Lemme make this real simple: Bungie nerfs the Gjallerhorn because Raid groups were too stubborn about who can and can't join their games, basically who has Gjallerhorn and who doesn't.
The scummy part of this community goes, "Durr hurr, I'm gonna require Gjallerhorn even more now to teach Bungie a lesson!"
Bungie says, "It looks like Gjallerhorn is [i]still[/i] the go-to weapon for Raid groups, so we're gonna nerf it some more."
[b][i]REPEAT THIS CYCLE UNTIL YOU IDIOTS LEARN THAT BEING A JERK TO PEOPLE OVER A WEAPON IN A VIDEOGAME IS PATHETIC AND WRONG.[/i][/b]
But by all means, if you're so afraid to do endgame content without Gjallerhorn, be my guest, and get your precious rocket launcher nerfed into the ground.

NO THEY DIDN'T nerf the gally because of raid groups asking for it. Stop being so naive. They have done numerous tinkering with numerous weapons but left the gally because they wanted people to keep playing to obtain it. They have had more than enough time to nerf that weapon (should have been done when Crota raid was out and having a gally was a necessity) but didn't. They are nerfing it because they don't want any old weapons competing with the new ones (new carrots on sticks) and by passing the blame on to the player base for requiring this weapon for end game content it then shifts the anger away from them and leaves us biching at each other.
