Well if you're having problems finishing a game I don't know what to tell you, but I mainly play crucible. I've got two exotics, gjallarhorn and tlw from crucible. I've see two other people get exotics. So a total of four all together. None finished first, all and even mine were about 3rd or 4th place. So idk, I don't have a point to all this, just sharing my experience
