I am a level 29 hunter. I have 10 exotic weapons. I got them from raid/bounty/drop/crucible. I have 5 exotic armour pieces. 4 of them were drops and 1 was bought from Xur.
You need to stop hating on Xur. I got my exotic weapons easily. The only ones I worked for are the bounty ones. I got most from drops and I am not talking about hard people. I like to do the public events to try and get ascendants and I happen upon legendary drops from the level 2s I kill while waiting. Did I work for my exotic weapons? Absolutely not!
Now the people who are unlucky, have to work for strange coins to get these weapons from Xur. They have to do the weekly. Plenty of people do not have multiple guardians. They cannot do the weekly on 2 accounts on the hardest level to get enough strange coins. I know plenty of people who save up strange coins from the easy level, week after week just to be able to buy one exotic weapon/armour. Why should you make them feel bad? What right do you have?
Some people work for a living. They cannot grind (my step dad for example). He has 1 guardian. He has 2 kids to take care of (myself not included because I live alone). He has a job that he goes to. He spends time with the family. He cannot grind for hours. So why is he not allowed to get 3 strange coins a week for 4 weeks (and hope to get some from engrams) to buy an exotic? Stop being jealous. Let these people have their Xur and their exotics
Now if Xur sells Vex Mythoclast, I will lose my shit.

[quote]Now if Xur sells Vex Mythoclast, I will lose my shit.[/quote] Why? This goes against the rest of your post. What if your friend really wants the Vex Mythoclast, but can't get to a high enough level or find a fire team to run Vault on Hard and hope to get lucky. Why don't you think he should be able to bank his 3 strange coins a week, for 8 weeks, to buy it from Xur? Why are you okay with him having access to potentially any other exotic, but not Vex Mythoclast? I'm not saying that Xur should sell VMC, but the reason this would upset you is pretty similar to the reasons many people don't like Xur in the game. There are differences yes. I'm personally torn about it. I like being able to acquire exotics if luck isn't favoring me, but I do have to admit that when I do get one, I don't feel nearly as excited as I would if he wasn't in game. I can see why it's controversial.
