For those of us having played this game for days, weeks, months, and throughout this past year, we have achieved much. And what greater achievement is there than to get an exotic that's amazing and awesome and one you never had before? Well, with the sale of Gjallarhorn by Xur once more, that sense of achievement for the many of us that have invested a lot of time into this game for those drops has been taken away. The hundreds of people with their brand new G-horns did not earn it. They did not get to blow their friend's speakers out in exultant joy over getting the drop of drops. The ultimate weapon.
And they will never truly get to experience what it can do because it, like many of the other good things in this game, will be taken away from us and nerfed. I hope, for the sake of much of your gaming community Bungie, that The Taken King will live up to the hype you've given it, because for many of us, it's your last chance to prove that Destiny will truly help you become legend.

I know what you mean about the excitement of getting a drop like ghorn. But it isn't really "earned". My brother and I have been playing since the beta and he has watched me get more than one ghorn while he got stuck with ascendant materials and strange coins. The luck isn't the same for everyone. Just be happy for your fellow guardians who get to experience the greatness of this weapon before the nerf.
