I started with 12 strange coins today at 1:46pm (EST). I checked what Xur had and saw Red Death for 23 Strange Coins... So I started ROCin it and just barely got them all in time. At 3:34am (EST) I was able to get Red Death... Yes I ROCed it for almost 14 hours to get the coins to add an exotic I don't have in my collection... So freakin Destinyed out right now, but very pleased with my new acquisition. Yes, I bought it from Xur but I freakin earned that d@mn exotic too. Now I'm gonna pass out cause my eyes are killing me..
Edit: my lazy @$$ just woke up a little while ago and my Android had a bunch of likes and replies... Tried to reply to all of them just now... Thanks for all the great feedback... Only a few negy bettys out there. Feels good to have an arena where people can understand what it means to truly grind for something, especially in a video game...
Edit # 2... With all the great responses it made me realize what really matters, what I truly gained from ROCin such a grind... Not Red Death, but all the great players out there who I was able to ROC with. We had some great strikes and even though we were all mostly veteran guardians, we also had some frustrating ones. Some Guardians stuck with me for many strikes b4 they signed off and wished me luck and I made several new gaming friends. I think the Destiny Community is one of the best I've ever been a part of. Thank you to the guardians that ROCed it with me, even the ones that had to bail for whatever reason, and thank you for all the positive posts. :)

Good job man. Glad you got it. Now that's what I call "earning". Don't let any elitist scrub tell you differently.

Lol who necrobumped this?

You could've made a 2nd titan and power leveled him to 20 in about 6 hours instead..

Congrats! That's some dedication. I thought I was crazy by power leveling my hunter from 15 to 20, equipping my legendary & exotic gear and doing the weekly again for more strange coins. Good job!

I'm impressed. It's heartwarming to see someone with such commitment. You should be very proud of your hard work. Any team would be lucky to have someone with such dedication playing with them. Congratulations. ~Fox.

You Xurned your Red Death far more than I did. I just purchased it straight away with my surplus of coins. 14 hours. Congratulations. Just laugh in the face and "fart in the general direction" of any scrubs that try to tell you otherwise.
