"Xurned." Did you make that up. Cuz that's funny.
-
YOU ARE NOW A SUNBRO! Welcome brother!

I think "xurned" is more like earning than RNG luck. You worked for currency. You used currency to get something you wanted. The goal was clear and you knew what you were getting. A pigeon with a random variable release for food doesn't "earn" the food for performing his ritual. He just got lucky that the food came out then.
-
It's alright man, everyone has "xurned" something before, and no one should really care!
-
I did not mine has different stats
-
I... Earned? Mine.. But really I don't care it's great and now more people have it. :)
-
I hate those players that have xX with something inside of it. What is the reason for this?
-
Is this still a thing among the community? ppl need to grow up.
-
You earned it just like everyone else, even if they bought it from Xur.
-
I xurned it last week, noob. [spoiler]lol people still care about earning vs xur[/spoiler]

As far as earning anything: 1. Although Strange Coins are a guarantee from weekly heroic, they are earned in the sense that a paycheck is earned for going to work, therefore you did earn them. 2. As far as purchasing items from Xûr with aforementioned Strange Coins, the purchased item is earned in the sense that a pair of new sneakers are earned when purchased, therefore they are not earned. 3. As far as decrypting an engram, that has a random drop rate, at a random location and time, with a random chance of being anything, that item is earned in the sense that finding money in the ground is earning it, therefore it isn't earned. 4. As far as decrypting an engram, with a random chance of getting a specific item, purchased from Xûr, using motes of light that truly are earned, like a paycheck is, and then getting an item that you might use, such as the Heart of the Praxic Fire chest armor in my case just last week, only to have Xûr finally sell it, with slightly better stats this week, is.... well that's just blind ironic luck.... such is my life.... My stance on this is very clear: You earn currency, you buy items or else you get lucky and are awarded them... not one single item in this game that can be purchased is actually earned. TL; DR : Strange Coins = Earned Motes of Light = Earned Commendations = Earned Exotic Engram = Purchased Heavy Synthesis = Purchased/Awarded Weapons = Purchased/Awarded Armors = Purchased/Awarded Special cases: Strangers Rifle = Awarded Murmur = Awarded Khvostov 7G-02 = Awarded

People whine that they 'earned' their exotics. And we Xurners don't count. Guess what... [quote]Surprise muthaf[b]u[/b]cka[/quote] We earned those Strange Coins just like you earned your exotics. So STFU.
-
My thoughts? Earning=Xûrning, In reality... [spoiler]Earning=Xûrning[/spoiler]
-
I earned mine too. I hate seeing scrubs with MY armor.
-
Had it since week 3-4. I couldn't care less as to how other guardians got it. I 'earned' mine by shooting level 12 dregs on Venus so I clearly deserve it more than other players.. :-/
-
Lol, scrub git gud.
-
You did a level 8 strike to get 50 coins cuz u cant do the nightfall enjoy your new item you unskilled trash
-
What's really funny is everyone is like "it's been a word since forever." No I'm a day one player this wasn't a thing until around Christmas.
-
Me too bro! High five!

Edited by sgtsagara02: 3/3/2015 6:28:06 AMI got mine from an exotic engram the previous week. Does that count as xurning?
-
Xurs first name is Barack
-
Dear everyone saying he didn't earn it: Here's an example. So he deserved a car more if he won it in a lottery, rather than saving up the money to buy it. Get rekt.
-
You didn't earn shit.
-
Good and you deserve it just as much as anyone else in the game enjoy it.
-
I think it's funny when someone says they earned the weapon from a nightfall or raid, but used coins for heavy ammo synth to do so. Xurners either way.

I XÚRNED IT AND IM PROUD SCREW YOU GUYS WHO SAID I "EARNED" IT ITS ALL RNG, HAHAHAHAHAHA
