why would you want rid of Xur? he's the ONLY vendor that sells anything good!
English
-
He's also the vendor that has stopped people playing the content instead players are just waiting until Friday to get raid gear that should be earnt, not given away. I mean keep if he's going to sell exotics that cannot be obtained by any other means but selling raid gear has to stop.
-
Edited by satanicsweetcorn: 10/30/2014 1:28:09 PMer.. he's not selling raid gear, he only sells exotics that you can get via RNG system he's also important for those who don't have that much time to play and earn the stuff. just because someone has a job, they shouldn't be allowed an Exotic? Elitist logic that caters only to hardcore players is not the way to go.
-
Thank you. Some of us who have jobs and families might only have time to play a weekly & do other things to amass enough strange coins/motes of light to shop at Xur *maybe* twice a month. It's called exotic gear and not raid gear for a reason.
-
I have a job and I have exotics, it seems you just used that as justification. Welp
-
The exotics I've had from him so far have all been VOG exotics..this has stopped me raiding. Elitist logic works and has worked for so many games. People who don't have time to play religiously like the elites always find themselves trying to beat content, the way destiny is atm there is no point in beating the hardest content, just wait for xur he'll have it.
-
Says the guy that can't even hit 30... And you can get all the raid exotics from the nightfall or even legendary engrams if your lucky enough. Getting rid of xur is one of the dumbest things I've read since the release of destiny. Congrats!!
-
"Can't even hit 30" is there something besides luck helping you get raid gear that I'm missing? Please share
-
the stuff he sells is RNG as well. and there are plenty of "filthy casuals" that don't have the time or resources to do raid or even nightfall. without Xur, they would be punished into having lesser gear because of factors that are out of their control (family commitments etc.) in what universe is that fair? getting rid of Xur would reduce server numbers, not increase the number of people going into try hard mode. I'm sorry sir/madam, but your argument is flawed.
-
So let's put everyone in the same boat as filthy casuals, remove all sorts of progression by adding a vendor that pretty much sells progression. The reason we've ran out of content is because of xur giving us that boost through content
-
sorry, but if you are going to use "filthy casuals" literally, I will not waste my time arguing with you. good day.
-
Pfft it's true, I'm probably close to being one atm so I will use it literally and I'm not afraid to say that this game has been catered to people who don't have time to play and this is the reason why there isnt enough content. Every game I've played there is always something to separate the two and in destiny there isn't. No true skill rating. No gear that separates the two. And an Npc that sells progression. Them 3 things are why destiny is failing miserably. Xur is probably the most damaging because people want a shortcut through the grind. Making everyone equal removes the sense of accomplishment and making the game very dull and boring. Before xur sold ice breaker I'd hear of many challenging stories on how they got it and now? None.
-
as I was explaining to the other gent, He may not be of much use to you, but there are a great many who will still fast-track. You believe it's wrong, and you are entitled to your own opinion, as I am to mine, but one fact remains; as long as there is demand for Exotics (which there always will be), Xur is going to come to the Tower every Friday and make you mad.
-
Because as you can tell from last week, xur is the shittiest thing they've done. They've taken the rarity of exotics away from them so that EVERYONE could have the same gun someone spent countless hours on trying to get and finally got it
-
Edited by satanicsweetcorn: 10/30/2014 1:27:42 PMjust because he sells repeat items doesn't make him useless. if he sells the Suros again, I'll be surprised. Xur is needed by many players whether you like it or not.
-
Yes "needed" because its the easy way out of having to grind for stuff, same with the queens stuff. People bitched about being stuck so they give EVERYONE legendary gear.
-
I like xur, I've found most of my exotics but you need xur to complete exotic bounties. An you still have to grind if you want to have strange coin. Also, xur doesn't sell raid guns or gear. The exotics you find in a raid are a rare 2% drop I believe. But xur would never sell vision of confluence or something 100% raid specific. So the grind goes on. I do feel you on the exclusive feeling you get with a exotic diminishes after xur sells it. However, if this is going to be a universe expanded on, where gear is added, in a few years the guns we have now will hold true to there exotic name tag. Maybe xur should retire certain weapons he has sold multiple times.
-
sigh.. tell you what, I'll give you the easy way out, because I'm a nice guy. here's the Idea; DON'T BUY FROM HIM. don't look at what he has for sale, and don't inspect randoms who have been near him. then you will be in a state of knowing you have a valuable gun you have worked for, which is what you appear to be after. despite his wares, Xur is still just an option, and an option can be accepted or declined as you see fit. but it is quite childish just to say "get rid of him" simply because you don't believe in trying to get things the easy way. there has to be features that cater to EVERYONE. if you don't like it, don't buy from him. it really is that simple. also think of it this way (if you can); if you have a weapon that you treasure highly, and have fun using, would you not want other people to feel the same level of enjoyment as you?
-
Cur shouldn't cater to "EVERYONE" we need 3x higher Strange Coin prices on armour and 4x prices on weapons as to not over populate the game with extremely good gear, this would provide actual goals to work towards.
-
that's not a bad compromise. a slight price increase wouldn't hurt the majority of gamers. at the end of the day, I only buy stuff that I want, or I take a look and think "naah" like last week. I do agree that there should be some Exotics that can only be obtained through RNG or Raids. I still post what he sells on here when I can, just to try and halt the flood of "where's Xur" comments, which will be buried amongst the anger on here tomorrow.
-
Yes as a matter of fact I do, my patience and time was the first exotic I got and it came from an engram before the guaranteed legendary or exotic came from them. It Is a gun I rarely see so yeah I would be pretty pissed off if he sold it to everyone, like I said its not why he's there, its the rarity of the items he sells
-
as I said though, if you didn't actually know what he was selling, you would, in your own world, be the only one with that weapon. I have both Earned and Bought Exotics, and I agree that there is a great satisfaction when the RNG lucks out and gives you that Exotic, but I am simply trying to convey the point of view of those who can't, for whatever reason, earn them the hard way. besides, if they got rid of him, do you have any idea how many people would complain? some men just want to watch the world burn..
