I agree 100%. There needs to be something in the game to show a players progression. Historically that has been the exotics, and it should continue to be exotics. They are making almost the exact same mistake they made with the Dark Below with the Taken King. There is nothing there to let the players that have put over 1000 hours differentiate themselves from people that have just bought TTK. New players get an automatic character upgrade to level 25 with armor that (since it will be level 25 armor) will be better than our raid and trials gear more than likely. Their weapons will be better than ours, and our ours will mean nothing because our exotics, our best weapons, will be worse than their blue ones. Plus it doesn't make any sense that they are going in and drastically changing the balance of exotics if on literally the same day all those weapons are going to be worse than the blue weapons you get for completing a strike. It is the stupidest thing they have done to date.
