I agree and I have used that argument many a time but that is not how Bungie sees it. Time and time again we get subpar exotics that don't live up to their name. When was the last time you used a monte carlo, suros, invective, or super good advice? The problem is that RNG sucks and it pisses people off. In order to compensate for this, bungie wants exotics to seem lack luster like, "Those are cool, but not essential." They do this so they don't have to fix their rng system and/or listen to a whining community that can't get a g-horn after "2,000 hours" of play time.
