I love this whole earned vs xurned argument. (Spoiler will start the firestorm) Frankly, RNG exotics [spoiler](and by that I mean those received from raid as well)[/spoiler] go right in line with Xurned to me if there is truly a difference between earning and getting from Xur. Right now I have Truth that I supposively earned based on what I have seen. How did I get it? Legendary engram from leveling up the cryptarch. The thing is lvl 6 cryptarch is so small in comparison to other players I have seen. Sorry but this doesnt feel much "earned" to me. In order to purchase the weapons from Xur, you have to collect strange coins with weekly heoric being a popular choice of getting it. Are these coins not earned? This is what lead to my comment earlier. If you do not feel that those coins are earned which is used for the sole purpose and buying from Xur then how is your exotic RNG drop from VoG any different? I contend that it isn't. It is just another task (yes I know if is difficult even though I have not completed it), but that is it. It is another play mode that has exotics as the possible reward for completing. So what is earned? Bounty exotics. I am going to feel a sense of pride in completing my first bounty and feel I earned my 2nd exotic more than RNG going my for once. For those that read the whole thing, i have no issue with how exotics a received. Just sick of seeing it one side against the other with no real logic for the argument.
