All i see on here are posts from people claiming they EARNED their icebreakers buying it from xur. And discounting people who got it through raids, nightfalls and so on. Let me get this straight here people, you think buying one of the two best guns in the game for 17 strange coins, which can be gotten from doing two weekly strikes on hard. TWO. 9 strange coins a piece. Your gonna sit there and say you EARNED your icebreaker. Honestly, i laugh at these people. No matter if its RNG or not. The people who have put hundreds of hours into this game, through raids, nighfalls and crucible are the ones who EARNED it. They put in the time grinded through getting rare engrams in crucible and six visions of confluences in the vault to finally see one of the best guns in the game drop. If im not mistaken the more you click on a random number generator the more likely you are to roll that number. Therefore the people who put the time in, hours and hours into the game, DESERVE and have EARNED their icebreaker. And those who have bought it from xur who claim they have earned it too because in the four or five months the game has been out they have accumulated 17 strange coins from blue engram drops in patrol, or did the weekly twice for a total of 30 minutes.
So congrats bungie, selling the best items in the game for a measly 17 strange coins?! For a lack of a better term its sad. And if gjallahorn ever goes on sale again I'll probably stop playing this game, if your idea of rewarding your most loyal players is selling their hard EARNED gear for 17 pathetic strange coins... that is all. Hope you enjoyed and looking forward to feedback. Id love to hear everyones opinions.
EDIT 1- Does anyone read posts before they comment with their stupidity? I said. Clearly. That people who put the time into this game through hours of raids and nightfalls earned their icebreakers. Not christmas noobs who get it first crucible game. Those saying you earned it because your using currency that you say you "earned" that can be accumulated with what 3 hours of gameplay? I find hilarious.
EDIT 2- wow clearly nobody has reading skills. Not once in my post did i say if your a shit player going 2-49 in crucible and get a lucky rng drop you earned it. I also didnt say that if you have hundreds of hours and you buy the gun from xur you didnt earn it. I SAID that if you are a dedicated destiny player. You have the hours put in via nightfalls, raids and so on. You EARNED your icebreaker. I really dont understand how people cannot find logic in this...
3rd and final edit- When you work at the same job for 5 years doing the same thing over and over well. Shouldn't you earn a promotion or a reward for that? When you do something good one time for an hour do you recieve a promotion or a reward for that? No, you dont. And that ladies and gentlemen is my point.
4th and maybe final edit if tards will stop commenting on this-
99% of you disagree with me. Fine i get it. You want icebreaker. I dont give a shit if you have it or not haha. I was just trying to prove a point.
That people like myself who have played since day 1 and have played the game for a good amount of time, feel shafted because obviously we are working towards getting the best gear/weapons. We feel this way because valuing one of the best weapons in the game at a measly 17 strange coins is bull. You can get 9 in one week on one character! Every week! If they are going to sell the best guns/armor why not jack it up to 60 or 80 strange coins if you want the best gear? And guess what if you dont have enough. Play the damn raids and try to get it to drop for you like the rest of us. Dont just pop destiny in for the first time and a week later you have the best gun in the game. Oooooo how fun that must be.
Whether or not you agree i dont care. But im sure there are many like myself who agree with me. Let the negative nancies continue to pour in.

Thank you, Xur. Pew Pew!

Dude it is GAME we all paid the money to buy it and we all play our own way
-
I earned it by spending about 5x as long as should have been necessary finding a group that would accept a 29, and then pulling my weight in the weekly heroic as a lvl 29.

Doesn't matter no loot is earned all luck get your egos stroked elsewhere.

1 OdpowiedźI got mine from doing VOG on hard from getting it out of a chest the day before xur came I was pissed i have 487 hours logged and I have a friend that has 129 and has vex mythoclast, two icebreakers, jellyhorn, last word, thorn, bad juju, and hawk moon. I think it's safe to say the reward system is sooo broken. Comment broken if you think I'm right.

I smell what you're stepping in bud... After countless hours and associated frustration mixed with outrage that is followed by a side of dissapointment, I feel like I've earned my Xûr purchase. Since IB is just a virtual entity with no real world value this thread and the clones before it is relatively moot. :/

6 OdpowiedziThere's a lot of people who think that people who earn strange coins and buy an icebreaker with those earned strange coins, did not actually earn the ice breaker. Let me tell you a little problem with your "logic". Every week xur has weapons and armor, every week we earn strange coins by doing the weeklies. Out of the almost 20 weeks (maybe more maybe less) Xur has only sold the ice breaker twice. Let's say you made 3 characters. That's 3 of each raid and 3 nightfalls so you have 9 chances at getting an icebreaker each week on top of all the random chances you have with normal activities. People who wait for xur to sell it have the same amount of chances. They just didn't get lucky. Just because you got lucky and got it from an activity, does not mean you "earned" it. It means you rolled the dice and rolled high. Everyone that doesn't have one has actually been putting the same amount of work in as you. Me and my buddy have been playing this game since day 1. I've gotten the icebreaker twice, once from a nightfall, once from xur when he sold it earlier. He hasn't gotten one until this week. He had 200+ strange coins saved up because ice breaker Is the one exotic he was missing. Did he not earn his icebreaker? TL;DR- OP is an idiot and doesn't know anything about how people have been grinding their asses off since they got this game.

Been playing since week 1. Never once received ice breaker. Bought it Friday from Xur. Get over it. Never seen some many whiners in my life.
-
Rambling text wall... Tinfoil hat and dribble bib for this fella. Pronto!
-
I earned 4.

I've been playing since the beta( besides a 2 1/2 week break back in early Nov) and I bought my IB from Xur the 1st time he sold it and back then no one complained and most players back then also purchased it but you're better than everyone else cause of an RNG drop?? Lmfao gtfo dude! I've seen last place players in Crucible and players that go 0-15 get awarded w/IBs and Ghorns through RNG and what you're saying is that they earned them too. Btw I saw your edit but you're still saying the same thing.....All RNG rewards are earned(according to you).Get f**ked bro

Stopped reading when you went full retard about three sentences in. Many people have put just as much time in as you with no luck, this gives them a chance. The bigger picture is that the reward system is flawed and people need good guns or they will quit the game. I'm fine with "you win raid X amount of times and you get Y gun" and you for sure get the icebreaker at some point, then none of this would be a problem, everyone would have to earn it.
-
I have 145 hours played. No icebreaker, bought it from xur. Stfu, seriously.
-
I bought my first icebreaker from xur then got in a nightfall the week after and dismantled it and then bought two yesterday just to keep one on each character. So I think I have earned my icebreaker.
-
I got my first Icebreaker in a drop from Deathsinger last week, I bought a second from Xur. to be honest, I didn't "earn" either of them IMO.
-
Is it really that serious? This weapon isn't even that powerful. By the time you regenerate your amo the black hammer or praedyth would have already taken out the boomers.
-
The truth is I have Icebreaker... Doesn't matter how I got it.
-
Got mine from my first nightfall hardly see that as earning it, more luck, personally if you bought it I say you earned it more than I did
-
I got my first IB in the Iron Banner 2.0. After 3-4 straight games of being in 1st and getting nothing, I sat the controller down, got a drink, opened a bag a of chips, ate a couple chips, drank some Dew, then picked up the controller, killed 2-3 people, captured a point, drank some more, ate a couple more chips, killed another person and the game ended. I was at the bottom of the list, and I EARNED the IB. I guess I EARNED the 2 I bought this weekend, because my 200+ strange coins were not just handed to me. [spoiler]OP, STFU[/spoiler]
-
I can't believe this earner crap is still a thing you got lucky with rng end of story no skill no nothing yay you got it early as for xur you got it with a little patience and possibly farming end of story yay you got it anyway if it actually matters you really need to put down the game and just take a break

1 OdpowiedźWho cares. Now shut the -blam!- up and get on boomer duty so I don't have to anymore.

1 OdpowiedźEverybody earned it in some way, shape, or form...

1 OdpowiedźWhen he sells Gjallarhorn again you earners better not buy it. Also, if you buy exotic engrams and ammo packs, you're a scrub. Earners only use glimmer. If you buy guns from the Iron Banner, you're a scrub. U mad bro?

Yeah I totally earned it, by purchasing it for strange coins from xur. Not seeing the difference. Don't be so but hurt over a gun. I could use my ldr5001 just as efficiently. Quit your crying ladies.
