Xur IS random. Why is this so hard for everyone to understand?

For multiple weeks we have seen endless whining about how "Bungie lied" or "Xur isn't random, I'm done." Well those people are wrong. Guess what? Xur's inventory can still be random and pre-determined. Let me explain. I have a 24 sided dice. Let's say every week at my store I have a set of 24 items all labeled with a number. Now, I could roll the dice every week, for 24 weeks, to pick the number, and thats what I sell. Or, at the beginning, I could roll the dice 24 times and just record the numbers and sell the items in the order the numbers were rolled. No matter if I did it once a week separately, or all at the beginning, I could still end up with multiple repeats of the same number. Random is random. And just because someone data-mined the info doesn't mean it isn't random. Discovery of previously randomized, pre-rolled data does not make it any less random. This is no different with Xur. Can we all accept this and move on? And to be clear, I understand that Bungie has the ability to change Xur's inventory at any given time.

  • I don't think it's random solely on the fact that the DLC weapons have been sold so many times. The percent chance that that would actually happen is so ridiculously low, that it's not possible to have those weapons repeat so much randomly
