I think I understand why bungie decided that xûr will sell the almighty Gjallarhorn
You know how people always complain at LFG that the requirements are something like "must be level 34. Fully upgraded gally" and more. Well, now nobody will be kicked for not having a gun- which is a stupid reason to be kicked in the first place.
Bungie is starting to deal with the unbalance-ness of this gun.
The other reason is that the nerf, and now everyone has it- it can be, it [u][i]will be[/i][/u] overshadowed by new guns from TTK.
So what are your thoughts?
I personally have gotten 6 gjallarhorns in all my 500 hours (I think) of playtime. I dismanteled 4, using only 1, and the other sits in my vault- unupgraded.

You are actually quite correct. This is explained in the patch notes for the upcoming weapon balancing update. If you skip right to the end to the entry for Gjallahorn you will see that the 'nerf' is a response to Bungies disappointment in observing in the lfg forums how many players were being excluded from fireteams because they didn't have a Gjally. It was only a matter of time before this elitist snobbery led to a Gjallahorn fire sale. Although I was expecting it to be the first Friday after TTK came out. As a day 1 player who's lucky enough to be in a clan, but unlucky enough not to be able to get the big G until last Friday, I can attest to the fact that there not a single game mode in Destiny that needs every fireteam member to be wielding Gjallahorn in order to complete it. Except maybe Skolas, but I haven't had time to do that one yet, so I can't speak from experience. Tactics. Teamwork. Communication. Way more essential than one weapon in a game that has dozens.
