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 RepliesHow I got my Gally. Boring ass weekday, nothing to do. Getting pretty tired of Destiny so I decided to just max out my Vanguard rep on my Titan for mats. I usually leave if the strike is Valus Ta'aurc, Omnigul, or Black Garden, because I usually get even more bored and will probably resort to going afk and freeloading. But, this time I decide to stay. Why not? I have nothing better to do. Getting pretty sick of this repetitive BS. So, I'm killing the three guards mid strike and I melee a psion, and I see a legendary engram pop up on my screen. I hesitate and get really excited. I finish four more strikes. Archon priest four -blam!-ing times in a row, and a special weapon legendary engram drops. I usually wait to turn in my engrams to the cryptarch when I max out my rep, but I get SUPER anxious. I turn in my blue engrams first, rare shit of course. Then the special. Two to the morgue. Ok, I can live with that. Have all the exotic specials anyway. One left. Legendary. Heavy. Weapon. Engram. I take a deep breath, and with as much confidence as I could muster, I simultaneously press X to decrypt my engram and scream "GJALLARHORNNNNNNNN!!!" The screen is loading. The blank square rotating on the right hand side. "New Grimoire Card Acquired." Guess what I get. A mother. -blam!-ing. GJALLARHORN. I get so wet, secreting sweat and bodily fluids from every pore of my body know to man. I'm drenched as if I just came out of the swimming pool. I'm teeming in tears. I finally got it. After playing Destiny since the midnight launch and short 5 strange coins when XUR sold it. I have one of my most wanted exotics. Bless you RNGesus.
