Earning enough strange coins isn't work? You'd rather the chances of getting something be 100% random? I'm still not understanding what you define as "work". I work my ass off for coins, simply so I can buy what Xûr has, if it suits my preferred class/subclass and play style - for example, I skipped the Saint-14 helm a week or two back, because I prefer to play striker. Saved the coins and bought the Helm of inmost Light the following week, along with the icebreaker. I'm infinitely more of an asset to my fireteam and raid groups as a result. I got the Monte Carlo, Alpha Lupi, Red Death and Suros from random drops and leveling up the cryptarch. If another member of my squad were to purchase any of those, I'd be happy that my team were now better equipped. I think what you really mean to say with this post, is that you no longer feel special, if other people have access to the same gear as you. Despite the chances of you getting said gear, were completely and utterly random in the first place (ergo; not 'earned').
