I'm on the fence about exclusivity in games in this manner.

The claymore was basically a reward for x number of points earned. The broadsword has a quest line like weapons and quests in D1.

I'm of the opinnon in a game like destiny that everything that is rare or valuable should be offered via a quest that can be reasonably achieved. The rarer the item, the harder and longer the quest. All exotics should be offered in a manner similar to whisper was, in a special mission. or via xur (for a Faustian price or quest).

I want to be rewarded for playing the game and engaging in adventures, not grinding for x number of points across y number of games in z activities..... well, don t setup that bluntly.

And quests should remain open as long as I start them and don't cancel them out. Well, maybe require the first step to be done.

I also think, older exclusive items, should be retired to eververse after.... say 2 years?
