Obviously you've gotten a lot of people mad about this, but to be fair, no weapon in the game besides raid weapons are all that hard to get and even then not that hard. There are other ways to show off your pride, such as shaders, class items and emblems. Being a hipster and getting mad that everyone can buy a weapon you already have will get you no where. Ps, if everyone has gally, your raid will be easier so maybe try acting thankful.

Without Xur Destiny had lost much more players than already has. Xur helped keeping Destiny alive, no doubt about it.

I think that xur should stay there is still a fine line between bounty/raid exotics and xur exotics. I do see your point and rng likes me but it doesn't lIke most people so xur is necessary. So go around flashing your bounty exotics and not your gally bounty exotics are still the same and still hard to get.

[quote]Xur. Being able to buy such unique and powerful weapons from a vendor is ridiculous. I've seen a ton of ideas on ways to fix him, and I don't care how he gets fixed, I just want it fixed by the time Taken King comes out. I want to wear exotics that when people see me wearing it they say "Man.. How'd he get that? That's so rare!" And not "Man.. I hope Xur sells it this week!" Take Hawkmoon and Gjallarhorn for example. Before Gjallarhorn was sold this week, it was the most sought after and most rare weapon alongside Hawkmoon and that is due to it not being sold by Xur ever except for well two when nobody wanted an exotic heavy. Right now, 'exotic' is not a fitting term for that tier of weapons. The Taken King is a step in the right direction with quests and such to get the new exotics, but I don't want to go through getting a new exotic weapon or armor and being excited that I will be among the few to have it only to have Xur sell it that week and just be one of the millions that got it. I get that you earn strange coins and that some exotics just won't drop for you. I'm missing the Hawkmoon and the Crux, but I'd never want Xur to sell such elusive items. It takes away their rarity and it becomes just another "exotic" that everyone has. With all the steps Taken King is taking to move forward, not doing something about Xur would be 50 steps back. This is very much a shoot and loot game, and having some of the most sought after items be easily obtained through a vendor does not create epic moments at all. I, for one, do not feel like I've "Become Legend" after [i] buying[/i] an [i] exotic[/i] weapon. I hope to see this changed; it needs to happen. Edit- With all this said, I understand why the current Xur is important to people. Since RNG is cruel, is nice to have a guaranteed way of getting that one item you want. I'm not bashing people who "Xurn" I'm just saying that I think there needs to be a better system in place Edit 2- I've taken out the part about losing value in exotics when Xur sells them bc you guys are right, what does it matter? There is no trading/barter system anyways. Also, for those of you calling me elitist, I'm not being elitist. I'm not being a special snow flake or whatever. I'm literally just wanting there to be a legitimate way of earning exotics. I don't see how I'm being elitist when I said I want people to admire rare armor I have. I mean, I want to look like a badass like nobody has seen so they'll be like "wow he did a lot of crap to get that". So yeah try not throwing around terms you kids read on the internet without knowing what they mean.[/quote] Bungie needs xur because people can't beat certain raids or nightfalls. So their grind is to wait for xur to sell what they don't have. I don't need xur, haven't needed him for along time. So taking him out wouldnt effect me none.

I have now literally seen threads like this for about a year now. And yet here Destiny is, still with flaws but still a fun and beloved game with many followers and players. Many of whom have been here since before day 1. Seriously, stop complaining and enjoy the damn game.

In other words your just worried about stroking your ego.

I have over 1000 hours into this game and I have every exotic except dregs promise. There are people on my friends list with more hours and still no gjallarhorn. Stop talking about how you put the time in and earned something when all you did was get lucky. I also don't know why you want to be the only one with a good exotic. I would have loved everyone to have gjallarhorns a month or two ago since it would have made a lot of activities less stressful.

I don't agree.

The items xur sells are RNG just like weapon and armor drops in the rest of the game play. You saying that you want people going "oooo aaaaaa" at your armor is fine but you got the armor randomly like everyone else with exotic armor. Your just lucky and didn't do anything special for it.

Gjallarhorn shouldn't lose exotic status just because everyone has it. It is exotic because of the perks. C'mon, Wolf pack rounds man!

Here's a problem with your position. With the new rng drop changes, where the program algorithm is intended to give you items you haven't obtained yet, there will be fewer and fewer moments where someone says, "man, where'd he get that. That's so rare." Because as long as you play, you'll get it. Let me put it in an example, there are 3 new leg, 2 new arm, 3 new helmet, and 4 new chest exotic armor pieces (just throwing random numbers out), as long as I play events that drop exotics 12 times (and that's over 3 characters, a mere 4 times each, 4 NFs/4 srikes/4 whatever) there's a chance I'll get all 12. There may be a repeat a time or two, but even if you bump that to 16 times over 3 characters totaling 16 events, again, ain't that hard. I think Bungie made it so things aren't so hard to get and in doing so, ain't so rare either. They may keep one weapon (sleeper, for example) that isn't based on a drop but 50 parts and thus, increasing how often a player is seen with it. Point is, TTK isn't the destiny of today or the last year. Your dream of changing xur so you can feel special by being in a club of few owners is over. Destiny has changed and so has the drop rates and repetition rates. Imagine destiny is coming into the warm sun... and the snowflakes are melting.

he sold jellyhorn twice in a year. most of what he sells isn't all that great.
