[quote]It's more that exotics are collectables and the new ones shown looked cool. Its more just plain confusing why they haven't been released - along with all the shaders, emblems and TTK ship we've all seen but can't obtain in the kiosks since SEPTEMBER 2015. What gives?[/quote] Well, they aren't collectible until they're actually in the game and you can add them to the kiosk. But they don't even show up there as far as I know, so they shouldn't be affecting anyone that's after finishing off a collection. I gotta be honest - among all the games I've played, I care about how my Guardian looks the least of any of them. I never see myself except in the inventory screen or the tower, and almost never notice what anyone else is wearing. Besides, what if they suck but look good? Is anyone really going to swap around whenever they go into the tower, so the other (maximum) 15 people can "ohh" and "ahh" over it? What a waste of time.

The emblems, shaders and ship are visible in the kiosks and the exotics are visible are in the armoury. So they are in the game, but they're not available. And that's why people are annoyed. As for the look of your character - I think that's massively important! If it was just about getting the gear you NEED (in the context of 'needing' anything in a video game!) as opposed to the gear you WANT then the game would be a lot simpler. Have you never stumbled across a guardian and thought 'wow that shader is cool, where do I get it?' or seen an emblem and thought 'wow that guy has the scarab emblem, he must be a big deal in the crucible'? These are the things that keep 90% of the Destiny population interested in grinding over, and over, and over. I know I often put on different bits of armour because they look cool and it's a balance between stats and being an OG.

The look of my characters vary in importance from game to game. I cared more in WoW because some weapons and armor sets looked great, and because you could make yourself very unique and show off to, well, a lot of players. But the armor in Destiny doesn't look that different overall to me, so it's hard to be unique. There's much less emphasis on sets (and less sets), and there's nobody to show off to anyway since the maximum players is 16 in the Tower, and the Tower is boring.
