I can't believe that 6 months later we are still on about earning via RNG. Let me tell you a couple stories. I've done the raids, the nightfalls, the heroics, the strikes, the crucible, the Iron Banner etc etc for quite some time now (been here since Saturday of the alpha, all the beta playing since launch at midnight) on three characters. But a friend who plays on and off and for maybe an hour or two a couple nights a week just had ghorn drop last night on hard crota. He was carried, very carried, we had 5 32s, figured he would be fine at 31, he promptly died in the crystal room each attempt. Match ends and I get my 6th dragon breath from crota, he gets ghorn for staring at us on the death cam. But I suppose he earned it. Afterall, another friend and I have gotten through a lot of nightfalls till the boss is at 5% to invite him in (intentionally, it is just easier this way) so he can get it done. I suppose he earned it though eh? My girlfriend got universal remote on two occasions. Through a nightfall I and a couple buddies ran her through when she was level 28 and a raid I ran her through when she was 30. I suppose she earned them? (She is a very competent gamer she was just underleveled and new to it) I play consistently, run my weekly heroics whether they be Omnigul with no burns or Archon priest with all the burns, I do it because it is fun, gives me a small satisfaction for completing it, and I earn those coins (put in an effort for a defined reward). I don't begrudge anyone anything they've gotten and thankfully there isn't an in game trading system, the bitterness in situations with my friend last night would be over 9000, because we both know of the two of us who has put in more time overall and who puts in more work in each encounter. Of the two of us we both know who "earned" it. In the end it is all RNG, strange coins and Xur simply let you choose whether you want take advantage of a specific instance of RNG. Anyway, cheers, sorry your two character snowflake syndrome had to be melted so soon because now anyone willing to put in an effort to get strange coins can have Universal Remote too.
