I truly believe that Xur saved Destiny from declining numbers yesterday.
I personally was done with Destiny (until the DLC in Dec) until I heard that Xur was selling TLW. I hopped on, immediately bought it, and haven't had this much fun with Destiny since launch. On top of that, a few of my friends had the same experience.
In the end, I feel that Xur selling TLW was a positive in an ocean of negatives.

25 RepliesYou think TLW being sold was random? You are the exact player base Bungie was targeting when they had Xur sell TLW yesterday and the reason for them doing that was completely predictable, thus I have no idea why people are upset. Bungie's only hope to keep players playing at this point is to get them into PvP until DLC drops. TLW was their best option for this since people will now buy TLW, level it, and jump into PvP to give it a shot (pun intended). Bungie hopes that this distraction will keep people hanging around until DLC. The only other weapon that people are begging Xur to sell is Gjalla. However, Gjalla would greatly improve people's performance in VoG (the only PvE aspect of the game keeping people around). It makes no sense for them to sell a weapon that would help people breeze through the ONLY PvE drive in the game and then stop playing after they've gotten everything they want out of VoG and thus the reason we won't be seeing that weapon from Xur until after DLC. Instead, Bungie keeps having Xur sell Suros and TLW all to get players into PvP ... the one area where repetition is expected and doesn't necessarily kill players' interest in it.

I know I did.

My brother likes hand cannons, wanted The Last Word something fierce, and only had 5 coins. After clearing the weekly on level 22 with his level 23 hunter, level 26 with his level 25 warlock, and level 28 with his level 29 titan he had enough coins to buy it. He probably would have been playing the new expansion for WoW if not for The Last Word.

Its an mmo cycle pve people take breaks while hardcore pvpers keep the game alive in between

But it might get nerfed sense everyone has it. Enjoy while it last.

Yes it made it much more exciting.

Since raid weighted rng hates me, my light level is stuck. The last word is the only thing not a raid, nightfall, and weekly that made this game worth playing. I love crucible, but the raid and bad luck frustration irks me, fifa and dragon age will be getting my time mostly now until my light goes up.

ya well i had the coins but my -blam!-ing xbox one was out for repairs and wont be back until the 8th

2 RepliesNooooo! Damn it! The first time I forgot about xur and he has the -blam!-ing Last Word! Nooooo. The only exotic gun I want in the entire game!

7 RepliesEh. For a lot of people probably. I'm still waiting on Red Death and the Skullfort. No interest in hand cannons, so I didn't buy it. This weekend was really just another big disappointment since he had nothing I was interested in. Again. And seeing everyone getting the gun they want while I'm still just over here having my hopes crushed really just kind of is slowly driving me away.

Aside from Xur, the nightfall and VoG are the only reason to login. Come to think of it. What is the point of getting all this shiny stuff? We just turn around and use it on the tired stuff we constantly complain about being tired.

1 ReplyI find it pretty funny when people get mad that Xur is selling exotics and that people are always complaining about xur. But if xur was selling something you really wanted I bet you wouldn't be mad lol smh

2 RepliesIts a pretty fun gun to have, but I retired it kinda. After all, having three of them before he sold it (ty traveler) depreciated it for meme. Plus, I gots the multi tool ;)
