Personally, I think a Bungie employee has complete control of this, and they're laughing their ass off every time. It is hilarious how peeps get so worked up over Xur (and many other things). In the end, it's just a game, and I do have to remind myself sometimes. Although, I do find it tragic that Bungie has taken the path of ruining weapons because they can't or won't take the time to separate PVP from PVE, or alter the weapon stats for PVP only...It's sad. BTW..I have purchased from Xur, and will continue to. I think this week's offerings were a sign to wait for the DLC items.
