So, not that I believe such things, but I can't sleep, so I'm gonna write this post. Anyway, remember last week, when Xur sold the broken engrams that gave nothing but Crest Of Alpha Lupi to people, regardless of class or previous ownership? Many people, I'm sure, had loads of strange coins saved up specifically to buy those engrams, but they would up wasting them all on the broken engrams, plus the year two Skull Of Dire Ahamkara (warlock helmet) that by all means shouldn't even exist yet. I know I did, and I was left with only two strange coins. So it looked like I had to start grinding right? A week later, after completing almost every daily PvE bounty, and a few PvP bounties as well, I have fifteen strange coins. Odd, considering that the previous week, after doing the same thing, I had almost sixty of them. Seems like there may have been a nerf to the drop rate somewhere, right? So, in desperate need of sleep, and more than a little upset that since I have work tomorrow, I won't be able to grind out the roughly 65 strange coins I need to buy what are basically the only year two exotics I wanted for all three of my characters, I've come up with a ridiculous theory. Halo 5 released recently. This means that Bungie has taken a hit to Destiny's player base, and after the terrible Xur we had last week, people were probably content to pass him up this week, right? My theory is this: Bungie made Xur sell the broken engrams and released the glass needles in the same week to drain our strange coins. They then nerfed the drop rate of strange coins, then made Xur sell all the best exotics for all three characters, plus what is arguably the best (or at least the most desired) weapon in the game, to force all the people who took a break from Destiny to play Halo 5 to come back and play it non-stop for two days, in the hope that they can get enough coins to buy all four items. This both bolsters the numbers for Destiny's weekend player base, and takes away from Halo 5's player base, allowing Bungie to say that Destiny is drawing more players than Halo 5, and even making people leave Halo 5 for Destiny. Anyway, I'm just playing around here, but since we can't 100% disprove the theory, it's possible that it may be true, right? Please, post your thoughts below. I'd like to hear what people think about this.
