Instead of saying "earn", we need to start saying "receive". That way, people won't be getting in arguments or calling each other "scrubs".
Ex:
[u]Guy 1:[/u] "Yeah, I bought my Icebreaker today from Xûr".
[u]Guy 2:[/u] "Nice! I earned mine from the Crucible".
[u]Guy 1:[/u] *silence, feels a bit insulted*
Now, let's replace "earn" with "receive"!
[u]Guy 1:[/u] "Yeah, I bought my Icebreaker today from Xûr".
[u]Guy 2:[/u] "Nice! I received mine from the Crucible".
[u]Guy 1:[/u] *not hurt, and probably goes off to grind some Control*
Problem = Solved with kindness
Try also using "obtain", "got", or "collect". It works!
-
I use obtain.
