Here’s how it works. Upgrading exotic weapons and armor is completed by interacting with the weekend vendor, Xur. When he arrives every Friday morning, he will now have a new option to upgrade one of your equipped exotic items. Each week, he’ll offer some (but not all) exotic items as being available to upgrade.

You’ll need three things. First, you need to own the original version of that exotic item, and turn it in to exchange for the upgraded version. It doesn’t matter if this old version of the item is brand new or fully upgraded. To complete the upgrade, you’ll also need to turn in an exotic shard. This recently introduced new material is available for purchase for seven strange coins from Xur, or by breaking down another existing exotic item in your inventory. Finally, each exotic upgrade costs a hefty dose of cash – around 7000 glimmer as of my playthrough of the expansion in mid-November. After turning all three of these things into Xur, he’ll hand you a brand new version of your item with a higher defense or attack value cap.

So basically all those who have actually played the game are screwed over and those who haven't played the game get an upgrade for very cheap. I really don't know anymore. My opinions of Destiny being a 6/10 is now to a 4.5/10.

As /u/Sketchshido said on Reddit: "DLC should add to the game, not reset it."

I don't get what the big deal is. It takes you less than an hour to max out a gun and they made them waaaaaay easier to upgrade

That's way easier than using 8 ascendant energy per damage upgrade. Now all you need to upgrade exotics is a farmable material and weapon or armour parts. Then all you do is wait for Xur to show up, much easier.

To max an Exotic? It takes a shit load of items and glimmer. The average player who plays the game on weekends has been fucked It takes a full weekend to just get an exotic halfway leveled.

But you won't have any of the Upgrades available. You have to level the weapon and put the parts into it and materials again.

I level exotics just fine doing every PvE bounty and then using one of the weapon xp boosters also available from Xur. You just pop it before you hand in the bounties and it boosts all the xp from the bounties.

I think I'm gonna end up giving Destiny a 3/10 soon.

Some people don't have more than 2-5 hours a weekend to play a game. You are forgetting about a lot of people who don't have time to re-level all their weapons and throw away all the previous time they put into the game.

This wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for that goddamn 25000 glimmer limit -_-

If they make the EXP cap more like a Rare than a Legendary I won't mind but yeah, the Glimmer Limit and my lack of time to put into the game really kills it for me.

So... I guess I'm going to have to pick up after your horrendous mistakes on here too?
I had Density on 0/10 when it first came out.

Objectively the game is about a 6/10 but they are making REALLY poor decisions and it makes me sad.

Indeed.
