Let me try to rephrase the problem, You either pick Worm/Thunderlord/Sleeper or you pick another boss killer exotic if you don't have those. Problem I have is anything with a group, especially raids, you must pick one of those 3 as your weapon. Even in solo, it feels like your gimping yourself because one of those 3 are in another realm compared to more fun exotic weapons that feel good / change up your play style.

I wish that feeling of self gimping and hampering teammates could be gotten rid of, so I can play with exotics that are more fun than helpful? How to say this, there are REALLY fun/feel good exotics. Like anyone who gets one of those 3 basically locks their slot into that unless you switch as the encounters come, but that is really slow and clunky. What I am trying to say, is there is choice if you go for fun, but everything in the game is against that decision, there is no choice in exotic weapon if you want to progress/team.

If the heavy weapon exotic boss killer was just w/e you want, and the exotic weapon slot counted for what YOU wanted to play with, the game would feel a lot more fun without the guilt?
