lemme tell you a little story
way back when pre DB I used lfg to find a match for the weekly 28 as it gave the most coins. it was phogoth and i was level 27, got matched up with a couple of chill 28 guys. we went through it and at the end didn't need to use te shrieker room cuz we were mobile enough. i died constantly due to being lower level but the other guys didn't really mind as they could handle it. finished. postgame screen showed i only had 45 kills compared to their 89 and 104. we all got our coins, but i also got a purple engram. it decoded into gjallarhorn. now tell me how I earned that gun by getting carried like a backpack more than someone who strolled through several weeklies solo with no problem getting coins. [spoiler]i respect xur more than rng honestly[/spoiler]

This is actually a really good point, in my opinion the only way to actually earn an exotic is to complete exotic bounties. Other than that everything is RNG so people who say they earn their weapons actually just really on RNGesus being generous
