However... if everyone gets ghorn, then there won't be people to complain that ghorn is op, which is what (historically) gets guns nerfed. Also, a group will from (let's call them "weapon hipsters" or, "whips" for short) who will stop using the ghorn simply on the bases of "everyone has one". This also helps with weapons not being nerfed. You see, the whips will actually convince each other that the ghorn sucks and is unusable, some will go as for as dismantling theirs, if only to say "I dismantled that pos." The whips always create the needed equilibrium within a system, because they hate what the majority love, and gamers love what is op.
My point is this, when something becomes "common" it saves itself from scrutiny. Only when a thing is rare and desired, does it then appear under the microscope.

Edited by jsteelfex: 1/2/2015 8:41:28 PMXur sold suros twice, so it became pretty widespread. Yet there were people who, for some reason beyond me, didn't buy the best auto rifle in the game. They in turn bitched, and then suros was nerfed. The same will happen to gjallarhorn. There will be people who won't buy it for whatever reason. Then will come the bitching, then the nerfing. Not to mention, the gun is insanely OP, and once bungie sees people flying through everything, they will nerf it.

True. But you've mentioned two things that can't be changed: people not buying what Xûr sells and bungie seeing game stats. Neither of those things are a reason for Xûr not to sell somthing. The complainers who don't by it, are going to start (and already have been) complaining about "this guy told me to go hide am let him take care of it because I don't have a ghorn, that gun need a buff so everyone can be important" bla bla bla. Bungie already knows about the "ghorn effect". I see a nerf coming on the horizon anyway, to be honest. Xûr selling it won't open bungies eyes.

I agree, I just think that when xur sells it, it will expedite the nerfing process.
