....Can't blame Bungie for making an Exotic challenging to get. Wasn't that the point?

I CAN blame Bungie for making a system that somehow has only offered me the same Thorn/Juju/Invective missive SIX TIMES on one character. I've literally NEVER seen another Exotic bounty across THREE different characters. I know I know; random random is random....that doesn't make it right or good. It does make it FRUSTRATING.

I did Bad Juju...twice. I don't want or need to do it again. I'll never use a shotgun - not my playstyle - and I've got better guns than Thorn so I'll likely never use that one either. So the other night when I received the SAME missive for the SEVENTH time on the same character.....what's the point?

Six times? Oh, my sweet summer child... I've gotten that Missive well over a dozen times on ONE character, let alone the other two. I've only thrice ever been offered the other weapons across my characters.

Also, the POINT is TO randomly offer you A CHANCE to work for AN exotic WEAPON. The weapons AREN'T vital to your SUCCESS, so you DON'T really need TO do them if you don't want TO. There's no REASON to get angry ABOUT it.

A possible fix would be to add the ability to earn other Exotics (heck, even some of the less popular ones, like the MIDA), so you wouldn't have to pick between the ones that require Crucible. Maybe a fourth option that required using only green weapons on a tough Story mission or something... That'd make things interesting, as you'd rely on your grenades and melee more, and the difficulty would free you from Crucible grinding, which can cause you to change your playstyle, as I know that teammates playing at less than 100% tends to bring whiners out...
