said this many times before and I'll say it again. the prevalence of thorn is due to it being a great gun AND easily acquired. do your bounties every day and you will get an exotic one. a choice of three from a pool of five gives a sixty percent chance of getting a thorn. thats why everyone has it and many especially newer players dont have other good guns to choose from. I'd love a red death, rng hasn't blessed me with one yet. same with gally or vex. but a thorn? had that within first couple weeks of owning the game. too late to undo it now but maybe thorb shouldn't have been a bounty weaponm or maybe the other bounty weapons should have been better. or perhaps the pool of bounties should have been larger. much larger.
