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

So here's an interesting question, To all the people that say buying from xur isn't earning. Would it be better if he sold a random piece to each person? Sort of like the engram(but with coins) , with the exception it would specific to class/weapon, so if you bought a helmet and your titan you get a titan helmet, just don't know which one. Same with weapons, buy an auto rifle, get an auto rifle, buy a machine a gun, get a machine gun, just don't know which one. My guess is those people, would not like that either, even though it would be some randomness. This is what makes their argument, pointless Have a nice day.
