Strange Coins VS. Exotic Luck

You say you "earned" your exotic pixels because some random enemy just so happen to fumble it when owned them with your badassness...One time..... I say you won the random lottery that is RNG... The only people "earning" exotics are the people who play countless missions until they've gotten lucky enough to collect RNG strange coins... One exotic=1 drop. 17 strange coins=Only God knows how many drops... You can't earn 17 strange coins in one mission. However, an exotic drop may occur during your first mission... Now tell me who's earning the exotics? The lucky guy who gets the exotic after beating one mission, (that he probably piggy backed with better to win) Or the guys who's playing enough to stack his coins to purchase an exotic. Again, exotic drop=1 mission. 17 strange coins=a minimum of 17 missions...

    Funny thing about RNG, it stands for RANDOM number generator. The odds of you getting an exotic item in your first mission are pretty low. Your odds of getting a random exotic drop at all are pretty low. The odds of you earning strange coins for missions can be 100%. Theortically, I could buy an exotic by playing just a couple of nightfalls. Comparatively, most people have played probably close to, if not more than a hundred missions and have to rely entirely on luck to get an exotic via drop. I'm really not sure what your argument is here, that an infinitesimal amount of players get a lucky drop? Come on, buddy, that's how these games work. It's a game where sometimes grinding pays off more than "earning."
