You didn't really offer any proof that Xur is not RNG. If it really is RNG, than things can come up multiple times in a row. There really aren't that many exotics, so they could come up multiple times in a row.
Now selling all Dark Below exotics is better proof that Xur is not RNG. I believe this is the third time that he has sold only Dark Below exotics.
Edit: You guys realize I agree that it appears not to be RNG. I disagree with your proof and presented what I think is better proof.
Take a 20 sided die, roll it 20 times and keep track of the numbers that come up each time. It is very possible that numbers will cluster for a bit then go away. It is very possible that after 20 weeks a certain number didn't come up. How many different Warlock pieces are there? We aren't talking large numbers.
Now what are the odds that on three separate weeks all items sold were expansion items. These odds are of this happening are much more unlikely than a certain item never appearing, or one item appearing 4 times.
I agree with you, I just don't like your proof.

The point u r missing is that this exact set a few weeks ago, I remember because it was his first time selling any of these items. The engram, the weapon, the armor, all the -blam!-ing same literally a few weeks ago. I wish people would stfu with that RNG nonsense now

Yes, things can come up multiple times in a row with RNG. For example if certain items were weighted significantly higher then others then it would only make sense that they keep on coming up. But look at the distribution of points. Yes, it is a small data set. But look at the clustering. See how items (such as Sunbreakers) come up in a tight cluster then just disappear as if by magic. There was a 10 week spread where Voidfang Vestments came up 7 times. The clustering and very high rates of repeats lead me to believe that either 1: the RNG used is garbage and sticks constantly and horribly, 2: That Xur operates on a weighted scale, and that whose weights have been adjusted since launch, or 3: BUNGiE is just messing with all Warlocks.
