So Xur is selling Gjallarhorn. To all the guardians who sought this gem but were eluded by RNG's grace, CONGRATULATIONS and I am seriously happy the pain can stop for you.
However, to me, this move on Bungie's part is offensively and obviously twisted and pervasive. On the surface, they would have you believe they are opening a previously sealed door for all the people who once could not join raid groups due to the "must have Gally" demands on LFG posts.
Nope.
If Bungie cared or wanted you to have a raid group, THEY WOULD IMPLEMENT OPTIONAL MATCHMAKING.
Nice cover Bungie. The real reasons Xur just happened to lift his trade embargo on Gjallarhorn this weekend?
1. To deflect / distract all the negative press from TTK announcements
2. To pad their activity numbers in this ridiculous lull as people wait for TTK since the year 1 legendary announcement all but destroyed grinders' reason to play.
3. To troll us. Like Bungie always does. "Here, have a Gally." ***nerfs the crap out of Gally three weeks later***
4. To gain our favor.
The relationship with Bungie gets more and more unhealthy the longer it goes. Watch out.

Note that its an algorithm that generates what xur sells... if u figure out the algorithm its not so random anymore.... besides I think this weapon will still be pretty beastly in the ttk but ppl will continue to freak out until they realize that....
