It needed to be said, so I'll be the one to say it, cuz IDGAF what people think. All you people crying about how you "earned" your (Insert Exotic Here) from RNG as opposed to buying it from Xur, you're all nothing but hipsters. They might as well open up a Starbucks in the Tower for you to chat about how you got the Suros Regime first over Pumpkin Spice Lattes. The Speaker will start selling Hunter ascots, Titan skinny jeans and Warlock cardigans just for your uppity asses.
Gimme a f'king break. Nobody earns anything, it's all REWARDS. Know the difference.
[i]EDIT: Top of the trending page? Nice. Means that many agree that this is ridiculous, and many others are butthurt because they've been called out. The guilty will take offense. Everyone else, have a laugh on me. See you starside, Guardians...and The Speaker now has sizes up to 4XL for you Big & Tall people.

Edited by MonkeyKaptain: 11/13/2014 6:32:02 PMThere is no "earning" per se when RNG is involved. Just because you are guaranteed 9 coins per character in weekly does not mean you are guaranteed to get the exotic you desire from Xur. There is still a lot of waiting for that potential moment that he will sell it. I have every warlock exotic, I guess I earned it. No, no I did not. Even gathering up 46 motes each week that Xur sold the exotic chest engram only to finally get Heart of Praxic Fire the third week he sold it, I still don't believe I earned Jack. RNG simply favored me that day. Nothing else is earned unless you know you are going to get it (such as exotic bounties). You either receive something or you don't receive it.
