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.

3 Replieslisten, those are great points. I disagree only because I don't agree, I'd that makes sense. if they xured the gjallarhorn, many people would have it, but you would then have more people able to use more weapons and not being the gjallarhorn guy. for example, i have a 331 ice breaker. when we run crota, I'm usually in boomer duty. I'd like to ever not be. I'd like to run the sword, or dps the swordbearer. but i can't because so few people have the ice breaker. we can drop crota with primaries; I can hit him very hard with the hunger (maxed), so gjallarhorn isn't necessary, per se, but it is nice. if more people had the ice breaker, then i could more often play other roles in my fire team. this holds especially true in nightfalls and weeklies when ammo never drops (brain fart, can't remember that skull). i end up being the only one doing consistent damage because people are ruining out of ammo. yes, gjallarhorn is wicked. yes, I desperately want one. I'd max that mother out in a weekend; I have rocket telemetry waiting, gathering dust. i don't think they should keep xur from selling it. but they could make it 23 coins instead of 17. or only sell the 300 variety. ppl would bitch, but then again, when don't they, lol...
