The way I see it, The gally nerf is supposed to bring other heavies usable in case you don't have one. Something like: "hey, let's do (insert activity name here) I want to finish it as fast as possible so bring a competent heavy." "I don't have gally, but I have a HoC, will that do?" "-blam!- it. That should do. Let's go." Or something like that. Honestly, I'm more worried about the black hammer nerf. The elitism for gally is not bungie's problem. It is the fault of our community, praising the weapon as a must-have equipment for almost everything. If there's anything that should be addressed, it is our attitude towards other people who don't have a gally. 2 cents worth. Not much, but there you go.
