This is an awful method (Destiny)

It boils down to "don't use three of coins more than once every 30 minutes" which we know is wrong. Even if they were 100% correct with their predictions, it's still only useful if you have some kind of shortage of 3s of Coins, which no one should. I haven't talked to Xur in 2 weeks and I still have 30 of the damn things.

I have no 3 of Coins, because I have no Coins. Either my luck getting Coin drops is awful, I don't play frequently enough, or I don't play the right things to get Coins. Either way, the vast (by my standards) reserves I built up when Year Two dropped ran out about a month ago. As it is right now, I didn't have enough to buy anything last week, and I won't have enough to buy anything this week, and I'm loathe to blow my pathetic stash on 3 of Coins only to have something good come along the following week and be missing the difference.

Crazy. I have oodles of strange coins (62, currently) and I pretty much only do the raid once per week, maybe 1 strike, and then PvP a bit. I get almost all of mine from either bounty turn-ins or engram decryption. I honestly don't remember getting them, but I just always have a crapton of them lying around. I spend my entire pile every week on 3 of Coins because I know I'm going to get a bazillion more strange coins the following week. Maybe they're a PvP reward more often than I think?
