Alright, I wanna put a stop to the debate.
Xür, the Agent of The Nine is a vendor that comes to the tower from Friday to Sunday. As everyone knows, he is your one-stop-shop to buy exotic weapons and armor pieces. You purchase the gear with [b]strange coins[/b]. Now the argument against purchasing these items from Xür is, that you're not actually "earning" these items. How can this be true? If you do the weekly heroic on three characters and grind to do all of them on level 30 to bag yourself a mere 27 coins, that seems like your earning them to me. In turn you are also earning the gear you buy from Xür because you grinded for said coins.
People say that they "earned" the exotic gear by playing raids and Vangaurd Roc strikes. Okay let's put it like this, you "earned" the gear because you killed the deathsinger and [b]RNG[/b] randomly generated an exotic for you? You got [b]LUCKY[/b], there was no earning involved. The Random Number Generator system is completely based on luck! Not how much time you spent on the game, or how many raids you played, or even how much crucible you played! Luck is everything in this game. So Bungie, being the [b]AWESOME[/b] company they are, put in a way to actually EARN Your exotics. (Xür)
I rest my case, I would like to see some POV's on this topic, don't post nothing but hate on this thread. Let's get this trending

I appreciate your effort here, but the thing is that this debate is not really going at it from the right angle. Bungie has said that at some point they expect everybody to have all exotics. I have read that statement several times. People who complain that some weapons need to be rare or earned just did not have enough prior knowledge before going into this topic. You have no right to claim a weapon as rare or having to be earned. Xur is in the game from the beginning he is a gameplay mechanic that was released with the game you bought. Argueing or trying to justify him does not make any sense because a mechanic that exists in the game is nothing people need to justify themselves for using. The fact of the matter is, that all the elitists and earnist UNJUSTIFIABLY claim that you have to get the exotics the way that THEY prefer, even though they came AFTER Xur. Meaning this whole debate is complete BS.
