Why "Xurning" is justifiable
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
-
If Destiny really wanted to make sure every player "earn" their exotic, they would make them available only through the Vanguard exotic missives, where you have to grind a ridiculous amount of strikes (25 for Bad Juju?), suck less in the Crucible (Invective), etc. This way, not only are you at the mercy of RNG just to get the chance at the exotic you want, but you also have to "earn it". But why make the game so frustrating? I can't tell you how many times those Vanguard missives gave me the same three exotic bounties over and over. I still haven't gotten all of the exotics through RNG, and I'm a day one beta player. I have God awful luck. Xur is an opportunity to flesh out my inventory with rewards from grinding Weeklies and earning so much XP that I have Motes of Light falling out of my ass. Besides, he rarely sells what I need or want. I'm still at the mercy of the Cryptarch with those exotic engrams. At the end of the day, people cheese the Raids for their exotic drops, then whine that Xur sells them two days later. Crota takes 20 minutes. Getting enough strange coins or motes of light takes a lot longer.
