I appreciate your effort here, but the thing is that this debate is not really going at it from the right angle. Bungie has said that at some point they expect everybody to have all exotics. I have read that statement several times. People who complain that some weapons need to be rare or earned just did not have enough prior knowledge before going into this topic. You have no right to claim a weapon as rare or having to be earned. Xur is in the game from the beginning he is a gameplay mechanic that was released with the game you bought. Argueing or trying to justify him does not make any sense because a mechanic that exists in the game is nothing people need to justify themselves for using. The fact of the matter is, that all the elitists and earnist UNJUSTIFIABLY claim that you have to get the exotics the way that THEY prefer, even though they came AFTER Xur. Meaning this whole debate is complete BS.
