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.

Day one player who just got Gjallarhorn a couple weeks ago for the first time. Before I got Gjallarhorn I'd completed every PvP activity from story missions to hard mode raids. Don't get me wrong, it's an awesome weapon. It's fun to use. The nerf kinda sucks but oh well. But to require it in a team... that's just lame haha. Just find a good group of friends to play with so you don't have to deal with LFG BS.
