Yeah. However, the new exotics from House of Wolves, Queenbreakers' Bow, for example, still take a long time to level up even though it has less nodes. It's still a significant amount of XP you have to dump into them. It's another way to put artificial replay value into the game, and I'm not a fan of the decision to do this. With all the new questing and stuff to do, I hope it makes grinding a little more fun.
