[b][u]EDIT:[/u] I am in no way saying your exotics are less valid or more valid than anyone else's. This post is simply a comment on those who are crying out for the removal of Xur from the game.[/b]
[b][u]EDIT 2:[/u] [/b] Read the damn post before you reply. Some nincompoops are just posting the most idiotic comments, clearly not having read the post. It's sad that it's 2014, and the world has more information than ever at its fingertips, yet I get responses to this that are so incredibly ignorant of everything I've written here, yet still want to add their drivel.
EDIT 3: Deleted, because this community is full of people that can't have a civil chat. Less than a dozen cogent, adult responses out of about 500 replies. Nice job.

6 답변With that logic, you didn't earn those strange coins to buy from xur, you got them from random drops from encrypted engrams and such. Next.

1 답변It doesn't matter how someone won the lottery, or bought an exotic from Xur, all that matters is that they have it. Saying that someone "earned" or "did not earn" something has no effect on the fact that they have it, and can do with it whatever they please. Earning or not earning in Destiny doesn't change ownership.

I had to play the game enough to earn the currency that Xur sells items for, so that would mean I earned that gear. The same way someone just plays the game to farm a spot and the gear drops, they earned that gear. Any time you have invested into this game, means you earned anything you acquired.
-
2 답변Maybe the only people who really earned the exotics are only those who bought the game with their own money? Why not expanding that utterly useless discussion into a new dimension and telling every player who has got destiny as a present or paid it with pocket money from their parents that they do not earn any gear at all in this game but the person who paid? Drink a glass of water and get over it. Nobody earns anything. Everybody earns everything.

Technically the only Xur currency you can earn is Motes of Light. Strange Coins are also a slave to the RNG, excluding the weekly heroic. So a more apt analogy would be one person finds a winning lotto ticket, while the other works 5 days a week, gets paid for 3 and sometimes finds winning $5 scratchies in the final two days of work.

I agree 100% with this. The only two exotics I have I bought from xur. I have over 6 days of gameplay time logged 6 days 8 hours according to this app. I haven't been lucky enough to get exotic engrams or drops. Got plenty of legendary stuff though. So to me xur makes it worth it because I definitely earned my coins and motes of light. I bought my helm and red death from xur. Haven't even bought an engram from him. I like the speakers Titan marks better. So with my play time and events completed I believe I've earned the right to buy from xur.

1 답변[quote]Let's have an analogy, shall we? Say you go to the store and buy yourself a lottery ticket, and win. Good for you! Congrats on lucking out there, but you're an wrong to say you "earned it". This is totally random, and nothing you did made it so you got this fortune instead of some other lottery player. Now say you get a job, go to work, and get a paycheck. You're an idiot if you say this person didn't earn their money. They can spend that money however they want, because it's theirs - they earned it. Now, somehow, in Destiny, this same logic doesn't apply in some folks' minds, and they see Xur as the bane of their fun in space because he lets people buy exotics. If you get lucky from RNG (read: win the lottery), congrats! I'm genuinely happy for people when they get awesome drops. But this doesn't mean you earned anything. I didn't "earn" my Monte Carlo - it just dropped from this week's Nightfall for me. I did, on the other hand, earn my Thorn, SUROS, Ice Breaker, etc. The complete inversion of some people's logic is simply asinine and not logical at all. Now let's see how frothy the "elite" players get over this, or perhaps, just maybe, they can have a civil discussion. Maybe.[/quote]it"a choice,What's wrong with that?Maybe some can't play but a few hours a week. I don't see a problem with it.

1 답변Your analogy using a lottery ticket is flawed. In order to buy the lottery ticket you need special currency, not just regular cash. The special currency must be earned by doing many activities in the game.

작성자: doublesit 10/13/2014 9:51:04 AMthe only thing i know for sure is that i earned the money to buy this game by myself; the rest is just uninteresting at least ... so going trough vanguard rep just to buy from their vendor is as earned as doing getting strange coins or motes of light or loot drop or raid ... it is part of this game ...
-
pretty much. strange coins, marks, etc is really the only thing you can 'earn' in the game. Everything else is randomized and you may be a superior player (see:crucible) but get nothing while a terrible player gets goodies.

2 답변Just my two cents here. If you're lucky enough to have received an exotic as a drop, you overcame an extremely low likelihood of that drop to do so. The equivalent, you'd say, of winning the lottery. If you received your exotic from an exotic bounty, you've effectively just won the lottery AND had to win a triathalon in order to claim your winnings. If you pick up your exotic from Xur, you've done little more than exchanged a handful of easily gained trinkets... Manhattan for a bag of beans. Let's face it... Xur's prices are ridiculously small, and strange coins practically fall out of the sky in this game. You have merely to play a few hours and you'll have enough for any exotic he has in stock. Sorry. Winning the lottery is hard. Winning the lottery and running a triathalon is harder. Xur is a joke. I don't mind that they sell exotics at a vendor, but please at least increase the cost so people actually have to work for them.

Also strange coins are pretty hard to get, considering that nightfall seems to compare 10 to legendaries and exotics. Exotic bounties are undeniably earning, but I would argue that the Nightfall is kind of expected to drop an exotic eventually. But one nightfall a week vs 3 heroics a week, i think it's kinda fair.
