EDIT: I fixed the thread up a bit. Came off a bit too aggressive than I intended.
I am a collector of sorts and I found that collecting these exotic weapons have a certain special place in my heart.
No, I did not "earn" these through RNG (which is not earning at all).
In fact buying these from Xur is much closer to 'earning' than getting lucky with an RNG drop from crucible after bottoming the list.
Using dozens of coins I have 'earned' from the daily story AND the weekly heroic missions is more true to earning these exotics than being the ONLY one in a raid group of 6 lucky enough to pull an exotic weapon out of VoG.
I have earned my shit through hours of playing these story missions and weekly heroic strikes.
Oh you found your Icebreaker as a drop running patrol missions on Mars? I call that LUCKY.
I bought a gun with 17 strange coins saved up after playing Heroic and the story missions when available.
I call that 'Earned'.

Wow, only three days played too, I expected close to ten, props to you!
-
3 RespuestasJeez dude. With all the Strange coins it took to get them I'd say you "earned" them fair and sqaure. Nice.
-
Same. And I got an extra Gjallahorn from an engram. So I technically I guess I did "earn" one of them :|

1 RespuestaI bought 10 of each and I'm going to give them out to level 2's in the Cosmodrome!

Good for you. If only I had that kind of playtime, I too, would be sporting a nice collection of Exotics.

1 RespuestaI want to tell you something M B I wasted you time

5 RespuestasWhy do people care so much what other people think? Instead of moaning about how other people play the game, just play it your way... These threads of keyboard warriors going on about people crying is getting really old! But yeah, I'm a collector too. :) I have: Hawkmoon, Suros, Red Death, Icebreaker, Bad Juju, Thunderlord, Invective, and just finishing up the Thorn and Pocket Infinity bounties
-
Meh, I don't care what weapons others have. I'm satisfied with thorn, red death and for gear sun breakers, Voidfang vestments, and apotheosis vail.

2 Respuestasaww man im waiting for a GJallahorn drop/sale for so long , was it before Suros ?? (which i couldnt buy cuz i lacked only 1 coin ffs)
-

6 RespuestasBest analogy for this... You earn your paycheck by working all week. Did the guy who won a million dollars by playing powerball earn that? No sir. No he did not.

4 RespuestasEditado por BlackJack070786: 10/11/2014 4:50:41 PMYep, I can honestly agree with all of what OP said. Question for OP; what is your take on the exotic bounties? I would like to see a bounty for each weapon, but only if they added some code so you wouldn't get the same bounty again if you already have the weapon. [b]Edit:[/b] I do wish that I would of had the coins for the rocket launcher. It looks nice.
-
2 RespuestasWhy would anyone cry on what you bought? If they are crying,they are just angry little kids that dont have the patiance or skill to collect the coins. Kudos to you for earning the coin to buy these exotics.
-
Only time I got lucky was when I did the nightfall and got universal remote. Everything else I got from bounties (still random, but requires earning after) and Xur.
-
This is the truth
-
The weapon I ever bothered to buy was Ice Breaker. The others never caught my eye.
-
I'm a collector as well. I try to get Exotics to fill my Grimoire.

2 RespuestasAt this point, I've managed to gather about 4 exotic weapons. The Last Word, I got from a Legendary Engram. Red Death and Icebreaker, I bought. Now, Bad JuJu I legitimately earned through hard work. Exotic bounties are not easy.. They take some effort befitting and exotic gun. I personally think that's the only real way to "earn" an exotic. I'm also working on Very Good Advice now!
