Surely you indirectly earn anything you buy from Xur seeing as you earn the currency with which to buy items? Plus I dropped in to Atheon Hard VOG the other day, spawned in to the stepping stones, fell off, the party completed without me, I got a Vex M. I literally did nothing for it (it's my 3rd VM so don't hate) On the other hand I'm approaching 1000 hours without a G-horn drop. No one can *earn* in this game
