No its not true. That was invented by salty little kids. Watch planet destiny's video about it. He was there when xur spawned. He spawned in without a weapon.

But why did he have no weapons? I'm not saying he spawned in with Gjallarhorn and then Bungie pulled it. But maybe they pulled it prior to him spawning in and just didn't replace it with anything. I just find it hard to believe that they were unable to fix the issue "safely." Whatever the hell that means. I agree that the theory was created by people who desperately want Ghorn.

It was a glitch in the RNG. And messing with it while a server was live and online would have potentially created more problems and bugs.

Maybe, but I also tend to think they're too lazy or too engrossed in launching TTK to care much about what happens in the interim.
