The ability to vault strange coins should be patched out and gear should be bound to character upon equip because people are exploiting the ability to create 3 characters of the same class and share the gear and coins among them thereby allowing them to gain more coins than designed for use with Xur and allowing them to grind for the raid 3x as much. This is an exploit. Just like the cave. Just like pushing Atheon off the cliff. They must be punished. Bungie make it so.
EDIT: LOL the amount of hate is delicious. I'm wondering how many of you complaining are people who bitch about how Xur is ruining your precious exotics yet farm like this for strange coins. Hypocrits!
2nd EDIT: I like a posters suggestion to make Strange Coins bound to the character they were earned on. This would easily solve half the issue. The other half addressing people who are doing the raid to increase their RNGesus attempts could be likely fixed with some tweaks to the rewards. Such as guaranteeing at least a minimum reward of something decent and worth their time. It seems that people feel entitled to this method because of Bungie's lackluster loot mechanics. Also, another suggestion to allow the other two character slots to be filled with only the two other classes the person doesn't already have would be nice as well.

I only have two titans bc of raid n once I have helmet n gloves ill delete one and restart hunter but take him slow bc yeah my Titan got a lot of warlock gear on drops so that I had full legendary and exotic to equip but leveling takes a bit lol. But prolly hold off on hunter till after I see my luck with Crotas end.

Was reading until I read "exploit?" Hey smarty pants if you have 3 toons you need 3x more gear and 3x more everything.. But go on genius.. your just jealous. I can't stand nerf callers.
-
Who cares what they do.. They're putting in the time to get those rewards so let them have it
-
Not only do I disagree, I also believe ALL forms of faction rep and currency should be shared amongst your chars. The currency caps also need to be raised(significantly) or eliminated. The vendors also need to accept both forms of marks or a mark exchange needs to be implemented. I would even go so far as to take a full rep reset across the board to have these changes made.

First of all, you're an idiot, if I want something for another class I don't need to vault my coins to buy it. -blam!-ing idiot, do you not think a smart person would say for example lock warlock items if you're not a warlock from Xur and also lock vaults. What's the point of stopping me from putting coins in my vault if I can still buy whatever I want on my main? -blam!-ing idiot that's all I have to say.
-
Overall it wouldn't change anything you still net the same amount of coins over a three week period so it's not really an exploit

Edited by Hypnos: 11/5/2014 10:41:38 PMI see your points and they're valid, but maybe the game mechanics are already well too established? It's been what like two months or so? Imagine the player uproar, then again it still might be early. The majority of players might have already farmed whatever they wanted, so yeah it might not be that bad. What about those people still struggling since day one though? I'd be angry or annoyed to learn that one of those routes to get gear would go bye bye. Also, this exploit if it is even that, is not as bad as the loot cave, you still have to work to earn strange coins and gear regardless. I think it could go one of two ways, either anger the game community, God knows we don't need anymore of that or it will be a quick implementation that will go smoothly and that will be the end of it. Will it happen? I highly doubt it. Valid points though and sorry if I might offend you somehow, this wasn't my purpose, just my thoughts on the subject.

5 RepliesWhat other MMO has ever made it so you couldn't have multiple characters run through a raid?
-
Your poll and feedback are going decidedly against you.
-
3 RepliesMan, it kills me the lengths that people like you will go just to rain on someone else's parade. They're obviously doing more work than you, so why shouldn't they have the opportunity to reap more rewards based on their work? Get yourself together; Don't hate.
-
Why would they do that??? Oh wait cuz you chose to make one character instead of two or three. It took maybe a week to get my other two characters to 20...I had gear for my hunter that I had gotten from my warlock(main) that instantly put him at 23-24 upgraded now and he's 27 soon to be 28 They want you to have multiple characters cuz the engrams give a chance for gear for the other characters

What is the point of doing this?

8 Replies"Boo-hoo, people with more free time than me are advancing through the game faster. Bungie, squish them with the nerf-hammer." Seriously? GTFO. Make threads about shit that is important. Like fixing the ability to push the Templar off without ever breaking his shield. There are more critical issues than people having a rough time with drop rates and trying to get to light level 30 faster.

Yawn....

I get excited everytime I get a loot drop. Lackluster would be always getting a legendary or exotic. You sir are obviously Trolling. If you are serious god help us all!!
-
Why do you say the vault and gear sharing is not how it was designed? It is so blatantly the way the game was designed. Play the game the way you want to play. Ive been grinding hard since drop and I only have one full raid set. I think I will just barely have all 3 classes at lv30 by the time the DLC comes out. How can you possibly think that weapon and armor sharing was not the way the game was designed??
-
Why hate on vaulting strange coins? It's helpful. If there was a patch for it then let us do the weekly for 9 coins as many times as we want, that's the only way I'll take the patch :-)
-
1 ReplyStill not sure why this is a problem? Would you mind clarifying why if somebody to the time to make 3 characters and transfer coins and ascendant materials hinders your experience playing this game?
-
OP. Your own poll shows that the Community disagrees with you by more than a multiplier of 10. It might be time for you to let this argument go, or to reassess what is "cheating".

3 RepliesYou have 1 character and not even 1800 score, your opinion about "the flawed system" is not worthy of any ones interest.
-
So umm... why does it matter? If someone wants to waste all the hours of 3 character on the same class that's their choice. I don't because I think it's a waste of the other two slots for the sake of one. But seriously who cares?
-
I don't see how it's an exploit. I have one of all 3 classes but if I do the weekly 3 times I should be allowed to swap the coins to one character. I did the work for them so I should be allowed to do what I want with them
-
I actually thought the coins were bound......thanks for the revelation! Now I can pool them together and buy many, many, many things. I have like a combined 400 strange coins!
-
Bungie and activision exploits our wallets with this game, why not exploit the game? If you have enough free time to build up 3 of the same class characters have at it.
