I was leaked info and I want to apologize to you all because what I'm about to say will undoubtedly piss you off. But it's all part of the game and story progression, and it has to do with that one item everyone is craving.
[spoiler]Ghallarhorn[/spoiler]
[spoiler]Don't believe me? Dont care.[/spoiler]
So basically the premise is to lure new players into the world of Destiny. By releasing the virus, SIVA (Yes Siva is a virus I know. Crazy, right?) All infected players will indeed not be reset, as rumored. They will be in "captivity" until they are rescued by a player [i]without[/i] the virus.
The amount of times it takes for you to be rescued, will be the same as how many viruses you have. Thus, if you have all 5, you will need to be rescued 5 times. Sucks, right? Well its all part of the game. The player who rescues you will recieve their ghallarhorn. Whichever one you have "earned" (see what i did there?)
Now I am told that the time you will be captive will seem relatively short, because everyone wants their G-Horn. So fear not, Guardian. Others will be searching for you. We have each others backs. That's what we do. We have this obstacle because our actions demand consequences, like so many often forget. We chose to spread the virus, almost gluttonously (real word?) And now, we eradicate it.
So team up with old friends or new. I'll be one of the first to rescue one of you. I look forward to year 3 being a fresh start.
Don't ask me for sources, and thanks for hearing me out.
Edit: Spread the word, guardians

Why would they gate ghorn behind that ? It's earned from a quest line. Unless they just all of the sudden flipped script within the last few days. I'm gonna go with, they're trying to gate faster progression by not allowing infected players into the reef or the tower. Which is bullshit either way.
