I'm more surprised that the currency trade works in one direction. Yay, sure I want to waste all of my strange coin for some notes of lite, I do just want to buy engrams and HOPE I get some thing useful instead of actually buying the thing. I don't think Bungie is trolling us. I think they are making a very direct statement that Xur is meant to be a supplement not a primary vendor. We are intended to play with friends and earn all of this gear that we "need" then buy to complete our "collection". Ok back to farming caves and chests.
