Jk, -blam!- everyone who says shit like that. I have more respect for you if you bought weapons from xur and here's why...
People who "earn" stuff from RNG do this by:
-Completing the nightfall (15-20 mins)
-Killing the Death singer (5 minutes)
-Killing Crota (5-10 mins)
-Opening VoG chest (20 seconds)
-Killing Atheon (5-10 minutes)
-Getting lucky in crucible or strikes (10 mins)
-Being carried/AFK in pve
-Going negative as shit in pvp
People who "xurn" stuff do this by:
Completing 2-3 level ~30 weekly heroics (15-20 mins)
Getting lucky means you didn't work for it so that isn't earning. The most amount of time to complete one of the many ways to possibly receive an exotic is 20 minutes.
The amount of time it takes to get enough coins to buy an exotic from xur is between 40 minutes to an hour. Add about 10 minutes worth of loading time and switching characters/weapons. I'd say playing for 50 minutes to an hour means you worked harder than the guy that spent 20 minutes and got lucky. In any case, the guy that put in more time for a guaranteed result earned it, not the guy that got lucky.
TL;DR: Xurners are actually the real earners
Edit: Added bullets for going AFK and going negative. Also, feel free to check out my montage and why I love NLB!
Edit 2: it's funny seeing replies from people that don't read before they comment. We've all been there and I will not fire back in a mean way unless you take your comment too far :)
Edit 3: Wow over 200 replies. Keep em coming so all the earners>xurners see this
Edit 4: Over 500 replies!! Thanks guys keep em coming!

Edited by OutLaw49x: 4/19/2015 3:38:08 AMI will add mine!!! I play 3 characters. With all 3 I do the following.. 3x daily per day 3x weekly per week 3x nightfall per week 3x full rack of bounties per day 3x raid per week usually just normal At least 3 roc per day Why? I know how to play efficiently so I do I get allot of engrams, weapons/armor experience, glimmer and other consumables as well as STRANGE COINS and MOTES OF LIGHT. What do I do with them? I am glad you asked. I march my ass right over to xur and spend my EARNED coins and motes on whatever he has that I want! HOWZ THAT! Anybody with me out there? -blam!- you crybaby ass xurned/earned Whiney ass scrubs!

Im pretty sure nightfall counts

Edited by RoseScythe: 4/19/2015 3:19:13 AMYour argument is skewed, and deeply flawed. The RNG activities you listed don't guarantee an exotic drop so the completion times you've stated are irrelevant. You're also only accounting for the best case scenario. I could join 3 Weekly Heroic Strikes and be matched with players seconds away from downing the boss and ,using your logic, list the WH completion time as ~5 seconds. ~5 seconds effort for a [i]guaranteed[/i] exotic. Still earning? [quote]Being carried / AFK in PVE[/quote] This works both ways unfortunately. Weekly Heroic Strikes are the only activity where you're still guaranteed an exotic if you go AFK. Guaranteed. For literally doing nothing. Skill is irrelevant with guaranteed drops as much as it is with RNG. Either both methods of obtaining exotics are "earning", or neither are. There's no doubt that xurning is the easier method though.

I got it from crota hard: crota, I barely upgrade it CUZ I fear people like you will call me a fagg.!😬
-
Nice shoulder charge and super kills noob
-
Lol I bought one from xur yesterday and got one from the exotic chest today. *sigh* So that makes me... both?
-
I got mine from crucible.
-
I had to buy mine too. But damn it's all I get killed by anymore lol
-
I got mine from prepatch rockets mcdickface. OOOOOOH
-
I love the last word and got it from xur he is the best and I agree 100% with your post
-
I bought one today, but will probably never use it to be honest. I'm just not a handcannon kind of guy.
-
Both are earned
-
Acquired about 6 of them dont use 1 sharded 3
-
Earners - did a raid got TLW. Real life equivalent - walked to the betting shop. put a bet on a horse because you liked its name, and it won. Bought a TV with the money. Happy days a free TV. Xurners - bought TLW with your coins. Real life equivalent - worked 42+ hours over 5 days to be able to afford the TV you wanted. Happy days your hard work payed off. At the end of the day who really cares, it's all RNG. And its only a game..

Man, you deserve so much rep. Not only for NLB Nation but for the Xurner truth
-
So u are saying -blam!- yourself?

Why do ppl use the word "work" when talking about a video game. Bungie pay me to play your game. I'm working!
-
I kinda enjoyed a game where a lot players on the other team was using TLW because most of them didn't know how to use it properly. If someone is lagging really bad and he's using a tlw, you better quit the match lol (unless you don't care about you k/d)
-
Oh shit sorry man I thought this was a rage post, soo sorry
-
You are not helping. At all.
-
Also I forgot to say something, using ur logic everyone who buys heavy from xur xurned their heavy and aren't good at the game. So if u ever bought heavy from xur u suck at the game and should never play it again.
-
Did you ever buy something from xur? (Drops mic leaves the room)
-
I Xurned my Last Word through using 23 Strange Coins I got from Engrams Yes Xurning is totally more respectful
-
Imagine how pissed the earners would be if xur sold g-horn the forums would be overflowing with hate for xur and bungie.
