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
