Yeah, no hand outs here. I actually earned my Red Death.
I earned it because I had to grind the weekly multiple times every week, and bore myself to tears in an attempt to get coins. I also had to grind out the hours of the days, weeks, and months anxiously awaiting Xur to have red death again.
So if you think that's less of a grind than getting lucky on the roll of a rng die, congrats, you are what's wrong with this game.
Thank you, and good day.

Anyone who thinks either grinding for coins or rng drops are not equal to each other in terms of "earning" items, are what is wrong with this game. To put it simply, if you possess any exotic/legendary/rare/uncommon/common gear in this game, you've earned it. Congratulations.
