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

Wouldn't matter if they increased the price. He's been selling pretty much the same gear for weeks now. I'm just sitting on coins from strikes and engrams anyways. It's to the point where I'm spending coins on synths and telemetries. The weapons aren't a problem either since you can only equip one exotic at a time. Not like everyone is running around in pvp with Suros, Icebreakers and Truths. Xûr gives a chance for gamers who can't play all the time to be able to snag a few gems or for people who can't get lucky with drops and engrams. The problem isn't with him. It's with RNG.
