Destiny is a great game, with a great community. I have enjoyed this game more than any other in the last few years and have greatly enjoyed grouping up with guardians both random and friend. Destiny players are among the best, most helpful, most inclusive I have encountered.
As someone who loves this game I am sad to have observed over the last few weeks that Gjallarhorn is dividing the community.
People are being kicked from LFG-type groups for not having it. PoE bosses are extremely difficult without it. PoE tactics are being developed which solely rely on it. Scheduling clan runs is difficult to accommodate those without it. Worst of all it is encouraging elitism and division, and runs contrary to your previously stated aims of not making one weapon overpowered as to dominate the game.
Please either make Gjallarhorn available to all, nerf it slightly or release / buff other weapons to provide an equivalent alternative . Don't allow the legend to spoil the game.

the ghorn is not over powered really, yes it is the best rocket launcher in terms of single target damage. However, it does take an exotic slot which makes it balanced. Bungie can't do any thing about how the community plays this game. You nerf ghorn and then you will get something like "normal VoG level 34 only" or some other bullshit. People will always try to find what they think will make their game the easiest, and then require it.
