My biggest problem with Xurning
It isn't that you guys all get handed exotics that I lucked into through RNG. In fact, I don't really care about what you do or how you play.
It just gives me less to do in Destiny. And I enjoy the game and enjoy having things to play for in the game.
If you think about it, the raids are pretty easy. Takes maybe a couple full clears to get a full set of 32 armor. Add in the Iron Banner, and it's really not that hard to hit level 32. So once you're level 32, have a few raid clears under your belt, have all of the raid items you want, have spent your fair share of time running Crucible or Strikes with friends, just for kicks, completing bounties.. what is there left to do in Destiny?
Farm, because I guess that's what you're supposed to do in a loot-based game. It turns into a chore, and you farm because you tell yourself you want to have it all. Catch em all. "Complete" it.
But when Xur is eventually going to bring you every exotic trophy item that you don't yet have, why are you going to waste your time farming?
This is the big problem I, and many others are running into. There's no incentive to even farm anymore, because I know that Friday Xur RNG is my best shot at getting whatever I don't have.
Is that all there is to Destiny now?
It seems the system that they've created is:
- Spend a few weeks in the new DLC running a raid until you get everything you want
- Run the same handful of bounties for the 500th time to level those items
- Quit playing altogether, except for the occasional Tuesday Nightfall / Heroic and Xur Friday
Is this really what Bungie wants Destiny's legacy to become? 3 weeks of brand new DLC fun followed by some weekly chores and Xur RNG? Is this really a system that can be sustained, long term?

You are confusing the loot with content. That's your problem. If xur wasn't in the game it changes not a goddamn thing wrong with the current state of destiny. People who say "once I get "x" I have no reason to play anymore" is just the most bizarre reason to play a game I have ever heard. Let me get this straight, you are going to get Gally and then immediately shut your game off? Mission accomplished I guess. How about buy it from xur and just stop torturing yourself. Mostly people who say that are full of it anyways. Saying its "handing" people things just makes your whole post a little tongue in cheek. You clearly have resentment towards it either way. Put it to you this way, buying something from xur requires at least two strike completions regardless of the effort you put in. Getting something RNG theoretically requires minimal effort. For instance one of my friends got a legendary engram, from a dreg, which decrypted into....a gjallarhorn. Such earned, much wow. We all had a good laugh about it, a good salty laugh. Also there is no "uniqueness" or individuality in this game. Another thing xur does not change one bit. There is not enough gear. Simple as that. The only satisfaction I get from getting something RNG is that I got to use hard light and thunderlord a few weeks before a bunch of other people and save my coins. Big freaking deal. I just didn't have to wait.
