their use, i mean chamaleon is just a horrible AR right now because you would need to activate the talent first so it would reach the level of the others AR, not surpass them, just reach the same level, becaseu the damage lag you left before reaching that point is not compensated properly by it's talents, resulting in underperformance unless in extremely perfect conditions that are not common enough to validate it's use.

    Again - then don't use them. Not everyone places the same importance on the things you do.

    No disagreement there, but just because the implementation is poor doesn't invalidate the concept.
