Gjallarhorn is dividing the community
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.

It's a really tough situation we're in right now. You're right about everything you said. This weapon has put a massive rift in the community. But they can't nerf it. They just can't. It's power is what makes it so standout. But for that reason, it would also be a bad idea for everyone to have it. It would break PvE like the last word breaks PvP. Everyone having Gjallarhorn would make any boss fight an absolute joke. People getting rejected from LFG groups for not having Ghorn is a bunch of shit. That's not fair to exclude those who haven't been blessed by RNG. But at the same time, it's a smart tactic for LFG! You're trying to build the most effective team with as little information as possible, so of course a large percentage of teams will have this requirement. Idk I really do see both sides. Honestly, I think the best solution is to only make it available to top tier players. Maybe you should only be able to wield it with 3000+ grimoire? Or maybe tie it to a super difficult solo quest? Maybe you could only get it from a vendor at the lighthouse? Or something that would make a much smaller percent of players own it, but only give it to the top players. This way, it would give us something further in the end game to chase, and less people would own it, so requiring your LFG team to have Gjallarhorns would become an unreasonable request. Short of a solution like that though, idk how it gets fixed.
