Yeah I have both P&T and Plan C, and I'm with you neither are that good. Plan C is Ok in Crucible because of the quick fire ability. And the only time I really use P&T is if it's an Arc burn week. Both are pretty over-rated. I also agree that earning it/getting a lucky drop debate is stupid. Many of us can't get certain weapons to drop no matter what we do, so Xur selling it helps us get it. Me for example, I can't get either Monte Carlo or Hawkmoon to drop, unfortunately Xur will never sell those PS4 exclusives. So basically I'm screwed until the RNGesus decides to grace me with one of those drops and it's annoying because I get multiples of other exotics but can't get those no matter what.
