Yes my ultimate question is, should Xur exist?
Throughout playing the game I have won most of my exotic items and it is irritating that the bastard ends up selling it the next week. I don't like the fact that Xur has been around enough that he has sold almost every exotic item, minus the bounties and PlayStation exclusives. There is no point is asking someone where they got their Red Death since it was sold two weeks ago.
Yes I have purchased some of my items from him but personally I wish he didn't exist. My reasoning behind this is that it takes the fun and excitement out of winning an exotic or having one not many people have.
My clan and I have come up with some ideas that I wanted to put out there.
- Xur should not show up as often and only carry one exotic weapon engram and one exotic armor engram or one engram covering armor and weapons. Each engram is completely random, so a gamble.
- Xur should sell exotic bounties specific to his own class of weapons. The bounties should take a while to complete and Xur should only show up every other week. So you pick up the bounty one visit and can only turn it in next visit. Can only hold one bounty at a time and the bounties are unknown at the time of purchase and completely random.
- Xur should have his own class of legendary gear, like raid gear, from the agents of the nine. The way this would work is to complete his exotic bounties in order gain reputation and purchase the gear like you would in the Iron Banner. Each bounty is worth 1 level of reputation. You can rank up to level 10 with him and each level, up to 9, sells 2 items each. The 10th level is reserved for purchasing a consumable, like the exotic shard, which will allow you to upgrade your gear and weapons to the next level. The next level meaning after an expansion is released but you must purchase these consumables prior to the expansions release because your reputation rank will reset at the same time. Xur should also have the ability to reforge your gear like the iron banner but not specific to the weapons.
Please leave your comments and ideas on this.

Should it have exist? No Should we remove it? No Reason? The game is already broken
-
No he shouldn't exist, yes it's too late to do anything
-
Yes of course he should exist.
-
-
-blam!- YES
-
Yes. RNG is cruel sometimes and it's nice to get a treat.
-
Then what will strange coins be here for.
-
If he was a permanent resident of the tower and sold weapons for 200 coins what would that change? You'd still feel like you earned it after saving up for a month, you won't get the rage of seeing last place or AFK get the Gjallarhorn, and it would remove the elitist view. This week I earned my 12 coins by running nightfall solo, and I want to use them to buy a Thunderlord. That is how it SHOULD be.

Edited by 만고: 3/26/2015 2:23:32 PMXur should sell legendaries as well each week. There are not enough exotics for people to not get mad when he sells one, so he should sell a bunch of legendaries with good perks, because those are what we need nowadays.
-
I don't know about this but I sure would like to know where he came from
-
Didn't read your post but [b][i][u]haaallllll no![/u][/i][/b]
-
I think that he should have only sold low tier exotics like arachnid helm and no backup plans
-
I just wonder what he's planning to do with all these strange coins and motes of light he's been getting. I also wonder wtf the nine is, besides Eris he's the darkest ( aesthetically) looking vendor, yet he doesn't come off as needing help, he's just a back alley hustler, so why 1. Does he have a huge amount of exotic guardian stuff in the first place ( looking beyond the simple mechanic of him being there for you to dump your grinds into a vendor ) 2. If in fact the 9 does pose a threat to the traveler in future dlc's then why would one of their agents fully stock its enemies with some of the best gear in the galaxy?
-
I do agree and do not like the fact a mere vendor gives you the best weapons in the game that you may or may not have. But I do realize he is there for the more casual player base so they can keep up with the hardcore players. At least that is what I think the reasoning behind having him is.
-
If the gave had a garunteed way to "earn" exotics, id agree. If every exotic had a bounty. But when people who have done more raids than me still wouldn't have half the collection i do without xur, i think taking him away would be wrong. He's the only failsafe to the craptastic random loot system.
-
Yes, he should. Whether people like it or not Xur serves to help players with very bad luck when it comes to the RNG system. That said, I would agree if every exotic weapon had a bounty, but they don't. Only 5 out of the 24 do. 6 if you count the Nechrochasm.
-
He should sell Nechrochasm
-
You can ask me where I got my red death from. Crota hard mode

F UCK U

No one cares

Is this a special snowflake gathering place?
-
If Bungie caved to the whiners and took Xur away, the whiners would just find something else to complain about. Relax and deal with it, Xur isn't ruining anything by selling your precious weapons, they still work just fine. Go find a better reason to feel special.
-
Didn't read past "I get irritated when he sells something I won" Just another nerd who wants people to be jealous of him.
-
Whether he should is completely irrelevant because he's not going anywhere.
-
Just simmer down.
