The massive outcry of those who owned the Icebreaker prior to Xur carrying it is just a fascinating lesson in human psychology. The argument seems to be: "Now the Christmas newbs can buy it, and that's not fair because they didn't EARN it. Now my Icebreaker is worthless because everyone else has it!"
This blows my mind for 2 reasons.
1. The Icebreaker bought from Xur is infinitely more "earned" than a drop from RNGesus, because you have to actually grind to obtain strange coins, thus truly earning the right to purchase and own the weapon.
2. I got my Icebreaker in a totally random drop, and I'm not upset that my friends can now pick one up with strange coins they saved up and earned. It only makes the game better for us all. Now we can more effectively run raids and nightfall and weeklies. The fact that anyone would be outraged over the Xur Icebreaker is a reflection of pure human greed and the obsessive need to be a special snowflake.
It's great that Xur is carrying items that are more worth buying lately. It's a heck of a lot better than seeing Sunbreakers for the 80th time, or a terrible exotic like the No Land Beyond, isn't it? RNGesus, guys!
Bump/like if you agree.

2 RepliesHappy he sold it again. Now everyone can stop crying that he will never sell it again.

Bump.

All the "Xmas noobs have a chance to buy it just like all the "game launch noobs" had a chance. RNG is RNG. whether its random find or randomly sold

1 ReplyYou are a beacon of hope to man kind. To many complains in the forums. Not fix suggestions, but real complaints. I'm glad my friends can own one as well. Good weapons equal fun game times with friends.
-
Dude, what are all these guys complaining about? If they were around when the game first started they would know that Xur sold the ice breaker the second or third week of the game's launch.
-
Well said man, well said. I never thought of the whole grinding for coins as actually "earning" the weapon, as opposed to getting a random drop.

2 RepliesI agree. My only problem is if everyone had Suros or vex in cruicible

1 ReplyHey if it helps my team do the raid and nightfall I don't care who has it.

2 RepliesXur has sold IB and Ghorn twice and the game hasn't broke yet. This game is full of drama queens. I want everyone else to have everything, it'll make pick up groups better. They'll suck in the crucible reguardless

6 RepliesIt's great that Xur sold it but should've cost 50+ strange coins
-
The thing that gets me is that those complaining about IB being sold are typically those who ask (during a raid), "do you have an Icebreaker?"
-
3 RepliesXur already sold it atleast 2-3 times.. Half of the people bought it last time crying halleluya and now they're no longer special and act butthurt.
-
Well said brother!! People are moaning to much..but they probably brought it first time he had it lol
-
Xur previously sold the ice breaker
-
2 RepliesPlus Xur sold the ice breaker week 4 of destiny being out..
-
just goes to show that you can't please everyone, assholes come in every flavor and will always find something to complain about. how does the next person buying something that you have claimed to "earned" affect you? you sound like some punk ass poser, this is coming from someone who "earned" my icebreaker.

3 RepliesEdited by Nior of the shadow gang: 1/16/2015 11:00:54 PMI Bought the game on release date I got the original IB from xur. Now just for giggles I broke down my old IB and bought the 2.0 version from xur. In short Suck it elitist pricks your kind is like a contagious cancer more so then guys who throw around the title hardcore gamer falsely

3 RepliesI think perhaps Xur should come a bit less often, thats all. Maybe every two weeks, or even once a month. This could make his gear that bit more rare among players. I think perhaps because he comes once pere week, with exotics, so many people are now gaining exotic stuff and its no longer that rare. Apart from that I dont think its a major problem and I agree with what your saying generally.

1 ReplyIt's a good thing he sold it because I've been hearing about a lot of people getting kicked from raid teams due to the reason of not owning this weapon.
-
Edited by XxFILOVIRIDAExX: 1/17/2015 3:42:29 AMFar too much whining and crying on these forums. It is a game either play it or don't. The RNG does need adjusted or modified.

Greed is good.

What's really hilarious is that... A. This isn't even the first time he's sold it and... B. You know half the people jumping on the bandwagon bought it from him the first time. They would never admit it though.
