Yeah, no hand outs here. I actually earned my Red Death.
I earned it because I had to grind the weekly multiple times every week, and bore myself to tears in an attempt to get coins. I also had to grind out the hours of the days, weeks, and months anxiously awaiting Xur to have red death again.
So if you think that's less of a grind than getting lucky on the roll of a rng die, congrats, you are what's wrong with this game.
Thank you, and good day.
