Not even close to reasonable. (Destiny)

I can think of nothing less interesting than everyone having the exact same gear

Who says that having no RNG loot would mean every player would use the same stuff? That's the false assumption right there.

I think once a series of simple, predictable and repeatable actions is linked to receiving a particular bit of loot, drops of that piece of loot will proliferate. Gjallahorn is thought of as being valuable not only because it is good, but because it is relatively rare compared to other similar weapons that are almost as good. Its inevitable proliferation would lead to complaints (like the one you yourself have made!) to the effect that content is not challenging when you have such an overpowered weapon.

Myself, I think the Destiny universe is more interesting where some things are rare, but not every mission is impossible.
