Do we really earn anything in Destiny? v2

[b][i][u]For those that are too lazy to read, there is a spoiler below summarizing this post essentially.[/u][/i][/b] Why do people say you have no skill because they earned something, but you didn't for (insert reason here)? Let me list multiple instances. For instance, say you and your friend are playing a Nightfall. He gets the exotic you wanted, say Thunderlord for example. So both of you are cheering. Xûr then sells Thunderlord the day after. You decide to buy it, and he calls you a "filthy scrub" for doing so. He also goes around telling everyone you have no skill because you bought an item from xur. Technically, in Destiny when it comes to most things, you don't actually earn jack sh*t. It's all RNG. So it's just your luck you were given it, but by no means did you earn that whatsoever. Only thing you can actually "earn" for gear is Iron Banner gear and Tower Vendor gear. Besides that, it's pure RNG. And on a side note going back to the subject of Xur, they're also earning the exotics they purchased. (somewhat at least) They earned the strange coins didn't they? Also, one thing I never understood: Why does earning Iron Banner armor make you a "Fake 32?" People say "oh you're a pussy because you just got that armor so that you don't have to earn anything from raids, because you're trash at the game and can't do raids." Like I said before, you don't earn shit from raids, it's all random drops based off RNG, not earning anything at all. Although in iron banner, the armor isn't obtained through RNG, it's obtained from ranking up in iron banner. Which if you're not the best PvP player, is very difficult. Now those are things you're earning. So wouldn't it make sense to call people who get raid armor as random drops to be fake 32's? Although, in conclusion, we shouldn't call anyone a "Fake 32", were all just obtaining our gear in different ways. Just because you got something from a raid, and someone else obtained the exact same thing by different means, does not make you better than them in any way at all. That just makes you sound like an asshole. Does anyone else agree with me on this? What do you think about this subject? Is there such thing as a fake 32? Is "xurned" an idiotic term? Does anybody even care? [b]Summary for those who are too lazy to read a couple paragraphs is in the spoiler below.[/b] [spoiler]I'll summarize it here for people who don't want to read all that I wrote. You don't earn most things in destiny, it's mainly all RNG. No such thing as a fake level 32. You don't deserve anything in the game more than anybody else. Now discuss your thoughts on all of this.[/spoiler]

  • No such thing as fake 32 I don't care how you got your exotics, you got them. Coins are easy to get, Xur may have want you want eventually and RNG is pure luck. The only exotic that you really earn in my opinion is from gun bounties. It's a straight up reward for completion of a task.

  • I would argue that with the nightfall and raids, you are earning a chance at a random 'high quality' loot roll. Therefore, one could argue that the items obtained therein were earned. But they'll only say so when they get anything good. If they get something they don't want, it's always 'stupid RNG'.

  • Does it really matter if we 'earn' anything? It's a videogame. Anything we get in it doesn't effect our real lives. So why worry about earning stuff and just enjoy the game?

    • Only Special snowflakes are Crying about Xur. And its Great when Xur Sells a weapon. I will sit With Popcorn in Front of my Computer when Xur Sells the Ghorn again. In the Raid gear and IB gear You put the Same amount of Time. Im IB to level to the Rank You need, in RAID You have to Grind for tje gear and the mats.

    • Destiny is a casino. What we earn is a chance to sit at the table and roll the dice. The only people that could even come close to be considered "earning" anything in this game are: 1.) People who grind PvP for Iron Banner gear 2.) People who buy things from Xur Everything else is a luck draw - nothing earned. Nobody who wins the lottery says "I earned my money!", they say "I won big!". Same with Destiny.

        I agree, people have this idea of "earning their loot" completely backwards. They think that playing for a long time and obtaining a weapon through RNG is somehow more "earned" than somebody who saved up the coins and BOUGHT it. I did completely crappy in a crucible match when my Gjallarhorn dropped, did I earn it? No. My friends grinded the weekly heroics and purchased Gjallarhorns with their well-deserved strange coins. Did they earn it? Hell yeah! People really need to make the distinction between luck and hard work.

          If I didn't buy from Xur, I'd have no exotics... Even raiding I only get shards and energy. Reading on down, I see my post is not entirely accurate. I got pocket infinity and super good advice from exotic bounties... But I've NEVER gotten one from RNGesus...

              I buy from Xur shamelessly... when he has something I want. I've never cared what people think. I earned evry last one of my Strange Coins. I got Gjallarhorn from a legendary engram that went exotic when I turned it in to Rahool, and I've gotten jack from nightfalls... if that doesn't help support your point I dont know what does.

              • I agree that the RNG is random and that no one earns any exotic's except for the exotic bounties. I believe player's that play the weekly heroic missions to earn strange coins and then wait for Xur to sell the item they want is more accurately "earned" then getting it as a RNG drop. A level 32 is no different than any other level 32 in my opinion. Grinding for raid armor or grinding for Iron Banner armor, it's a different grind for the same result.

                • My only argument is thorn and the other exotic weapons. Thorn's bounty is particularly difficult, but you have to work for all of them. Everything else I agree with.

                  • You can earn level 32 if you can grind the stuffing out of Iron Banner each month. Even then, it takes forever for no reason. But you're right, it makes no f u c k i n g sense why I've gotta roll the dice to see if I levelled up. If you beat the raids, you've proven your worth as a player. But no... I've gotta grind the raid to rly earn it. And then next expansion, we do it all over again. So just don't raid. The gear you get there will be made irrelevant on the next expansion. At least with Iron Banner and Factions, you can earn high level armour.

                    • The notion that it is possible to earn anything from RNG is one that can only be held by an idiot. There is no way of quantifying how to get anything from a random system, because it's -blam!-ing random. The other thing that makes me laugh is when the same people who claim to have earned what RNGesus gave them, complain when the same RNGesus gives Gjallarhorn to a "scrub".

                        • Anyone who holds any pride in their equipment should enjoy their achievement. I#m happy for you and will attain the same stuff one day somehow. Anyone who disparages another person for the way they play a game, the way it was designed is a truly crappy douche. If you care enough to get upset and do something like that then you need to step out of the game and go for a walk. Or youre a child, whichever.

                        • You can earn gear from Iron Banner by leveling, you can somehow "earn" your raid gear because you know that they should drop at some point by doing raid each week... The probability for the gear to drop seems to be still higher than the raid weapons (that's maybe just my impression). But for exotics, it is not applicable, this is just RNG at some points of the raids, nightfall, engram and Roc strikes... Or one of the Two Xurs on Friday.
