Xur as he has always existed needs to end. He needs to be changed. The way I see it buying an exotic from Xur is just about the least interesting way to acquire them. I personally have never felt any exotic I just "bought from Xur to be a very memorable acquisition. Xur should instead be used for alternate ways to acquire exotics. Xur should instead become a bounty vendor. In exchange for resources you gain for playing like legendary shards you can accept bounties. Except the bounties are different. These bounties are similar to Spider's except instead of hunting down a single target you could be tasked with just about anything. Tasks as mysterious as Xur himself. Perhaps finding some out of the way area of a map "over looking a sea of tears" or dancing on the grave of "a big guy" or sending an enemy to his doom while "punching mad". What do these things mean? It would be up to the community to decipher the message of each of the 10 bounties each week. Each week offers 10 completely new tasks for the community to ferret out the secrets of using hints from the lore and experimentation. Some will be relatively easy to figure out. Some will be relatively difficult, nothing that can't be completed with a team of 3 from LFG and Mics, not raid hard. The hard part would be figuring out what Xur wants. That would be up to the community to figure it out. This accomplishes two things. It adds a veil of mystery to the old areas of the game no one might necessarily want to visit, keeping the content relevant as the game goes on and keeps getting updated and it allows you to gain exotics through its reward system. Completing the bounties will reward you with 1-3 Three of Coins. These will be used exactly as they have always been used. But completing the hardest bounty will reward you with a "Tincture of the Nine" drinking it will work similar to Queens Foil. But will allow you to visit the Nine's shadowy realm if you can find a portal on any of the maps that exist beyond the reef, like the moons of Saturn or Nessus, or even the reef itself. Crossing into this mysterious portal will allow you to meet with one of the 9 after finishing a little puzzle, a different one for each member. Talking to the Nine member will give you a lore triumph about said character and an exotic item you do not currently own. This I feel would be much much more satisfying than simply buying them from Xur, get the community working together to solve each riddle, hunting down Tincture Portals, exploring older planets and activities with more depth and actually having a roadmap to the exotic items they want. Exotics can also drop like normal as well. But this system will give players a way to EARN them and learn more about the Destiny Universe.
