If you voted yes, no, or kinda, comment below why or why not it is or is not "earning". After seeing so much controversy on this subject I want to see what some people have to say, you are all entitled to your opinions so have at it Guardians!!!

getting a drop is getting a drop either earned through game play, rng or bought with SC's that you earned by doing hard content of the game
-
-
Kinda cause you earned the SC but it's not like you actually like killed idk ummm Atheon for it...
-
Yea. You got SC. You walked up to the guy. Said hey. I want (said exotic). He said ight gimme dem coins (that you earned). And yall both go separate ways lol. You earned the coins which transfer in a sense to an exotic

Yes it's earning it because you do the weekly heroics and earn the coins to exchange them for things you want. It's like today's currency. You work earn money and earn the stuff you have if you people say no you're just hypocrites lol.
-
I voted no because it's all lucky, what he brings, if you get on to buy it, if you rng it or what. The only thing in this game you earn is your skill weapons only help so much. As they say 'ALL THE GEAR NO IDEA' Add me for regular raids and weeklys
-
I voted no. My reason? Because NOTHING is earned in this game. Its a game, not a job. You play, you have fun, and you get random loot from random drops. Whether that's a legendary engram dropping from a level 2 enemy on patrol, or opening a chest in VOG, or using coins to buy from Xur. Its all random. (I don't know if Xur is ranndomised or are selected by Bungie but to me its random because I don't know what he will have each week.) Anyone who feels they've "earned" anything in this game has probably never worked a day in their life. My advice, get a job, get your first weeks/months wages and then you'll know a true feeling of earning.
-
Here's the real answer. You earn things in real life like an education, a paycheck ect. In a video game you play and have fun. Arguing about earning weapons in a game is kind of like winning the special Olympics. You may have won, but you are still retarded. Now stop the stupidity but I know you won't.
-
-
Yes because if you don't earn the strange coins you're not really earning anything from Xur
-
Ok so if saving strange coins to buy exotics is not "earning" then stop saving crucible and vanguard marks to buy legendary weapons and armor. If you play enough you'll get a few drops a month, maybe more if you're lucky. And don't use them to buy materials either, just go patrol and grind them out. While we're busting balls, you can also stop buying telemetries and heavy ammo and exotic engrams from Xur. .... Lol didn't think so. So stop with the Xurning isn't "earning" BS and play the way you want and we'll play how we want. It's just a game people. You're supposed to be having fun!

由Xv NiZzO vX編輯: 2/19/2015 6:02:35 AMEven though Xur is cheap you still have to earn strange coins from nightfall or weekly's. That or get one at a time from breaking down engrams. On the flip side of the coin you can get an exotic from a legendary engram from a lvl 2 dreg or you can complete raids or strikes for a better chance at them. Even exotic bounties you complete tasks for a certainty of obtaining that weapon. So yes everything you obtain in this game you technically earn. It's just that some items you will get were more easily obtained than others because of sheer luck. It's RNG baby. It's all luck.
