How are you going to sell almost every exotic, rare and legendary piece of equipment in the game with random perks. That would be absurd. Good players get 5 go's at the rng slot machine for every 1 bad players get. If would be more unfair if bad players could just buy exotic weapons with currency they get for doing nothing. That wouldn't be earned.
actually they do that already....dance in a crucible match, night fall, or tiger strike and get a handicap bonus, get coins and buy a exotic from xur.....
