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'.

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!

Lucky I only missed the ghalahorn

I don't see why it matters really.. If it pops skulls then you're doing it right! :D
-
I agree 100%
-
I might cry a tad because I didn't have enough coins to buy gallahorn when it was in shop :(
-
Thank you I completely agree with you Sure they could have sold ice breaker for a little more but what's done is done Just because everyone else got there icebreaker from a drop and I bought mine from Xür doesn't make it any better it's still the same gun so everyone needs to get over themselves and just play the game
-
Lol at whiners yall stay bitching about "earning" when it's luck you idiots so quit complaining about oh xur shouldn't sell guns man you need a girl and a job and life time for change virgins now stfu and quit living life on the companion bitching about exotics ! Like I said thank god for xur
-
I call it "who gives a shit". Just play the game and have fun.

1 RespuestaAnyone who says finding a drop is somehow "better" than finding enough strange coins is delusional at best. So many fragile egos desperately searching for some rationalization that makes them feel better than someone else... in their heads... Man I am glad my self worth is not wrapped up in the color of my gun in a video game... #lol #thissongisforyou
-
i think im going to cry pout and boohoo like everyone else lmao...personally congrats to you man, thats awesome, unlike most of the people who have posted to this thread im not going to cry like a little baby because you have more better weapons then i do lmao, in the end you earned everything you got...because no one gave it to you lol

39 RespuestasI get 27 strange coins a week simply by transferring gear to my alts and running the weekly which is so easy it's -blam!-ing boring. that's not earning anything. that plus drops I average 40 a week. sorry brah but strange coins aren't earning jack shit lol food stamps of destiny
-
2 RespuestasThought it was serious till I saw 17 strange coins to buy them. 23 per weapon am I right or wrong?
-
Earn that gear with rng
-
I wouldn't even care at all because I also earned my strange coins and bought those weapons, except for the fact that I have never gotten anything from the VOG except for a Red Death drop off Aethon and guaranteed shader, and to that end I say I fully understand the moot point that everyone has focused themselves on about drops versus bought and where everyone needs to redirect their anger within the current loot debacle. Who cannot complain, Those that got the drops from random trash mobs, strikes or pvp rounds, may have farmed their way to success as much as the next guy who bought it, so way to go you all earned an exotic/legendary. Those who can complain, Everyone who has been rewarded for doing the raid with a second <insert exotic that has been reduced to shards> and only shards from every loot source in the raid. So the problem as I see it with the current loot system is that currently pvp should have a reward system based on match rank with similar rewards to tiger strikes(just a patchwork fix nothing to do with the other balancing issues ironbanner or not) and that the Raid should give you at least a roll on solely exotics or legendary raid gear/weapons not including shards/energy in the roll from at least one boss.

I would of bought all of those if I were a higher lvl then

4 RespuestasEditado por Legion 87: 10/11/2014 3:26:45 PMHonestly the only people imo that "earn" their gear are the ones who grind for days to get their rep up or those who completed exotic quest. Everyone else just got lucky..

Nice! :o

2 RespuestasI will exact myself with the power of Odin, find out where you are and smite you down. I smite you with the utmost fury and power. I will get my vengeance and when I do I will string your body and head around Valhalla for my minions to see. Then I will wear your clothes as I have earned them.
