EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU IS AN "EARNER"!
I'm sick of seeing people saying "you didn't earn level 30 RNG noob" or "lol kid thinks he earned his ice breaker"
I'm gonna start by referring back to the definition of earn, which is my own definition but feel free to look in a dictionary if you feel I'm incorrect
Earn: A payment/reward for work
Simple. The definition never outlines that to be considered "earned" the reward needs to be a specific type or decided in a particular way.
Now I'm going to show two examples of "random" rewards, one is earned one is not.
Example 1: You kindly mow your neighbours lawn, you don't know if/what you will get in return but you do it anyway. She decides to give you 10 dollars.
You EARNED that 10 dollars.
She decides to give you 20 dollars:
You EARNED that 20 dollars.
She decides just to say thank you
You EARNED her gratitude.
Example 2: You check your lotto ticket which was given to you for your birthday to discover you have become a multi-millionaire! You have been blessed by some serious luck! But you did not earn that money.
Anyone who has half a brain can see that Destiny is much more similar to example 1. You will never login to destiny to discover you've instantly been randomly given full raid gear and a vex mythoclast. Destiny sets out different jobs for you to complete, and each of those jobs has it's own loot table. You have to go out and work for it, all the RNG system dictates is how long it takes you to earn whatever you're trying to get.
You may be able to earn it in a day.
You may have to spend months earning it..
But no matter what you WILL EARN IT.
Edit: STOP USING EXPLOITS AS A COUNTER-ARGUEMENT. I'm talking about the RNG system in the game, not cheats that were never intended to be in there.

Earned not earned. Who cares, You get gear I get gear. I play the game to get the gear, you play the game to get the gear. You don't see what goes on behind the scenes of another player.Who is anyone to judge who earned what. If you feel buying something from xur with the strange coins you earned is not worth it cause it feels like you didn't earn it then don't do it. People need to just play the damn game and stop whining. It's called congratulations you got to level 30. Not "you're 30 and I'm 29 so you didn't earn it so you're a noob" Every piece of gear anyone gets required them to perform some sort of task. The gear they got is a reward that they EARNED for completing that task. I didn't buy the game log in and it came with a full set of raid gear. Even then you would've earned the money to buy the game so if it did in a sense I would have still earned it. There is luck involved in the game but you can't just sit there and be lucky. You have to go complete a task and test your luck. This whole earning bullshit is just a bunch of people expressing their envy, and they just need to grow a pair, shut up and play.
