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!
