I'm not commenting to be persuaded, nor am I commenting to persuade anyone else. fnky143 made a claim and I popped in to corroborate it. What has occurred since has been you sharing your opinion about the [b]facts[/b] (there is a history of stock; Deej's statements) that we do have, and me sharing mine. I'm ok with that kind of discussion in a public forum and I didn't assume that you wouldn't be as you engaged me. Now for a few additional, less relevant points: I never claimed or hinted that the stock was picked for funsies. I said that that we can only assume why this may have been done, if it was done. It could have been necessary for him to have a stock history, we don't know one way or the other. Unless Bungie shares the process behind Xur's selections, we cannot know. My point was that, [i]contrary to the popular assumption, the mere existence of a history is not proof that it was randomly generated[/i]. The only way for that conclusion to even make sense is if one also assumes that Bungie wouldn't want to take the time necessary to create that stock manually.....which is based on another assumption regarding how much time creating the stock would take. All I'm doing is rejecting other people's assumptions because I don't find sufficient evidence for them. No one in any position to make the claim that it is RNG has done so - all we have as a shared hill of assumptions at the top of which some sit and shout down on anyone that dares to disagree with them.
