I'm confused at how buying something with an accumulated resource is not earning it. By this logic, I did not earn my copy of Destiny. I work 30 - 40 hours a week, I'm salaried so sometimes I work more, sometimes I work less. From that work I gain money, coins are money. About 6 months ago, I walked in to GameStop, handed them my debit card, linked to my bank account where I keep the money I have accumulated through working, and pre ordered Destiny. Apparently I shouldn't have my copy because it was welfare? charity? a handout? Pick your nonsense explanation as to why it is not earned. But, because I have a job, which pays me a set amount of money per week, much in the same fashion a weekly raid pays out strange coins weekly, I did not earn what I received because it was not randomly handed to me after I completed something? That doesn't seem like solid logic to me.
Getting an exotic from a single mission drop portrays a singular achievement, where you happened to have got lucky enough to be rewarded something good. You could have got nothing special, or strange coins. On the other hand, buying something with the coins portrays an accumulation of achievements and you used your rewards to get something you wanted, like when you buy a new game because you earned money for doing a job.
Though, when you boil it all down, I have to assume that the "earners" are just all terrorist. Clearly they are trying to destroy the capitalist structure which is the foundation of the American economy.
