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.

Let me explain this to you. Hard Crota. "How many gjallys we got? Two? Alright that's fine. 2 shots will basically take his shield down. We'll be good." Well you see, depending on how bad the nerf is, it will take more Gjallarhorn shots to accomplish something such as taking down Crota's shield. Now I'm not someone who excludes people for not having the weapon, but for others it's different. The Gjallarhorn or gtfo elitists will be even worse because the Gjallarhorn won't be good enough for them to be okay with that person or two that just has HoC. They'll just require another person with Gjally to meet their ridiculous standards. Bungie needed to have left the weapon alone, or not made it so ridiculously powerful in the first place.
