Is buying Exotics from Xur "Earning" them?
If you voted yes, no, or kinda, comment below why or why not it is or is not "earning". After seeing so much controversy on this subject I want to see what some people have to say, you are all entitled to your opinions so have at it Guardians!!!
-
Yes buying them is earning them. Just because you get gifted one from a nightfall or raid chest doesn't earn it anymore than if you earned the coins. Getting gifted them is much more fulfilling though.
-
1 Respuestagetting a drop is getting a drop either earned through game play, rng or bought with SC's that you earned by doing hard content of the game
-
YOU GUYS DIDNT EARN DESTINY YOU JUST BOUGHT IT OR DOWNLOADED IT YOU SCRUBS GET ON MY LEVELS YOU DOWNLOADERS ANR BUYERS smh damn scrubs Lol xD #satire #troll

5 RespuestasI don't care as long as he doesn't sell gjallarhorn
-
1 RespuestaKinda cause you earned the SC but it's not like you actually like killed idk ummm Atheon for it...
-
Yea. You got SC. You walked up to the guy. Said hey. I want (said exotic). He said ight gimme dem coins (that you earned). And yall both go separate ways lol. You earned the coins which transfer in a sense to an exotic
-
I say kinda cuz u dont earn them legit (raids, strike, etc.) but u still earn the exotic and get grimiore card
-
It's rude to make earner posts not on xurdays
-
1 RespuestaWtf no... They arent really exotic now are they?
-
Yes, you spent time on playing so you earned it! Getting annoyed by these posts ...
-
Yes it's earning it because you do the weekly heroics and earn the coins to exchange them for things you want. It's like today's currency. You work earn money and earn the stuff you have if you people say no you're just hypocrites lol.
-
1 RespuestaI voted no because it's all lucky, what he brings, if you get on to buy it, if you rng it or what. The only thing in this game you earn is your skill weapons only help so much. As they say 'ALL THE GEAR NO IDEA' Add me for regular raids and weeklys
-
You earn money to buy things, that simple.
-
I wasn't as excited as buying the IB from cut as I was getting a universal remote from my first legendary engram, or when I got another one on normal vog atheon, or when I got a ghorn from hard vog gorgon chest
-
2 RespuestasI voted no. My reason? Because NOTHING is earned in this game. Its a game, not a job. You play, you have fun, and you get random loot from random drops. Whether that's a legendary engram dropping from a level 2 enemy on patrol, or opening a chest in VOG, or using coins to buy from Xur. Its all random. (I don't know if Xur is ranndomised or are selected by Bungie but to me its random because I don't know what he will have each week.) Anyone who feels they've "earned" anything in this game has probably never worked a day in their life. My advice, get a job, get your first weeks/months wages and then you'll know a true feeling of earning.
-
Nothing is earned in Destiny. Nothing in this game is really hard and loot is always random. Or do the people who have all Crota primaries(including Necrochasm) after 2 completions really earn them? ;)
-
2 RespuestasHere's the real answer. You earn things in real life like an education, a paycheck ect. In a video game you play and have fun. Arguing about earning weapons in a game is kind of like winning the special Olympics. You may have won, but you are still retarded. Now stop the stupidity but I know you won't.
-
It's a video game. The only thing you really need to do to "earn" something is buy and play the game. Also, Deej has already said it's legit since you have to "earn" the coins.
-
4 RespuestasWhat's earning in real life?
-
You have to get strange coins for them
-
1 RespuestaYes because if you don't earn the strange coins you're not really earning anything from Xur
-
Ok so if saving strange coins to buy exotics is not "earning" then stop saving crucible and vanguard marks to buy legendary weapons and armor. If you play enough you'll get a few drops a month, maybe more if you're lucky. And don't use them to buy materials either, just go patrol and grind them out. While we're busting balls, you can also stop buying telemetries and heavy ammo and exotic engrams from Xur. .... Lol didn't think so. So stop with the Xurning isn't "earning" BS and play the way you want and we'll play how we want. It's just a game people. You're supposed to be having fun!
-
In a way yes but it's a really cheap way. The only way you really earn guns is by leveling up factions and earning marks to buy it.
-
2 RespuestasEnough of this already ffs.

Editado por Xv NiZzO vX: 2/19/2015 6:02:35 AMEven though Xur is cheap you still have to earn strange coins from nightfall or weekly's. That or get one at a time from breaking down engrams. On the flip side of the coin you can get an exotic from a legendary engram from a lvl 2 dreg or you can complete raids or strikes for a better chance at them. Even exotic bounties you complete tasks for a certainty of obtaining that weapon. So yes everything you obtain in this game you technically earn. It's just that some items you will get were more easily obtained than others because of sheer luck. It's RNG baby. It's all luck.

who gives a shit lets move on from this topic already.
