1.) A lot of these weapons caused controversy. 2.) They never said they'd be left in the dust totally. They could always be brought back in later on. Otherwise, what's the point in the blueprints? 3.) They're probably leaving them out so they can take time and figure out how to balance them properly. 4.) New weapons. I'm excited for them. I don't like being pressured into using exotics. "Use your ghorn!". "Hunger works just fine..." Also, I'm going to throw up if I hear my Fatebringer fire one more time.
