People say that buying from xur is not earning your item.
Those people who say this will commonly say such things as
'I earned my <insert weapon/ armour>. Every body who purchased <insert weapon/ armour> didnt earn it and are scrubs.
Let me translate this:
[i]i am aware i earned my <insert weapon/ armour> via RNG and no skill was involved but now that others got lucky on xurs RNG, i wont look so special, people wont say 'wow look he has the <insert weapon/ armour>' and i am an insecure person. Im going to the forums to let out some stream and hope i can find others in the same situation as me. But ultimately i know i didnt earn shit because its all RNG [/i]

Because ultimately this is what xur is. An RNG. Just as you received yours in a random drop, so did others, only difference is that they used coins to pick from the RNG.
You didnt earn <insert weapon/ armour> via xur or by random drops after strikes or chests.
Both are RNG. Just as you can get carried in a raid to a chest without shooting and receive <insert weapon/ armour> from xur.. You can also go to xur on a friday and receive <insert weapon/ armour> via his rng.
Facts only.
I am unbias, both are ultimately RNG

Anyone who's played an actual MMO honestly laughs at the idea of people arguing that earning a Gally after going 3-15 in crucible, or opening an exotic chest in VoG is earning anything. Nothing in this game is difficult enough to classify as earning, it's a slot machine. Which honestly is fine, this game is more Diablo then WoW anyways, from a design perspective it doesn't bother me at all, but it's funny seeing people on the forums get pissy about "earning" stuff. (It's also funny when those people call me jealous without looking at my profile)
