grinding for specific exotics can be a pain, exotics take time to drop, and with the increasing amount of them, the chance of finding the armor piece you want can take forever, not to mention the fact that many exotics don't have the stat role that you are looking for.
that is why it might be nice to be able to use exotic ciphers that you can acquire from Xur as well as an exotic engram (or prime engram) that can drop randomly from activities to be able to focus the engram into the desired (already owned) exotic armor piece to assist in the hunt of the desired god roll.
p.s.
exotic ciphers require you to complete an objective to obtain and can only be done once per week per character when bought from Xur, so it is not broken nor will it decrease the enjoyment or playtime during the seasons. if people don't get what they want then they are more likely to stop playing the game out of frustration.
- this feature would be a nice addition to the "monument to lost lights" in the tower between the vaults
- max 3 exotic ciphers in inventory (one for the completion of the quest on each character a week)

Exotics are already too easy to get. They are exotics. They are the pinnacles of the loot world and they shouldn't be handed out so easily.
