strange coins were way too easy to get and you could buy everything xur had every week and have left over coins to upgrade sparrows because they had a different color tail. (I think I have 5 legendaries now, only 2 of which are timebreakers)
They made it so you can't buy everything every week, which helps solve the bitching we heard every week because everybody was using the newest xur gun. While it was nice to have enough strange coins to not have to worry about what you bought, this is probably a good thing. First time since the first month that I'm actually not sure whether to buy something or hold on to my coins. (Titan arms, since it's my least played class and I upgraded his chest)
You speak as a person who probably has three guardians leveled up. What about those with only two guardians or even one? Strange coins are far harder to come by and I'd wager that more players have less than three guardians than those that do
