Hey Bungie,
I'm traveling this weekend for a memorial service, and I won't be around to spend strange coins with Xur, so I'm really hoping that nothing awesome comes up for sale (like Gjallarhorn). Not that I want to deprive my fellow Guardians of awesomeness, I just don't want to miss out since I'll be halfway across the country with no access to an Xbox. I can't imagine I'm the only person to be in this kind of situation though, so I'd like to suggest that Bungie builds in the ability to makes purchases from Tower vendors (including Xur) into the mobile Destiny app.
For example, I pick my Guardian and can only spend whatever marks/commendations he or she has in their inventory. I pick the vendor from the Tower Map, and can peruse their inventory from there. The purchase is completed and the item is sent to the mailbox of the Guardian that made the purchase.
This would still require the Guardian to head to the Tower to pick it up, but would allow players some more flexibility as to when/how they purchase things, and would eliminate any player anxiety over "missing out" on stuff when they are forced to be away from the game.
Thanks once again for a great game, and I hope that you guys continue to listen to player feedback about this kind of stuff.

I'm curious what the community thinks of this idea. Do you think it could work?
