I don't care about those people, I care about the fans of the game (as a head of Bungie). I'm not here to satisfy those ungrateful, elitist players, the point is people would have been glad to get an exotic. I think that outcome is better, the majority of people being happy because of the exotic holiday surprise compared to the majority of people being upset with some lackluster legendary. If the only con to giving away an exotic is the forums being flooded by the worst of gamers (which it already is) then I see no issue.
