How did you "earn" YOUR Gjallarhorn?
I don't think I need to tell anybody that there's been a lot of salt thrown around recently by folks lamenting the fact that they had to "earn" their Haller Haller Get Gjaller, and now anybody can just buy one.
The thing is though, by definition, if anybody that had one from a drop did actually earn it, they did so only by running the one activity that granted them the drop (and by extension getting to whatever level let them run that activity). That could have been the very first thing they had ever run that could grant you an exotic, and they'd have landed on the Jellyhorn. Nothing else affected the chances, and any belief to the contrary illustrates the Gambler's Fallacy.
That led me to thinking, what did those of us who got Ballerhorn in a drop [i]really[/i] do to "earn" the (until recently) rarest of guns?
So without further ado, I'd like to be the first to recount the legendary tale of how I "earned" my GGhorn.
Comment with your "epic tale" and let's see just how hard we all had to work! ;)
I hopped into a 5 man Normal Atheon fight and died during it.

tl;dr ITT share stories of any low effort "feats" you accomplished that gave you a Gjallarhorn drop, demonstrating the lack of a correlation between effort and reward, thus disproving that RNG counts as "earning" any more than Xûr does.
Edit: Now with 20% more quotation marks so everyone gets the joke
Edit 2: It occurs to me that in the original post I failed to mention the fact that for some, their YOLOhorn dropped after a particularly difficult feat, such that they really do feel that they earned theirs. My point is not to lessen the sense of accomplishment anyone felt after acquiring their Yellerhorn, but rather to highlight the fact that due to RNG, many of us "earned" ours in really easy/silly ways, and to invite the people who are sad/angry/disappointed at everyone's favorite Splatoon cosplayer to think about whether RNG really qualifies as earning something.
Cheers, all, and welcome to the Wolfpack!
Edit 3: Alterations to second paragraph regarding the description of what anyone who got a Gjally drop did that directly resulted in that drop. Also added tl;dr

I said this on another thread by a "xur helps scrubs" ahole. [quote] I did. I ground out 17 sc in 1 night with what little time I had available to play, even completing the weekly at max (this particular strike never done that hard before) and ran PoE a few more times. Finally scraped together the needed 17 and EARNED my Gjally. Blam you! Maybe it was easier for me than to just get lucky, but I EARNED it. Stfu. Oh, and the engram gave me ACD Feedback Fence, something I wanted for a while... So there! Did i earn that? I earned a chance to roll for it at 23 motes... [/quote]
-
I RNGed mine. One from deathsinger, one from crota and one from nightfall
-
Gorgon Maze Exotic chest x 1 PoE 34 chest x 1 Nightfall against Omnigul x 1 Oh yeaaahhhhh!!!
-
I EARNED mine by buying it with my hard EARNED strange coins Not my RNG luck
-
I did 2 lvl 30 weekly's and a 32 weekly. Only way I was gqonna be able to get it so I did it. Recently got back into Destiny at the beginning of the year when I bought a ps4 lol none of my friends play on ps4 so no one to raid with. So no earning in a sense that I raided or grinded hundreds of hours lol
-
You probably won't believe this but I got gjallarhorn a day before he sold it with my friend from the nightfall. I got it on my final character (my warlock)
-
Found it in your mom
