I miss the days where the majority of new exotics were very rare and could be obtained anywhere, so it felt like you were being randomly rewarded simply for playing what you like. You’d either be surprised and ask yourself “ooooh, what’s this?” or excited and say “oh my god, I got it!”.
I also loved how back in D1 when there was no collection tabs, every exotic felt mysterious and fresh, so you’d have fun testing them out for yourself to see what they do.
Now that they’re rare and only obtainable from a specific source on a specific day, it really just feels like you’re doing chores for the sake of a single item rather than simply getting surprised by a drop that you wanted or never knew you wanted. IMO, earning exotics shouldn’t be just like grinding for legendaries.

D1 exotics we’re somewhat underpowered compared to the ones we have today and the reissued ones. But during that time, exotics were items that once granted one, you’d feel immense gratitude or satisfaction because you got a piece of gear that is supposedly the best gear in the game. I remember exotics were scarce, and strange coins were a thing to ration when it came to what exotics you wanted to buy when Xur showed up. They weren’t as commonly seen as they are in D2, and their actual “exoticness” was more heavily present.
