Oh, congratulations Christmas noobs and Bungie. Destiny is dead. I quit.
Do you know what I had to go through to get my Ice Breaker?
Firstly I had to start Crota's End. It required moving a cursor to the exact spot, not exactly easy. THEN, I had to stand on a plate for 30 seconds to form a bridge. Thirty ... three oh. Stop and count that out, it's actually a long time. Then I endured a horrifying fall into the Hell Mouth. I couldn't see the ground or sky for about 10 seconds. And then there was the hardest part.
Get ready for it.
Make sure no young ones read this, it might give em nightmares.
THEN, I had to walk to the first chest. It was pitch black. The "weight of darkness" rose to a bone chilling 5. It was as dark as the bowels of loneliness and there were thrall all around ... well, none attacked me but I COULD hear them, and they sure sound scary. After walking about 30 meters through that gauntlet of nightmarish fear, I held X for what seemed like forever for a chest to open.
Then I got - nay - EARNED - my Ice Breaker (well, my second one, I bought my first of Xur - shhhh). It was damn hard work! It was so scary I'm still seeing a therapist about it. But the main point is ... I forget, but I know Bungie ruined the game.
I quit.
Edit 1: obligatory comment about my surprise at the number of responses
Edit 2: obligatory calling attention to the fact this is thread is trending - in a somewhat vain - yet giddy - tone like I'm receiving a prestigious award and not just a video game forum (stopping just short of thanking God and everyone who supported me).
Edit 3: sudden inflated ego fuels superiority complex, morphing into faux-activism as I begin calling for people to rally, and bump so we can get Bungie to hear our voices!

Edited by Lordsa Jar-Jar: 1/17/2015 5:33:36 AMIf you got every single exotic, yes you did earn it. If you only got one or a couple, no you didn't. Simple as that. Funny how people(casuals) can't understand these things.

Lol, I "earned" mine the same way.

Did I earn my thunderlord when it dropped at the end of a crucible game? Did I really earn my mida that came from a legendary engram? I had icebreaker, since October, and I do not care at all that everyone has it. I'll keep using it, and I'll keep enjoying it just as much as I did before.

PLEASE BUMP IF YOU THINK THIS SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA!!! Bungie should make a new armor and weapon rarity, it could be called Ultra, Supreme, or just replace the rarity name with. Rarity: ???/Unkown Just to show that it's insanely uncommon, you would only be able to own 3 of these total, only one max on each character and you could never have more than one in your inventory. You could either have a weapon or armor piece but never one of each. Plus it would fill up your exotic slot, so you couldn't have Suros and a Unknown rarity weapon equipped at the same time. This would make characters determine if they wanted to focus and more perks/more effective perks, or better damage dealing/weapon abilities. Plus the only being able to own one would massively amp the rarity as you would only be able to acquire another one on the same character you would have to dismantle your Unknown rarity weapon/armor. If Deej or anyone at Bungie reads this, I remember from waaaay before even the alpha build you said you wanted players to be there own snowflake, one in a thousand. Currently that's not how the game plays, sure players may use different perks and such, but that happens in every game. You also said that you wanted to make this game so that just by looking at someone's gear, you would know what quarrels that guardian had gone through. So you could make new monthly challenges called Monthly Epic's where you are given a bounty, think kind of like an exotic bounty. This bounty would be insanely challenging and could only be completed by those who are truly dedicated to the game. However after every part of the quest you complete you will have to wait till the next morning say at 3:00 am (take into account time zones, in just giving a random time. The point is that it would have a daily cool down) You could make the bounty's say 12-16 steps long just so that those who can't start their quest at the start of the month still have a chance to try at completing this challenge. At the end of the challenge you will be given any random Unknown piece of gear. There could be about 20 different bounty quests so that not everyone is trying to complete the same bounty. And no Unknown rarity piece of gear would have a set bounty. At this rate each guardian could only acquire 12 of these pieces or gear A YEAR!!!

I think your controllers are wedged up there. Anyone who wants to cry like a bitch about it can suck a fart out of my butthole while they're checking theirs.

131 RepliesEdited by RABID_WARE_FURBY: 1/16/2015 8:11:10 PMTo all the people claiming that buying from xur is earning, keep lying to yourself if that makes you happy and feel good about yourself. Personally I really don't care if you are a xurner or an earner, but I think its ridiculous that some of you think that Xurning is "harder". It's not. If it was there wouldn't be so many of you pissing and moaning at bungie to make xur sell the gjallarhorn, there wouldn't be so many of you lining up at xur to buy the icebreaker. Buying from xur is the easy way out because its guaranteed. Oh? whats that? You earned it because you had to have two people help you through the weekly twice for coins? Wow that must be soooo hard for you to sit in a cheese spot and shoot a gun for 15 to 20 minutes. Congratulations to your monumental effort! (sarcasm). Drops are earning, RNG is earning. It's earning because its the hard way, its the uncertain way. It takes hours and hours, sometimes even days of playing the game so it hopefully pays off. Yes some people are luckier than others and get exotics right off the bat, it happens. Just like in the real world hard work and effort isn't always rewarded, something a lot of people passed over for a promotion can attest to. And for all you who are going to want to flood me with your "lottery" examples let me stop you right there and explain the fallacy in your example. A person who wins the lottery did not earn that money, in this you are right, the CEO who went to college, busted his ass, and rose to the top by being the best is the one who earned it, we agree here. Why its not the same however is the one who bought the lottery ticket spent less that 5 minutes of effort into the activity, the CEO spent YEARS of hard work into something that may not have paid off. Starting to sound familiar now? Still don't belive me? Still think that running weeklys for coins is harder and truly "earning"? Then why are you crying for Xur to sell "X" exotic? Why don't you have it already from the "pathetic, easy, RNG drop"? XD Go ahead and flood me with your hate now!

Why should what you had to do affect anyone else? Everyone deserves the ice breaker and whatever fun they want. It shouldn't be ruined by poor sports like you. I got my ice breaker in the 3rd week and I'm glad people can enjoy the gun like I have. It's people like you who ruin the community. As to everyone else... I hope you enjoy your icebreaker it's really fun to use. I hope people like this guy don't affect your opinion on the community here. Thx XD
