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.

6 RepliesListen Up OP. All of the reasons you wrote IS EXACTLY why the weapon SHOULD BE AVAILABLE! No one wants to spend hours fighting the exact same bosses over and over and over and over for more time than necessary. People want to get in, get the rewards and get out. This will not make the game any less fun because the rocket launcher is not as over powered as it was made out to be on these forums. It makes battles slightly easier and is not "cheese" worthy. Even if it was cheese worthy, so what? Take moment to look at what the black hammer does to boss fights like sepkis and the archon priest. You can finish them in minutes/seconds That is the fun part! If a weapon exists that makes game play of repetitive missions more efficient, then everyone should get an opportunity to own said weapon. If you feel strongly about keeping the difficulty level high then don't use said weapon(s) if owned.
