It's all about fairness. It's a small majority of lfg players (shitty players I'll add) who require any weapon on any activity. This was the leg those crying nerf were standing on. Well, that leg just got elephantitis and quadrupled in size. Of course there are innocents who will be caught up in the mess which is regrettable but as such so are "we" (those never requiring particular weapons) being screwed as well.
