Why are you mad that red death is being sold? Now people can be useful on crota hard.
Edit: I'm happy to see none of the people posting so far are salty. Everyone seems to either not care, or truly appreciate Xur selling it.
Edit2: seems like everyone is pretty content with him selling it! I see lots seeing it good because it benefits raid teams!
Edit3: Some...Where... Over the rainbow...
Honestly it's not even an arguable thing. You don't earn it through anything but Xur. That's it. It's over.
If you grind ROC or Crucible for it, then it's grind. Not earn.
If you get the strange coins necessary for purchase, it's earned.
Ex: if you're walking down the street and you find a 20$ Bill, you didn't earn it. You found it.
If you see a video game you want, and you work on something in order to obtain the money needed to buy it, then it's earned.

(Inner monologue) "Man, I don't really NEED a [red] Ferrari, but I hear they're pretty cool and wold love to have one if I could. I don't have one yet, and nobody has ever randomly given me one. I happen to have enough disposable income right now, and can always generate more. I think I'll just go ahead and buy one since they're currently readily available. I wonder if people will judge me for having one...well, whatever, I couldn't care less. I'm going to enjoy it and have fun with it all I want." ...something like that.
