When I first got up to level and started doing nightfalls, I couldn't get an exotic to drop for the life of me. Just kept dropping legendary snipers over and over. I was pissed at the time and just stuck them in the vault. After a while I realized the wealth of sniper goodness I had been blessed with. Pure luck. Just for fun, I put them on my characters today for all to see.

Funny how back then all we wanted was exotics. Now all we want is the old legendaries we can't get.
