Youtubers are spearheading the gjallarhorn requirement.
There is a disturbing trend to PoE right now. [b][u]Every[/u][/b] post for a group on LFG sites has "must hav max gjallarhorn" or something to that affect. This was a rare occurrence, but occurred nonetheless, for Crota's End.
Viewing the popular YouTuber channels has revealed one consistent trend. Every PoE strategy video highlights the gjallarhorn quick kill method, rarely do they actually go into detail about the actually fight without gjallarhorn. This sets a precedent to the community. Why try when you can 30-40 seconds success?
Monkey see, monkey do.
Edit: I would like to clarify that I am not against the gjallarhorn tactic nor am I saying down with the gjallarhorn tactic. I'm saying that these youtubers/streamers are the pro athletes for Destiny. Back when I was a kid everyone wanted to be like Mike, this is no different than with youtubers and streamers.
Not everyone has been blessed, like I have, by RNGesus and has a gjallarhorn. There are many being left out due to the imitation game. I don't think these youtubers understand that their videos lead to a prejudice in the game.

4 RepliesHaving seen many of these videos, I can say those who are looking for quick kills are teams I don't want to play with. They're simply loot farming, and I want to enjoy a good fight. I'm a mediocre player, so it pains me I can't help anyone right now, but having a tool for fast kills isn't how I want to play the game. I saw a video of 3 Hunters taking on the final boss and not a single Gally was used. Fatebringer and Icebreaker were the two primary weapons used to take down the final boss. Sure, rockets were used, but mostly to clear out the adds. If this team can do it in less than 12 minutes (lvl 32, I believe it was) without Gally, then consider the source and determine for yourself how you want to play the game.
