Xur vs "Earned"
Seriously... "Earned" via an RNG system where you could AFK most a stike and randomly get your gear vs running Nightfall and weekly hard modes?
To me I think you guys who "earned" your gear don't even know the meaning

The G'horn I got from the exotic chest on VOG is way better than the one people bought from Xur.
-
We really don't need 10 of these post a week. Just stop.
-
Again with these posts?
-
Wow this is still going on? You don't earn anything in Destiny. It's a game made for toddlers.

Xur exists to smooth out randomness. The "earners" decry people buying from Xur, but forget that Xur can often bring that last piece that a dedicated player needs to complete their collection. He's a hedge against a stingy RNG system. SUROS was one weapon frequently mentioned here as the "last exotic I need" and those players definitely deserved to get it from Xur.

Found is better word. I purchased patience and time, plan c and mida multi tool the first time he sold each of those but I found the rest I have today through RNG.

5 RepliesI have a solution to this. To settle the whole "Earned vs Xurned" Bungie, lock all Exotics behind Trophy/Achievements just like you did with certain armor back in Halo. Then you can say you earned your weapon when the icon pops on screen. Just for giggles, since everyone rides the Gjallars knob so much. Only way to get it... Must get "Flawless Raider". Only way, nothing else. I think that would actually encourage more play time and add some challenges.

My god. Anyone tired of this argument?

You earn your weapons in borderlands

The only Exotics you earn are the bounty weapons. Once you rng the missive, you accomplish set goals to earn the weapon. Everything else is rng.

Edited by DOTx3: 4/25/2015 3:39:01 PMI joined a ROC strike right when the boss was killed, got 0 kills and 0 assist. The two people who did everything got rare shit, I got thunderlord and a couple engrams. I EARNED MY THUNDERLORD!!! LOL REALLY?! Stupid people I swear.
-
Lol I've had a grand total of 0 exotic drops. Every exotic I own is a bounty weapon or Xurned.
-
same sh*t... differing pile...
-
2 RepliesI earned 90% of my exotics by bying them from Xur :-)
-
OH BOY THIS TOPIC AGAIN.
-
1 ReplyI think xur is "earned" you have played The game to earn your strange coins (money) to buy your Weapon.
-
4 RepliesIf you find 20$ on the street, would you say you earned it? RNG is exactly the same way, your weapons are only a happenstance...
-
No such thing as earned in this game, an argument may be made for exotic bounties being earned
-
The people bringing up the guns like Thorn and such. TOTALLY RIGHT those are truly the only 100% through and through earned weapons. Worked my ass off for Thorn, Bad Juju, and Invective

Xurchased

1 ReplyI love these posts... watch all the xur haters (eho definately buy exotics of xur) run to him when he sells the gally, and in turn all previoua gally owners hating xur. Just cant win. Most of you complain about the RNG, then when bunjie offers a salvation. You complain!? Wheres the food!??

Edited by Ulicies: 4/25/2015 8:39:07 AMYou earn the coins to buy from Xur, or you earn the Exotic from investing time. I see no difference aside from having the foresight to buy an item from Xur if you suspect it would be worthwhile, like I did with my Gjallahorn.
-
Did I not earn the Strange Coins, which I only got by creating a strong enough character(s) to complete missions and gain via rng to get? If not, then no one earned the xp from doing missions to get to level 20, or any of the weapons or gear bought from vendors. I worked hard at my job to get money to buy my playstation, did I not earn that?

2 Repliesi "earned" my gjallarhorn after 1350 hrs of ACTIVE playtime by not running the sword at crota this time...was just hanging out at the window and shooting a rocket at a target the size of mount rushmore....while my mate opened up the exo chest in the vault of glass and get his. please note that the chekcpoint was given to him. so yeah, he also get his goods by "earning" to be honest...this entire earned/xured shit is stupid as hell..just sayin... ____________________________________________ http://destinystatus.com/psn/RyoIshido
