I am glad Xur didn't have the Gjallarhorn, here's why.
Ok, so let's start with the basic logic everybody already understands.
1) Xur sells Gjallarhorn
2) Everybody is happy and buys Gjallarhorn
3) People spend the weekend upgrading Gjallarhorn
4) By Tuesday, everyone has an upgraded Gjallarhorn- at least with Wolfpack Rounds.
Sounds good so far, right?
Well, let's continue.
5) Weekly Heroic/Nightfall- both jokes, people just use Gjallarhorn and slaughter the boss/the adds quickly and painlessly.
6) VoG - groups kill the Templar instantly, groups kill Atheon within 1-2 time's vengeance. So VoG is a joke.
7) Crota's End- Gjallarhorn on shriekers, every group gets hidden chest free (wasn't hard anyways). Gjallarhorn at Deathsinger, wizards dead in 30 seconds, another 30 seconds shriekers are dead, another 30 seconds to a minute and Deathsinger is dead. People use Gjallarhorn to instantly take down Crota's shield, and use Gjallarhorn on adds+oversoul. Crota fight gets even easier.
8) Vanguard Tiger/Roc - More Gjallarhorn spam, more instant killing bosses.
9) Daily Heroics - these were already pretty easy, made even easier with infinite Gjallarhorns.
Clarification: so now Everybody has Gjallarhorn, it's not special any more, everything in the game becomes a joke. Bungie is either forced to nerf Gjallarhorn or make everything in the game 5 times harder. New players would be angry because they missed the opportunity, and many will stop playing/not buy the game. Nobody has any reason to use an exotic other than Gjallarhorn unless its something like the Hawkmoon, Suros, or Mythoclast. Game is unbalanced, and the end result will be Gjallarhorn being ruined for everyone - or some other unhappy result.
[b]Tl;Dr: Game unbalanced, not fun, Gjallarhorn gets nerfed after a week/everything gets crazy health+damage buffs and everyone is sad.[/b]
Well that's my 2 cents on the matter. What are your opinions on the topic?
>inb4 "you just feel special because you have Gjallarhorn": I have opposed the prospect of Xur reselling Gjallarhorn since it first arose several months ago. I only got a Gjallarhorn last week.

2 Repliesdude if you think a Gjallarhorn will break this game your just blind or stupid. my team beats crota and atheon raid all in under an hour with only 3 Gjallarhorn. in which we dont use for the whole time. with ice breaker i can solo nightfalls with that gun alone. i can do that with a Gjallarhorn unless i use countless ammo packs. if you think the nightfalls are hard your doing somthing wrong. me and friends use them for glimmer farming easiest way. this weeks raid we can complete in 10-15 mins and obtain around 3500-4000 glimmer and we use vex or fusion rights with solor damage over Gjallarhorn. for roc strikes they are easy if you have two friends which i hope you have by now you can complete them fast then a random group. i dont have a Gjallarhorn and yes i would like one but i not afraid of xur selling it and ohhh no game went to shit. i love this game put it has its flaws. but saying how one boss killing only gun will break the game, you either havnt played this game as much as others or have gotten lucky to obtain value guns and dont wanna see other obtain them in an easier fashion.
