I've been killing bosses, going through strikes, being either top or 2nd on kills, calling out Minotaur and killing many of them during raid, helping people through strike/raids the weeks i already beat them, and definitely you don't earn exotic or legendary from RNG as much as a guy who literately joins at the end of my weekly strike kills one cabal and getting the horn(like WTF?). People who save up coins, go through the weekly heroic raids to have enough coins hoping Xur does not screw them over with another sunbreaker armor piece and hopefully he has something they saved up for. I have raid member who did it 13 times and have yet to be level 30 cause of one raid gear piece, and other friends who are terrible at the game and got all their raid gear from 2-3 raids. You do not EARN with an RNG system, you get lucky, so quit your crying. I completed the raid 8 times already and did many incomplete ones and have yet to get one single piece of raid gear, but there is always next week.

You know how many times I've done the raid? On hard and normal? I do it 2 on both difficulties every week and would do it 20 times if I could. Telling me to go kill Atheon or get it from a chest is a joke. I don't care if you have your exotics from xur or getting them as a drop. I personally have never gotten an exotic weapon drop. I think I earned mine though. I also think if you hold square or X for 3 secs to open a chest and get an exotic you earned it. Who cares?! Eventually everyone will have the exotics. So how about everyone stops complaining about your damn exotics and we go and -blam!- up Atheon or the boss that happens to be in the nightfall with the exotics that we USE.

One day everyone will learn to read tags, until that day let the festivities continue!! #earners>xurners

Guess no one saw the #sarcasm. Lol

So a person gets lucky on a TIGER STRIKE and gets an exotic. Yay RNG! A person does all three weekly heroic strikes and saves up strange coins from hard work. Yay Xur! Don't bullshit about how Xur is Santa. Seriously.

You really are convinced that putting in the time and getting the weapon via lucky RNG roll is better then scraping the coins together and buying it from Xur? I bet you shoved Atheon off the edge repeatedly to "earn" your level 30.

Judging from your name, you must not be very intelligent. Some of these exotics are not gainable through the bounties. So in other words, instead of just waiting for a random drop and get lucky to "earn" your exotic, they gave you the option to "earn" those strange coins and save up to buy that exotic you haven't been so lucky to "earn" in a random drop. See what I'm saying? Or should I get more clearer?

I'd love to see the exact thread that started the transition from casual to hardcore gaming attitudes, the amount of butthurt from that thread alone could power New York City for weeks. Why does having a casualistic gaming style matter? What does you not buying your gear give you to make you so much more of an elitist than everyone else? Oh, and these questions aren't just aimed at you, but everyone on these forums who actually thinks it's okay to redicule any player who piles up his coins, and buys gear. How dare you use your resources, shame on you. Seriously, what's the hurt in buying from Xûr? Does it affect you in any way? Now, I understand the perspective of being upset because someone bought something you randomly got... Wait what? You had no inclination as to how you would get said exotic piece of gear. You had no idea that it would drop. So saying that you of all people earned it, and that someone who purchases it doesn't, when you were basically just handed it for free... It abuses your already highly established sense of entitlement. I gained my Universal Remote through the RNG system, and I would love if other players could have half as much luck as I did at the moment I got it... I did the Archon Priest strike for probably the third time that day; and poof. There it was. I freaked out. I freaked out, my strike mates freaked out, and I'm sure my dog freaked out watching me freak out. Now my Sunbreakers, I bought them from Xûr. At the moment of it's purchase, i had been saving up coins for about four weeks... Which sounds pathetic in hindsight now that I get them so easily, but I didn't know as much then as I do now (as in don't rely on crucible for gear. That's very bad. Don't do it.). These Sunbreakers gave me a subtle boost for me to get to level 24 so I could do the Tiger Strikes... In the matter of three days, I leveled up four times. I'm stoked. I am the definition of a casual gamer. I play on the weekends, I have a social life, I take my love life into account before I do my Exo's. Being this casual gamer, I would have been grinding for what seems like ages before I could even be able to do damage in the nightfall strike. Oh woe is me when someone gets what I have though. How dare Xûr even think about handing out my Universal Remote, I [b]EARNED[/b] it!!! Let's be real, I didn't. I was lucky. I in no way influenced the probability of that drop, so how am I entitled to the sense of perfectionism that states that anyone who doesn't get it randomly is a [i]Filthy Casual[/i]. If you wish to bash on us for being a Casual player, then I pray that you find something in your life that's worth merit... Because taking this much of a narcissistic and all imposing stance in a video game is sad. Edit: before people make fun of me for "falling for the troll", being sarcastic does not mean you're not taking a stand. So unless you're willing to use some brain cells in my subthread, I won't be acknowledging you.

How is getting an exotic from a random drop called earning? Also you can randomly "earn" strange coin from engrams that you randomly "earn" and therefore your point is invalid

Take a shit

I'm sorry I'm a filthy casual! But I technically got my chest piece legit cuz I bought it from xur then got it again from the nightfall. I got thorn. Got super good advice. Got achlyophage symbiote. Suros. Etc. all legit! But I think if u get strange coins from both the weeklys u deserve and exotic. Mainly cuz the loot tables hate you.

Because I'm drunk....and watching South Park, I say " Boooooo Wendy Testaburger....Boooooo"! Still, I love the responses ;)
