I don't think I need to tell anybody that there's been a lot of salt thrown around recently by folks lamenting the fact that they had to "earn" their Haller Haller Get Gjaller, and now anybody can just buy one. The thing is though, by definition, if anybody that had one from a drop did actually earn it, they did so only by running the one activity that granted them the drop (and by extension getting to whatever level let them run that activity). That could have been the very first thing they had ever run that could grant you an exotic, and they'd have landed on the Jellyhorn. Nothing else affected the chances, and any belief to the contrary illustrates the Gambler's Fallacy. That led me to thinking, what did those of us who got Ballerhorn in a drop [i]really[/i] do to "earn" the (until recently) rarest of guns? So without further ado, I'd like to be the first to recount the legendary tale of how I "earned" my GGhorn. Comment with your "epic tale" and let's see just how hard we all had to work! ;) I hopped into a 5 man Normal Atheon fight and died during it. #Gjallarhorn #IEarnedIt tl;dr ITT share stories of any low effort "feats" you accomplished that gave you a Gjallarhorn drop, demonstrating the lack of a correlation between effort and reward, thus disproving that RNG counts as "earning" any more than Xûr does. Edit: Now with 20% more quotation marks so everyone gets the joke Edit 2: It occurs to me that in the original post I failed to mention the fact that for some, their YOLOhorn dropped after a particularly difficult feat, such that they really do feel that they earned theirs. My point is not to lessen the sense of accomplishment anyone felt after acquiring their Yellerhorn, but rather to highlight the fact that due to RNG, many of us "earned" ours in really easy/silly ways, and to invite the people who are sad/angry/disappointed at everyone's favorite Splatoon cosplayer to think about whether RNG really qualifies as earning something. Cheers, all, and welcome to the Wolfpack! Edit 3: Alterations to second paragraph regarding the description of what anyone who got a Gjally drop did that directly resulted in that drop.
