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.

SERIOUSLY, I DON"T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND. If you've ever said something like "You don't NEED a Gjallarhorn for blah blah blah blah", then you are one or more of the following: wrong, butthurt, in denial, or frustrated that you don't have one. If you're response is something along the lines of "I just don't care" or "I don't need one to play the game" then your response will automatically translate to "I am weak and the darkness will consume me". How do I know this? Because I am the Traveler, and I possess other worldly power the likes of which you could not even begin to comprehend.... especially if you're a Hunter, because Hunters are a little slow. To have a Gjallarhorn is to have an advantage. When you shoot your Gjally once at an enemy, only one rocket flies out, but with the combined damage inflicted by Wolfpack rounds, that one rocket has the damage of three rockets. If you have max heavy ammo with increased ammo capacity armor, then you have on your Guardian about 21 rockets worth of damage. Sure, you don't NEED a Gjallarhorn. But pushing back the darkness is a walk in the park if you have one. You think the darkness -blam!-s with me now that I have TWO Gjallarhorns? No, now I -blam!- with the darkness. When I am taking a stroll down Old Russia and I see the darkness building a sand castle, I approach the darkness and kick the shit out of that sand castle. I stomp it down all the way to sand castle hell! And the darkness just stares at me, with it's green beady eyes, and does nothing. Because it knows what I've got.
