First off, let's look at the "Value" of exotics. So far the only known values on how much each are worth are represented in coins.
Secondly, as there is no trading system and only a currency system, the currency being either coins or marks to obtain exotics. Until there is a trading system the only value of an exotic is what it means to each individual player.
Third, you theory of a story behind exotics makes me laugh as most people's "earned" exotics are like the following:
>Oh I got the gorgon checkpoint and opened a chest, then got (X).
>Oh I joined at an Atheon checkpoint with all 32's and got (X)
>Oh I joined at the Death Singer Checkpoint and got (X)
>Oh I joined in to Crota Checkpoint and got (X)
>Oh I got a random engrams from (X) and got (X)
>Oh I Joined at the end of a nightfall/played a nightfall and got (X) ((Nightfalls being quite easy these days there is no way this could be epic)
>Oh I joined at the end of a strike in (X) Playlist and got (X)
>Oh I was grinding in the crucible/strike Playlist and got (X)
>Oh I joined at a crucible match at the last second and got (X)
So please do tell me how any of these are epic or unique in any way shape or form?
Sorry to say, but all you kids that think you are something special for getting a certain weapon through RNG need to grow the -blam!- up.
I got a hardlight and a hawkmoon and when Xur sells both, I am not even going to be mad. I am going to be happy that people get to enjoy these weapons as I have.

So you "earned" that twenty dollars you randomly found going into work. Actually lets say you found an iPhone while going into work. After the week goes by everyone receives their paychecks,for the hard work they've put in, and get their money (a form of currency) that they rightfully deserve. Your coworkers go out and by the same iPhone you've randomly found. The next day you prance around the office professing that all of your coworkers are poor scrubs who didn't actually earn their iPhones because they purchased them. SMH at your middle school logic... Well then again if you're a middle schooler you get a pass on this one because you haven't matured yet. Stop acting like a Maladjusted Snowflake. Oh look at me I received a random piece of gear and need to feel special... SMH...

Those all sound better than "bought some gun from some scrub".

You honestly make me laugh at how utterly idiotic and immature you are. Someone simply opening a chest after begging to get the checkpoint is honestly earning it more than working through a weekly heroic (which sometimes is a lot harder than the Nightfall mind you) to get strange coins to buy the exotics. It's called balancing things against RNG. That is why Vendors sell legendaries, but you can get legendaries from engrams as well. You wouldn't say that the person who earned the marks and bought a weapon with it didn't earn would you?

OP reminds me of those lousy admins in Battlefield. You know the type, claim to be PvP gods but add a ton of rules. Nothing to back up said claim but bullshit.

Reminds me of the days in Halo 3 when kids would challenge you to 1v1 match, but it could only be on their custom maps and gametypes.

Can I like this more than once? Bump bump bump! I feel the same way. I have every exotic weapon in the game and have played since launch. I could care less what weapon xur sells. I want everyone to have every exotic. It makes your fireteam that much better
