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. :)

I played the heroic on my Hunter and Titan to get the last eleven coins! It was nerve wrecking because it took forever at a certain part, but I didn't have to keep the time in mind!

[b]Scrub ass couldn't get it the legit way couldn't ya?[/b]

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡ °)

It took me three hours of ROC strikes to obtain one Strange Coin for the Red Death. ONE. FREAKING. STRANGE. COIN.
-
Had a similar situation with myself, except I had 21 strange coins and I simply could not get the last two. Then I had to leave to a family reunion, which was going to last the rest of the day, so I began to give up hope on having my Red Death, but my awesome friend decided to help me, and gridned Roc on my profile until I got the SC. Eventually, he did it, and I couldn't have been more grateful. :)

Just wish I could xurn that horn now. Day 1 player 1000+ hours had every single exotic drop except that. It seems like no matter how much I play I'm always one step behind.
-
Ive played Destiny since 0905 gmt Friday 13th till Sunday evening upgrading red death (woop) and bad juju for iron banner and weekly reset. Knackered but satisfied
-
I've had mine since the first time he sold it. Glad it's actually of use now.
-
Good job, definitely didn't want to miss out on this one. I got my red death about 6 weeks ago, I've enjoyed it a lot. You're efforts will be well rewarded, red death is a very fun gun.
-
I bought mine too. first one after 300+ hrs of gameplay. then I did VOG later that day and got one in the gorgon chest....
-
You are a true guardian sir. Well played, you definitely earned that weapon.
-
I made a brand new character and got him to lvl 20 for the weekly 1:00 pm to 6:00 am those who say ur a scrub for xurning we worked for it you got lucky. [spoiler]You RNG Scrub[/spoiler]
-
Now that's defiantly earning it
-
Oh, come ON, I thought we were done with these posts after the first two days. We don't need any more "Earned vs Xûrned" posts.
-
-
Thank you for posting, you 100% earned it and those people hating on xurners personally owe you an apology, as they've never "earned" anything they have like you did.

Edited by Mark_Madton2: 3/15/2015 10:59:03 PMEVERYBODY GATHER AROUND PLEASE AND LISTEN: THIS MAN WE HAVE HERE IS A HERO, AN EXAMPLE TO US ALL. A MAN DEDICATED TO HIS GOALS AND ONE THAT SHOULD INSPIRE US ALL. AN EXAMPLE OF HARD WORK BEING PAID OFF. THIS MAN TOTALLY DESERVED AND EARNED HIS RED DEATH. There you go mate, now everyone knows what you are. A true weapon of the light. A true guardian of the City. A man which has deserved my respect.
-
You certainly earned it. Congrats and enjoy. I am waiting for him to sell the Gjallarhorn for 100 strange coins (almost 1400hrs and I still haven't "earned" it).
-
Good job! You definitely worked for that thing. Congrats on being able to get it on time!
-
Noce bro! Lots of work you definitely earned it!
-
While I sit here with 100+ coins all the time...
-
-
Insert rant from someone who rng'ed all their weapons flaming people for buying stuff from xur.
-
You are the only person I know of that really earned your red death.
