[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.

that's a horse shit analogy.. it' s more like getting a promotion at work. you put in hours of work, your chance at getting a promotion isn't finite compared to how hard you work, but it sure as hell helps to work hard.

1 ResponderI earned the money used to buy this game. I will do as I God damn please and buy anything I want from my buddy seaweed face.

5 RespostasHere's a better analogy, since buying a lottery ticket is not difficult, and requires no work. I'm going to compare people who got the icebreaker from the raid/nightfall, to the people who just bought (aka 2 lvl 28 weeklys) it. Lets say I go out and build a house for a man, and he gives me a new Mercedes in return. Now the man has you build 2 sheds in his backyard, and gives you an exact same version of Mercedes that he gave me. Clearly, I had to work harder for my Mercedes then you did for yours. This, is where some people are coming from. However, I think both sides are a joke. You didn't earn your Icebreaker if you bought it from Xur. You also got lucky that he was selling it, since that too is RNG. The fact that you can get a weapon as good as the Icebreaker from Xur/simply beating a nightfall/beat the raid, is a joke. I'm on the side that weapons as good as the Icebreaker should be both random AND very hard to get a random chance of receiving (much like the Mythoclast, assuming you don't drop Atheon off the cliff).

Well said. So far I got suros as a random drop in the vault and everything else I have was a weapon bounty. If anything, I would say the suros feels more gratifying because it was free! But the other ones were earned. Because they weren't random drops. The people saying they "earned" their weapon...you got super lucky. Good job.

3 RespostasWhat are you talking about? You have to earn the coins to spend. Strange coins are a random item. Completing a strike you get a random item. The whole game is random, so it make no difference where you get your item, you had to earn the coins to buy it, or do a hell of a lot of strikes and get very lucky. VOG done 5 times now and still only got 1 item! Now if you wanna moan about anything, moan about the lack of items you get to the amount of time you play.

think about it this was, they will be releasing more DLC's with more content.i.e., armor, weapons, and other. so the exotics that we get now will probably suck ass -blam!- when other exotics are released later
-
I have to agree. It's waaay too easy to earn exotics in this game.

13 Respostas"You got your gun from RNG, therefore you didn't earn it because it was random." "I earned my strange coins. They were from RNG as well but since I'm trying to make a point I'll leave that part out."
-
Iv'e earned my exotic bounty 10 times over, but i still haven't gotten it. RNGsus hates me :(
-
Considering you can get the best gun in the game by pushing something off a cliff in 30 seconds, it's hard to say it's really possible to earn anything in this game
-
SHUT UP!, THAT SKY IS BEAUTIFUL!!.
-
The sentiment is fine but the analogy is a bit broken. [quote]They can spend that money however they want, because it's theirs - they earned it.[/quote] They can buy a lottery ticket.
-
2 Respostasrewards from a nightfall strike, which is a difficult task, should definitely be considered as "earned."
-
Im only mad because I got Ice breaker from engram and i was special and Xur ruined my fun
-
Ha ha well worded my friend.
-
2 RespostasHEY guys the exotic you can only wear one item in weapon or armor so stfu.
-
3 RespostasI've logged more than enough hours to be an 'earner' and I've had two exotic rewards.. from a nightfall and from vog hard mode... not a single magical exotic engram rewards. or crucible gift.. I've also completed multiple exotic bounties. and purchased two weapons from xur. I 'earned' suros from beating a nighfall strike. I 'earned' vex from vog hard mode atheon. I 'earned' bad juju, thorn, and invective from bounties. I 'earned' the vast majority of my strange coins from the weakly herioc strike . what this actually means is that I play the game. and utilize all venues available to me to progress. That's playing the game.. it should be for your enjoyment when you play. and mine when I play.

Boooooom. Indisputable logic. Of reality. All u crybabies out there.

1 ResponderYou only earn stuff/things/money/experience/whatever in real life. You don't earn things on video games. You just play video games. Video games are entertainment/fun not a job.

Editado por b e a n: 10/12/2014 2:00:29 AMGear in short: Earn: Play a mission, hope the random number generator (RNG) is kind or hope that the Cryptarch is colour blind in a [b]good [/b]way. "Not Earn": Get Strange Coins from Weekly Strikes and hope the random number generator gives you some more from Engrams. That's the gist of it. There is no cut and paste system for 'earning' gear in Destiny. You either work for coins, or play repeat the strike playlist/crucible/raids until you get it. I guess buying Engrams for motes is both at once, since you get the random drop from the Engram as well as the mote farming. [b][/b]

3 RespostasI don't care where people got their shit if it's not raid gear. I didn't get an exotic I ever used until level 29 and still don't have exotic armor. I do however, buy exotic armor from Xür all the time to disassemble that shit for shards. It's not like I haven't "earned" rather than bought exotics either, but when they were even for my class I thought they weren't worth my materials anyway. Now, if you think I'm a retard for not equipping gear just for the Light, you're the type of player no one wants on their team anyway.

9 RespostasYes u earned ur coins and u did the bounty... And something that was sooo rare, u bought with 17 coins? Lmao what? How does that work... What next he will have the vex myth?
-
I earned those coins, also being a Warlock, Xur has had absolute shit gear for me everytime (I already had the chest piece from a legendary engram). Stop complaining about "earning'.
-
You sir are a complete bull shitter
-
2 RespostasStill you'd think they wouldn't have them up for sale for 13-17 strange coins when you can farm over 27 a week.
-
To be honest these discussions are pointless. If you get give or take 20 strange coins to buy a weapon, then you earned it. If you invest your time into farming (like a farmer farms his potatoes) then you earned your weapon. The only time you wouldn't be earning was if you stood in the tower doing absolutely nothing and some dude walked up and handed the item to you. Then it would be a gift. However that doesn't happen.
