Imo the reason why elitism will get worse after the nerf is simply because rather than people asking for gally they will instead be asking for "must have completed "X" on hard mode" Gally would allow players with lesser ability to get into raids and also allowed other to carry people through and now people are going to be less inclined to do so and therefore it could push raids more in the direction that to0 is now Personally I don't think the nerf is that bad but I do think that this could backfire and exacerbate the issue rather than solve it, at the end of the day the more you try to balance a op pve weapon the more you risk isolating those players who for whatever reason lack certain skills, so the end result will be a slight reduction in the "must have gally" and a increase in the "git gud scrub" and I don't see how that's better, your just replacing one form of elitism with another
