Xur needs to be nurfed
It is apparent that we all know the friendly face of our weekly dealer 'Xur'. Now to be honest the idea is great, but we need to sit here and think for a minute. As well as being very helpful, he has become very iconic for new players to obtain 'easy' loot for a price of a few measly coins. Before you bombard me with hate, you should hear me out and I'm sure all the hardcore fans will agree. Xur is an amazing idea but there are flaws that need to be addressed.
1. His armour and weapons are a bit 'under priced'
2. Equipment is very easy to obtain and feels unrewarding to players who gain them the hard way
3. The chances of everyone having the item is increased to higher odds
Now I'm not saying we just whine to have it removed, that would be too easy. The real solution to this (that benefits the more deserving players) is to simply increase the purchase value by a few coins. as it stands, I believe it is 13 strange coins for 'all' armour pieces that are available to buy every single week. Weapons vary depending on if Bungie are feeling generous. To solve this problem I would say that the value needed to purchase equipment should be increased by 9 (13 strange coins > 22). The reason? well it's pretty simple. Most of the players out there know that a single lvl 28 weekly heroic mission pays out 9 strange coins upon completion. It would make sense that you should have to complete the weekly heroic strike with all three characters to obtain a sum of 27 strange coins, so that you can spend your money on 'one' item a week. Is it unfair? at first it may seem so, but as time goes on it would just drive players to work hard for their equipment. What if you can't play often? well there is another solution, if Bungie implemented another vendor that sells legendary equipment, then players who can't keep up with Xur can still buy equipment and reach level 29.
That is it for me, anyone who is confused or wants me to go into more depth, please leave a comment below and I will try my best to answer/resolve it. Have a fun day everyone

3 RepliesHighly agree with your post. Xur either needs to sell exotic engrams or sell the items for more strange coins. I easily rack up 70 coins a week. Even for people who don't play as much 13 coins are so easy to get. I don't understand why it takes way more time to get 120 vanguard marks or crucible marks AND rank 2 or 3 for LEGENDARY items yet we can get EXOTICS for wayy less work. I mean come on :/ there really does need to be a change. I bought 3 last words today like it was nothing >.> not that its an issue they just need to cost more. Primary weapons - 32-35 strange coins Special weapons/heavy weapons - 24 - 28 strange coins Armor pieces - 18 - 23 strange coins Or bounties for the 13/23 coins
