I remember good old days in D1 when Xur meant something making sure you got enough coins for when he would visit . I think D1 had more excitement overall for exotic drops since they could happen anywhere in game not like D2 where restricted to certain areas/activities.

Xur does occasionally sell old trials/iron banner weapons. As for his locations, heck yeah i think he could use a few more areas to stalk us in.

Xur should sell exclusive "The Nine" themed stuff, just like Iron Banner. Time-limited gears you can't find anywhere else and you should only be able to exchange them with strange coins that you find randomly in chests.

Xur is no longer needed in the game. Just remove him.

The red border idea is pretty good, perhaps one cipher can be used for a "freebie" and a limit of one or two red borders for 100 legendary shards per week... (per character?) The exotic armours definitely need improvement, perhaps make each armour with a total stat role of atleast 65+, with an upper limit of around 80 or 85. If possible, the Eternity xur, traveling xur, or even both should sell more of the sunset armours that come with average stat roles? This is someting i would add or think about: Instead of one armour set each week that many don't need, have a whole seperate page, with either 5 sets, or 10 sets of armour from all previous seasons, all the way back to possibly red war(?), which would include old raid armour, old trials of the nine armour, etc... This is a bit of stretch, but if Bungie had xur selling older armour and possibly weapons, such as old raid and trials of the nine loot, Bungie could unsunset these past items since they are no longer sunsetting after lightfall. There could also be random weeks with xur selling loot such as leviathan loot and other past endgame gear, like how Iron Banner isn't every week. It would likely create some hype for xur again and the whole "don't miss him this week" feeling many of us, including myself, had back in D1. For me, the only time xur is "exciting" is if he sells good stuff or loot I don't already have... *This is another idea incase* If bungie doesn't want to add old loot to xur, then they could add specific vendors for specific loot since many characters have no use... We could have Mithrax sell loot from season of the Splicer and Plunder. We could have Crow sell loot from Season of the Hunt and Lost. We could have either Caitle herself or a hologram/representative sell loot from Season of the Haunted, Risen and Chosen. We could have Osiris sell loot from Season of the Undying and Dawn. And finally(I think) have Rasputin become an exo like he is shown in some old D1 concept art, and sell loot from Season of worthy, Arrivals(?), and seraph. We could have Mara sell Season of Lost instead (aswell as old forsaken loot?), and have Crow sell Season of Chosen instead of Caitle/representative/hologram. *just thought up, edited* We could have certain vendors sell old raid loot, such as the old "sweep bot" selling the leviathan loot, including Legend of acrius catalyst if you can't currently get it. And possibly have an access path to the large trials of the nine face or old trials of nine floating levels/ pre-The Reckoning for trials of the nine loot?(armour definitely if no other source) Sorry this is such a long comment, as of writing I kept coming up with new ideas and how bungie could implement it into the game.

Xur should sell Divinity. I can even pay with spoils if needed.

And the scholar was a scout…with a mediocre role. He could be utilized so much better. Xur should be anticipated! He should be something you’re ready for all week long. But now it’s mostly ‘ok Xur is here, nah e he’ll have a decent roled gun’
