Xur is seriously tearing apart the community it is creating a divide between two sets of people
The guys who waited
And waited
And waited
For guns/armour to be sold by Xur
And
The people who won the lottery after playing a million times
Put it this way
The people that "Xurned" their Gjallarhorn (pronounced yallarhorn - confirmed by Carglemange or however you spell it) are the normal people of the world the work and wait until they have saved up monies to buy things (doing the heroic strikes every week and waiting for Xur to come each week). They are happy but still are looked down on by the rich (elitists who "earned" their Ghorn)
The people that "earned" their Gjallarhorn are the few who have won the lottery it's a very low chance but it still happens
They frown upon the people who have actually got their riches by more practical means (buying from Xur).
So my solution apart from removing Xur completely is:
Have him sell only year one exotics.
OR
Have parts of a gun scattered around and only Xur can assemble them.
The second option is sort of being implemented in TTK so that everyone only can get it one way and it doesn't promote elitism over people who have bought it from Xur and it also brings the community together to try and find the gun.
My fingers hurt
-
An extra chance at an exotic
-
Can xur sell the blavk hammer because i have raided so many times for that gun and never got it.

I just got on my girls lvl 28 account and looked to see if she had enough coins and she didn't. I ran a weekly solo and got 6 coins then I was missing one! Did a couple of strikes and managed to get the Ghorn for her all in a matter of 3 hours =D she earned her gally

It seems stupid because the so called "elitists" are the ones saying you can only have a maxed gally to join their fireteam, and they get mad because they got lucky and everyone else can just buy it. Personally I just bought it once and I'll save a slot for my other two characters.
