Story Time:
I was in Crota like normal. It was HM, and everything was flowing like beer out of a tap. It was the 3rd sword, and he just enraged. Our sword guy got him to just a sliver before he got up. Then a boomer got him.
With a sliver of health, oversoul looming, and no sword guy, it looked like a wipe. Shoutout to the rocket guys for still shooting him. I, as the only 31 in the group, jumped, bladedanced to mid where Crota was downed. As the screen went dark from oversoul, I held X like my life depended on it. I grabbed sword, somehow still in bladedancer mode, and did a slam to end him.
At that moment, I also died, but Crota went down with me. My teammates were frustrated, but were then suddenly confused as they all sat dead. One guy started talking, he saw my dead ghost near Crota, and asked me what happened. I told them my clutch and I was congratulated by everyone in the party.
And if your still reading, I got Patience and Time for my efforts.
[b]TL;DR[/b]Our sword guy died, and I jumped to the sword and killed Crota the moment the oversoul killed us(HM enrage one) and got Patience and Time.
Did I truly earn this? I think I did, but what about you.
[spoiler]Inb4 someone says it's impossible to earn something in this game.[/spoiler]
So the Verdict is Found: I guess I [b]Deserved[/b] the exotic. Not earned. Thanks for all the replies.

Bump for lolz

Well good job for the save but no you didnt earn it. It was a random reward. No matter if you put forth more effort had better kd ratio etc you didnt earn it. Random rewards man.
-
For killing crota and saving the run you deserve it
-
I xurned all my exotics😉
-
-
Even if you were the guy that died, you deserved it. Even if you were shooting rockets, you deserved it.
-
I ran a group of randoms through vault for the first time when it was only my second and had to learn how to do relic. Took 3 hours but they learned quickly. I got gjallarhorn. Did I earn it?
-
You are the real MVP
-
Again... Video or it didn't happen
-
You played the game? If yes, then you earned it.
-
No. To earn something you must know what it is you're working for first.
-
Video or it didn't happen
-
Totally. We need fast thinkers like you

Edited by Somerandomguy30: 3/30/2015 12:30:29 AMPatience & Time + Arc Burn= God You definitely deserved that, but as said before, nothing is truly earned in Destiny

You didn't [b] earn[/b] it, but you [b] deserve[/b] it

In my opinion, you earned everything you get in the game. A.) If I soloed a nightfall and got Red death, I deserved it B.)If I buy Red Death from Xur with the strange coins I saved up I deserved it. However the debate lies in who earned it more...well in this case person A.) deserved it more than person be for the sole reason that the activity he completed to get red death is a lot harder than buying one from Xur. But then again.... A.) if I got my Gjallahorn from a legendary engram I got while patrolling I deserved it B.) if I buy my Gjallahorn from Xur next week I deserved it Person B.) earned his more than person A.) So in the Earned vs Xurned debate, it really just depends on how you got it from RNG. These are just my opinions.

That's an ironic exotic to get for this
-
You sir are clutch.
-
No one earns anything in destiny other than vanguard gear they buy with marks.
-
Well deserved Like for me, first time I was swordbearer, took him down in 2 swords, 2 hits one down and 5 hits the second time and he died, no wipes or anything, finally got my black hammer from that
-
When you work a full time job and are paid with an exotic.... You earned it.
-
I think I earned my heart of the praxic fire because I saved up the motes for 4 months waiting for xur to sell chest engram then he did I bought 4 abd got it it was the only objective in my eyes and then he sells it two weeks later mines better stat wise tho. Did I earn it?
-
You definitely earned it. You clutched the game and by the blessing of RNGesus you got an exotic sniper.
-
theres no possible way to earn a exotic with the people on this forum or community
-
What if swordbearer never died? You still would've gotten the gun...
-
The only earned Exotics are the Exotic Bounty ones.
