So can someone explain to me about xurning and earning? I have been playing since beta (not that it matters) so I know the game very well. I have always had this issue about xurning and earning. Usually I am quite lucky with drops and get all weapons and armor I have ever wanted (don't worry I'm not bragging). However, many complain about xurning over earning. As far as I can see they are the same thing. Earning through nightfall or strike is great...but you also earn (in some respect) the strange coins to buy the gear from xur. This is more evident now they have merged strange coin drops. Meaning xurning and earning are the same thing. The other way I see it is both xurning and earning work off of RNG. 'Earning' things through nightfall and so on is still RNG; which means your not earning at all. And xurning is still simply waiting for the gear to appear there and you rely on RNG for the strange coin drops...if you need them. This isnt a rant...but my question is...who cares whether you earn or xurn your gear? You get it through the same methods Edit: please share you opinions on this matter. I may not have made that clear enough :)
