If the weapon is over powered just nerf it. Having it as an exclusive RNG welfare weapon is rediculous.
If they want to have an over powered weapon then make it part luck and part skill in acquiring it. I feel they tried to do this with the milf-o-cast, but look what happened to that. Ppl cried and it got nerfed hard and even after the "buff" it is basically a solar auto rifle that runs out of ammo fast.
The other way to make an OP weapon earned would be to have it only acquired from a difficult exotic bounty.
I've been playing since day one. I didn't have the coin when Xur sold it the first week (like most ppl). I do have the ice breaker. I don't mind RNG, but do believe there should be a better path for ppl to aquire weapons. It is kind of a slap in the face when someone with little play time is awarded something like this for doing little to nothing or being carried (in pvp or pve).

They wont nerf it, cuz its not overpowered in pvp

Yeah, people aren't whining that "Gjallarhorn is 2 op!!!" But then once everyone gets a Gjallarhorn and they have to nerf it, then people will direct tons of rage at Bungie and it will altogether be terrible down the road. Honestly, if you ask me they should perhaps have Xur sell it sometime eventually simply to make the demanding part of the fanbase happy, but before that slip in some slight, minor nerfs to the Wolfpack rounds (like maybe a 50% debuff over time) to prevent an uproar against them. That's what I would probably do as a dev, or otherwise just not make Xur sell it.
