Buying an exotic engram from Xur - a bad decision

Dear Bungie, a moment ago I bought an exotic engram from Xur. I think this was the worst decision I made for a long time. By decoding the engram it turns out that it actually was an exotic gauntlet, but – surprise – not for my class. I mean as a hunter I always dreamed of a gauntlet for a titan. How stupid from me to think I get something useful from an engram I paid for. Excuse me for these sarcastic chant, but when I buy an exotic engram for 23 (!) motes of light, it should be a matter of course to get an item for my class. By playing Destiny I invest very much of my personal free time. Collecting motes of light is hard work. I think all gamers will agree by saying it would be fine to be rewarded for that. When I collect engrams in the game I NEVER got an item that was not for my class. This was the absolutely first time I got an item that was from an other class. To repeat: When I collect engrams in the game it is 100% safe that I get something for my class, but when I buy an exotic (!) engram for 23 (!) motes of light, I have to worry about that? So this leads me to one question: What’s the sense of this, Bungie? I think all gamers who love this game (like me) agree that this should be patched very soon. This is one of the most frustrating fails I have ever seen in a game.

  • Christ, you all KNOW the way engrams work by now. If you don't want to gamble, don't buy them. Bungie wants to promote replay value and incentives to play with other classes. Got an exotic Titan gauntlet? Consider building a Titan; see if you like it. If you're positive you won't, shard the gauntlets, and reap the ascendant shards and etc.. Motes of Light serve no purpose otherwise. I like that the class can be random; do I want an engram to decode into my class? Of course, but I'll also save those other legendaries and exotics for when I'm motivated to begin a new character, for whatever reason. Then I can skip the grind from 20-24(25?)ish with those characters. If I don't need them, they get sharded. Not EVERYTHING about this game is bad, and you are not entitled to a game that meets your expectations down to every minor detail. Not for $60, anyways.
