The only guns that are earned in the game are the Exotic Bounties and Xür. Yes Xür, why? Because you go on your way and play time to manage to beat the Strikes and get your coins. Those coins you earned. So technically speaking, you've earned your guns and armor from Xür. The rest that you "Found" are found, so you got lucky with a drop. The game says it; <Insert name here> FOUND <insert exotic here> Those who says they've earned their guns not from Xür are just jealous that other players have an easier time with the direct purchase from Xür. Yes, you trolls and kids with anger issues that bitch at people who buy guns from Xür, are just jealous that you got lucky yet others got easy access. God guys, it's just a game, cool the -blam!- down. Like my boyfriend got pissed when VoG dropped Universal Remote for me as my first exotic, as for him he was farming the chests cause back then there was no limit to the drops. You have no idea how happy I was when I saw Xür was selling U.R. <3 My boyfriend got his special weapon that he loves using in game :3
