No one single handedly destroys weapons like Xur.
1. Amazingly Rare Exotics instantly become common because of their super cheap prices.
2. Weapon nerfing is based on "How Common A Weapon is Used" and once Xur sold the Suros, now everyones got it. "Too many people using same weapon which was not intended." Boom the nerf gun comes out.
3. Icebreaker was considered to be the goal for most of us for end game. A goal to look forward to and pray for drop, then BAM everyones got it now. Im still waiting for that guns nerf.
I pray that Patience and Time doesnt ever reach his offers. At least I still have that goal left. If it ever does, may god have mercy on our souls when playing large cruicible maps.

"No one destroys weapons like Xur" my buddy The Cryptarch might be feeling generous now but after stockpiling engrams of primary special and heavy weapon for nearly a month and giving out very little glimmer and barely any motes of light in exchange for most of them, I'd say he has the title. Also I'm not positive but it seems like Xur would have a limited pool of exotics to offer so I doubt he will rotate through all of the exotics. If he is able to, then we should start complaining. Also suros didn't cause the Nerf, that Nerf was in works after the beta, they probably were just continuing testing and seeing if players went purely for ARs or if we switched and when we didn't try decided it needed to be nerfed
