I'm most excited to have to re-grind levelling exotic weapons I already have just like The Dark Below, but this time I have to use legendary marks AND glimmer to re-buy the weapon to do so! So much better than spending a little glimmer on Xur! I'm even more excited that not every exotic can be brought into The Taken King! Great job, Bungie :) [spoiler] sarcasm aside, there are more positives they're bringing in than negatives, but this one is still bugging me. Didn't they learn? [/spoiler]

They are actually upgraded versions of the exotics you have.
-
Yes, but the upgraded versions need to be releveled.

Just pointing out its not the same weapon but a better one.
-
true, however they are also level 40. so you wouldn't be able to use a year 2 exotic on day one of year two even if you had a fully levelled one.
-
Yeah, that is bugging me too. Luckily, it looks like they have taken the grind away SIGNIFICANTLY. Less nodes, and the stacked nodes upgrade at the same time. Hallelujah.
-
Yeah. However, the new exotics from House of Wolves, Queenbreakers' Bow, for example, still take a long time to level up even though it has less nodes. It's still a significant amount of XP you have to dump into them. It's another way to put artificial replay value into the game, and I'm not a fan of the decision to do this. With all the new questing and stuff to do, I hope it makes grinding a little more fun.

I never have received a HoW exotic (PoE crashes whenever I play; luckily, I am upgrading from 360 to One soon), so I don't know how bad the leveling times are. But at least armor comes with the exotic perk already unlocked.
