I started with 12 strange coins today at 1:46pm (EST). I checked what Xur had and saw Red Death for 23 Strange Coins... So I started ROCin it and just barely got them all in time. At 3:34am (EST) I was able to get Red Death... Yes I ROCed it for almost 14 hours to get the coins to add an exotic I don't have in my collection... So freakin Destinyed out right now, but very pleased with my new acquisition. Yes, I bought it from Xur but I freakin earned that d@mn exotic too. Now I'm gonna pass out cause my eyes are killing me..
Edit: my lazy @$$ just woke up a little while ago and my Android had a bunch of likes and replies... Tried to reply to all of them just now... Thanks for all the great feedback... Only a few negy bettys out there. Feels good to have an arena where people can understand what it means to truly grind for something, especially in a video game...
Edit # 2... With all the great responses it made me realize what really matters, what I truly gained from ROCin such a grind... Not Red Death, but all the great players out there who I was able to ROC with. We had some great strikes and even though we were all mostly veteran guardians, we also had some frustrating ones. Some Guardians stuck with me for many strikes b4 they signed off and wished me luck and I made several new gaming friends. I think the Destiny Community is one of the best I've ever been a part of. Thank you to the guardians that ROCed it with me, even the ones that had to bail for whatever reason, and thank you for all the positive posts. :)

1 RispondiNice grind, you deserve it.
-
1 RispondiWhy didn't you do weekly or have you done them?
-
1 RispondiCongratulations. If that isn't earning an exotic I don't know what is.
-
1 RispondiThat was the first exotic I got :] 'tis a beast since the buffs
-
1 RispondiA well earned gun!!
-
1 RispondiLol same thing for me except I fully leveled my second warlock and then just did the weekly with my gear from my main character and then I did a bounty, luckily leveled my vanguard, and got the last coin needed for the gun
-
1 RispondiIf that is not earned then I don't what is.
-
1 RispondiI earned my Pringles the hard way, and no one can tell me otherwise.

1 RispondiModificato da synth: 3/16/2015 3:35:40 AMDid the exact same thing had 6 strange coins saw what xur (aka dude with the hairy face) was selling the red freakin death and worked until I got 23 coins which was around 2:30
-
1 RispondiI'm pretty sure the Xur haters would feel differently if the only way to get strange coins were from blue engrams. Good job!
-
1 Rispondi__ | | | |___ | _| | _| |_____| I approve

1 RispondiGood job. I say that you definitely earned it. If grinding for something you want isn't earning it, I don't know what is. I did pretty much the same thing the second time Xur sold the Ice Breaker and I am not ashamed to admit it.
-
1 RispondiNicely done!!!! It's a very nice weapon!!!
-
1 RispondiGood effort. Get some sleep then enjoy your nice new exotic.

5 RisposteI bought my gjallah from xur ... You can imagine how much hate i earn for that xD [spoiler]still happy since week 2 :3[/spoiler]
-
3 RisposteI've gotten 4. None of them from xur
-
1 RispondiIf what you did wasn't earning it - nothing is. You busted your butt to get those coins in time. That is serious work. 14 hours lol. Anyone who says you didn't earn your RD is a - well let me quote the great Bugs Bunny they are "maroons."
-
3 Risposte3 x weekly heroic strike = 27 coins not so hard with matchmaking, just level up another 2 alt and you are good.
-
1 RispondiI was grinding on roc strikes for strange coins for the Red Death and got The Last Word. I was in tears and thanked the Destiny Gods.
-
1 RispondiJust make two other characters to get 27 SC a week doing weekly heroics on the hardest on al 3 characters.
-
2 RisposteIt must suck having a low balance of strange coins.....after buying 360 heavy ammo I still have over 150 strange coins.
-
1 RispondiNice bro. The grind is real
-
9 RisposteWhat's xurning, I'm pretty sure it's called earning.
