I'm a day one player and only got my ghorn last week from xur and from my experience, that thing is a crutch it simply deals way too much damage. Is it a blast (pun intended) to use of course, but then it becomes almost pointless to use any other exotic efficiency wise. The past week that's the only exotic I have been using, and it makes things so much easier, but in all honesty I have missed using other exotics and I actually have more fun when equiping other weapons (mainly lord of wolves, for some reason I love that gun) and not just gallying the hell out of everything. With the news of it becoming irrelevant (its still to be determined how irrelevant as given the new light system) I was actually relieved as I could go back to switching weapons around and not feel self-conscious about loosing efficiency in the game. Bungie need to deliver this time around, from what I have read they will include better mechanics in battles and not just bullet sponges that made the ghorn shine even more so I am fine with it being left behind. I have played a lot of rpg games and having to ditch a weapon for a better one is part of the journey, this rpgesque characteristic of destiny it what makes it stand out from other fps and as such you have to deal with the fact that you will have to leave some things behind to upgrade to better more powerful gear, and honestly, at least for me it makes it even more exciting. However I disagree on some of the decisions, for example, raid exotics, vex and necrochasm, I think should be upgradable, these are in part trophy weapons that we should always be able to carry around at every level content, plus they are not game breaking guns so we wouldn't be playing not as intended. And come on, the necrochasm was useless before this coming buff, let us play with it a bit in end game content. As for some other guns being left behind, I don't care, we had a year to play with them, granted some rng luck but its time to move on; would I have loved to have the ghorn from the second week when xur first sold it? Of course but I'm happy to see what new things bungie have in store for us, I actually think they will deliver this time as the destiny beta seems to be finally over
