Xur has been an inflammatory presence since his first appearance, selling exotic weapons for apparently too little, depreciating the "value" of these otherwise fabulously rare treasures. While Bungie has been reasonably swift to respond to other game issues, such as the cave and the DLC controversy, they've remained silent with Xur. I am here to tell you why. First and foremost all of you who claim to have "earned" your exotics need to get that idea right out of your head. You do not "earn" a Last Word by playing in the crucible. You do not "earn" an Ice Breaker by exploiting a safe spot to beat the weekly nightfall. You do not "earn" a Skull of Dire Ahamkara by decrypting an engram. [b][i]It. Is. All. Luck.[/b][/i] If it was "earning" I would have all three of those items because I've done all those things! Many times! Second of all, the currently available exotics DO NOT CONSTITUTE THE ENTIRETY OF THE GAME. It's embarrassing that people can't see that. There's datamined, cold, hard evidence on the Destiny database site. There are legendary weapons, currently unobtainable, with higher quality levels than currently available exotics. So we can only imagine what yet-to-be-released exotic gear will be like. Just wait and see. In time we will all regard the Ice Breaker and SUROS Regime as entry-level exotics when we have far better. Xur sells these items because while they may be some of the best things around [i]now[/i]... they won't be for long.
