Poor Xur. He gets a bad rap when not even [i]he[/i] gets to choose what he brings. Supposedly, at least, but that's beside the point.
I imagine Xur hanging at Bungie HQ on Thursday nights, doing his best to avoid leaving for the weekend.
"Can I just sell Gjallarhorn this week? That's what everyone wants? And everyone in the Tower hates me! I can tell from how they look at me after looking at my wares and before going straight to orbit, a curse on their lips!
I'm literally the worst traveling salesman of all time, and I can't even choose my own inventory! Who does that?! That's the [i]opposite[/i] of supply and demand! No one's given me coins in months and rent's coming up!
At...at least let me just take that stack of heavy synth? Someone almost stabbed me last week with Red Death. He had just come from the moon, and screamed something about Hunger of Crota and just lunged at me. I'm...I'm just scared is all...."
Bungie's reply? "Sorry, Xur, but you're random. There's nothing to be done about it, little guy. Have fun with your friends!"
And with an encouraging slap on the ass, Bungie ushers Xur back to the Tower, where he cries and cowers for two days straight, wondering how he's going to pay off his gambling debt if he's never lucky enough to sell something the Guardians want.

I think he really hit the nail on the head with Xur when he discussed the heavy ammo glitch. It IS a big deal. It's directly targeted at CE. Bungie says it's difficult to fix (I believe them). The simple solution is to have Xur sell heavy ammo. Bungie's reply is "we don't control Xur." (I don't believe them.) Even if true, this translates to one of two phrases: 1) We [b]can't[/b] control Xur. 2) We [b]won't[/b] control Xur. Anyone who believes it's option 1, message me; I have a bridge for sale. This leads into bungie's horrible decision making with their updates. They have the time to study the numbers and tweak auto rifle damage by a couple of percent but they don't have the time to fix the crota glitches? Seriously? Not even an acknowledgement that they're working on it? I normally have 10 to 12 friends on in the evenings. Last night I had two. I won't be on tonight. I might pop in this weekend if Xur is selling something decent. The burnout is real.
