I earned mine by:
- Playing the game for almost a year now.
- Running raids multiple times.
- Sucking up the frustration of getting the same exotic multiple times (ii.e.: MIDA Multi-Tool).
- Sucking up the frustration of only receiving shards and energy for Nightfall and Raids while others would complain for getting their 5th Gjallarhorn.
- Keep playiing Destiny despite all and sticking with it as THE ONLY VIDEOGAME I PLAY.
- For having a truck load of Strange Coins from all activities and patiently waiting for XUR to sell something I wanted.
- For being lucky when I decided to stay at work while my family enjoyed vacation abroad on the weekend XUR decided to sell Gjallarhorn.
I agree. This talk from some folks that believe receiving their Gjallarhorn from a drop makes them more deserving of the weapon than someone who bought it from XUR is completely ridiculous. The only weapons you make for deserving are the ones you have to run Exotic Bounties (Thorn, Bad Juju, Invective, etc.). Even in this case I see unfairness as many are still to receive the bounties.
I thank Bungie for finally allowing XUR to sell Gjallarhorn. Even knowing it will be "nerfed", I now play the game with less frustration (and anger). I am happy I was finally able to get the one Exotic I really wanted for my collection. I trully feel lighter from finally removing the frustration I was carrying for a long time.
Note: I recently received my 3rd Crux of Crota. I know folks who have dismantled many Gjallarhorns and still do not have that. I do not feel I've :"earned" the right to have Crux of Crota anymore than these folks. There is nothing any player can do to guarantee drops. As I stated previously on other posts, Lottery is more fair than Bungie RNG system.
Keep the fight in the game. Peace everywhere else.
Help others whenever possible.

Preach! PS I'm just a tiny bit jelly of your cruxes, as the Random Number Goddess hasn't yet seen fit to grace me with one yet

Edited by corujariousa: 8/20/2015 8:12:44 PMI wish I could give you one Colonel. Suggestion: I read this and started using the technique. I cannot prove it is correct but the results with me have been positive. To increase your chances to get Crux of Crota, try: - Run on hard mode first. - Have equiped: A Crota End item (like Hunter's Crota Cloak), Ho Gloo shader, Crota Spaceship, Crota's End Emblem, Crota's weapons before Crota dies. I've been using the above technique everytime I run Crota and got 3 Cruxes so I am a believer. I hope it helps and you get lucky.

I wonder if that's because of the loot system on Crota that is supposed to take into account what you already have. I'll give it a shot sometime! Thanks for the advice!
