So, lemme give you a bit of background. I'm a launch player and I put a good amount of time into this game. Between my three characters I have about 500-600 hours logged on Destiny and that's before I took a break. I got to that point that most people come to when you play a lot of Destiny and I decided in January that I would chill for a while and maybe come back when House of Wolves came around.
So today's really the first day I've legitimately played Destiny since January and I thought, you know, I'll start with some Iron Banner to get back into the flow of things. Now, I just came from Bloodborne so I could barely even slide, and, inevitably, I get my ass handed to me. 0.41 K/D I think it was - mind you I was usually top of the leaderboards in my prime Destiny days - and what do I see in the end-of-the-match ticker on the bottom left? Ghallarhorn.
So I'm like "god damn some dude got really lucky" - because in aaaaaaaaaaaaaall my time playing Destiny and raiding and Nightfalling and Striking and Crucibling and Iron Bannering, never had I gotten a Ghallarhorn. But who got that Jellyhorn? Out of all the players who spanked me and danced on my Dinkle, of all people... me.
GODDAMMIT! The one situation I didn't want a Ghally to pop up by my name, it does. And hey, I'm an honorable player. I think good players deserve good rewards and not so great players need a new toy once in a while to help keep 'em going, but I'm a seasoned vet, dammit.
I've taken the entire hard raid down (save for Crota) multiple times. I've carried trash teams through entire games of Crucible by myself. I've legitimately two-manned in the Vault of Glass. That's when you don't need that "loser luck" that people often get so angry about, but that's what I got.
So I've come to you for guidance. What am I to do? Do I keep this Ghally as a trophy for all I've done in this game so far? Or do I dismantle it for not earning it through feats of might? I leave the decision to you. I'll let you decide whether I should keep or dismantle ol' Crota Crusher; and whichever has the most votes by May 3rd at 10:00 pm, I'll carry out that order. And feel free to speak your mind on the whole concept of "earning" things and "loser's luck" and all that fun stuff. I'd love to hear what you have to say.
Well thank you for your time, I know it was a long read. Stay strong, stay hungry, stay star-bound, Guardians.

After two while days of voting, trash-talking, and kind words, the official decision is that I keep it with an overwhelming 1,140 votes in favor of saving ol' Ghallarhorn, and a mere 141 to dismantle. Thank you everybody for being a great audience, I really appreciate it. Peace out m8s

[b]TL;DR VERSION.[/b] I finally got ghorn but I got it in crucible and I did bad, should I go full retard and dismantle GHORN, or should I let go of my pride and keep it.
-
You took an ass whooping for it at least, some people got it in a crota chest and say they earned it. Just keep it. And next make a tl;dr...I kid, I kid
-
Just keep it.
-
Too long did not read
-
Oh just shut up and keep the damned thing.
-
keep it you earned it
-
You won't dismantle it either way
-
I'd keep it. RNG is stupid like that... You shouldn't have gotten it there, but sounds to me like you've done more than your part elsewhere to earn it. So I'd keep it. (Even if you hadn't earned it whatsoever I'd keep it..)
-
Are you stupid? Keep it. You don't earn anything in this game so who cares.

Edited by frosty9019: 5/2/2015 10:37:36 PMKeep it! Putting that many hours into the game and only getting it now just to dismantle is silly. it will be a fun story to tell too. I got p and t while second on the losing team of sky shock.
-
Think if it as a welcome back gift, and a bit advice that my wife imparts to me once in a while, "don't look a gift horse in the mouth."
-
Keep it. You may not have earned it this match but you've earned it over your total time man.
-
Keep it dude
-
Boy keep thats shit. Its all random(no matter how annoyed i get at afk players getting good shit) its all random so just know youre lucky.
-
The people who said to dismantle it are the people alfred was talking about when he said that some people just want to watch the world burn.
-
It appears RNG. Is ever in your favor
-
You have not two manned the vog. You wouldn't of got passed Gorgons. Good try scooter.
-
Why the hell would you dismantle it??
-
Don't dismantle it because you may never get another one and you will wish you never had dismantled it.
-
Its destinys way of saying it missed you.
-
Yea same shit happened to me but on the VOG chest I got two ghorns in the spam of a few minutes from two different characters it was insane. And I'm a day oner who never ever got it in those few months of playing ridiculous amounts of hours a day. I hadn't played since December. I'm seriously thinking the game keeps track of how long u have played and awards u if you come back from a good amount of leave to make you stay and play more again.
-
Destiny is just paying you back for all the other times RNG wasn't in your favor. Keep it
-
Keep it bro. And welcome to the club. I'm a member if a group who hires themselves out to help anyone who need a g-horn in their team. You should join too
