If Xur is selling something that I need or something that I would like to have, I would buy it. Just now I bought the Warlock chest, but I would still prefer if he didn't sell this stuff in the first place. Xur defeats the purpose of RNG and even though you do not earn anything in RNG because it is random, things like Xur destroy that "feeling" you have when you are fairly rewarded.
This morning I saw Xur is selling the Bones of Eao. I got those boots after having the toughest Skola match I have ever had (it was my first Skolas fight without the burns and my third time overall, so I still didn't know the "right" strategy and having lightswitch on made things worse). They were actually the armor piece I was hoping to get, and it felt so good seeing them after I opened the chest. I got those boots because I beat Skolas and opened the chest. Now people will get them because they did some weekly strike. This is not right. Yes, I do agree that people who deserve to have them (and other items like the Gjallarhorn) should have them, but now people who haven't even done Skolas are going to get them. This is what bothers me. Xur has to go. The Gunsmith can sell the heavy ammo synthesis for the same price during weekends. Remove Xur or have him sell stuff that do not drop in Nightfalls or end game activities.

Edited by Gooch_McGrundle: 8/7/2015 3:29:20 PMMany of the exotic rolls you can get in a week are only for exotic guns, the only exotic armor rolls im aware of are the PoE chest and night falls. Since those have such a large loot table to choose from it's a pretty diluted exotic armor roll. That's why I'm okay with Xur carrying so much exotic armor so often. However I wouldn't be opposed to the items being more expensive, especially since you can convert currencies now. Many players have an overwhelming amount of strange coins...
