Advantages of trading exotic pairs

Since i started trading on forex, i've never traded on exotic pairs. I noticed that most traders also don't trade them. Now, i'm trying to find out whether these pairs have any form of advantage. I need your opinion guys.

the spreads will kill ya...some have 7 pips spread, round trip is 14pips total, that's insane

Bingo, looking at Oanda now, which is normally good with spreads, providing its not news time, i see up to 22 pips spread, and thats just for a couple of the exotic pairs i see. Who wants to start out that far/deep in the hole.

Certainly I was just starting to trade so basically I don't have that much idea by which you guys were asking for.
