New Exotic Weapons?
It’s a lvl 80 instance, so it’s appropriate that they, at the minimum, reward lvl 80 gear. Lvl 80 exotic gear is still appropriate, and can be used to complete all content currently. Ascended weapon improvements are neglible and for those who min/max.
What’s the alternative? Give everyone who completes it (and since it’s LS, it most likely will be very easy) an ascended weapon? Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of ascended crafting?
Quite simply, if you don’t like it or don’t want to use it, then don’t worry about it.

I don’t think everyone should be given an ascended by a long shot, I’m not looking for free giveaways. I’m just curious why they’re pushing the exotic when it’s becoming more and more outdated. I mean I “could” do most of the content on rares if I wanted to, if the rest of my build was set up right, but I never see them pushing those.
Perhaps they are not actually pushing the exotics. maybe more so the fact its a new skin. i know one of my guildies has 4 ascended now but none of them with its proper ascended skin.

Who cares about exotics anymore?
Well let’s see. The amount of people who actually have ascended weapons represent a small portion of the tip of the iceberg. Of the others, only a portion has the intention of gaining them.
I would say that leaves quite a considerate amount of players who still enjoy getting an exotic weapon on their character. Call them casuals.
I am also on the mindset that it is more about the skin than about stats, remember ascended weapons are supposed to remain account bound, so if they want skins to be able to be sold on trading post exotic is the go to rarity for several reasons.
One it is is not a skin item so a transmutation stone is needed, and two being an exotic with actual stats it will probably retain its value longer on the trading post than a skin would especially since everything points to this being permanent content. Also for those who like lottery it will in time when all other value is removed work as precursor fodder for the forge (hopefully by that time we have precursor crafting, but if not…)

Most don’t consider ascended weapons worth the trouble to make… i dont see the point in it myself except for high end fractals, which i seldom do above 40 anyway

I care. I can sell them for their skins, use the gold to buy cheaper exotic ones and salvage them for Globs of Dark Matter, used to make ascended weapons.
