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.

Listen I agree with you. Ghorn is not neede like it is advertised. However if you have a team of 4-5 and only need 1-2 more, knowing there are randoms and may cause the team to wipe, it is a little safer knowing they might be able to hold there own. It's the same reason that everyone only took random warlocks back in the day that vog was the only raid. The thought that well if they suck at least they can self res and try again. It's a pure safety net. But I do agree if people keep demanding it (which I think they will even more now) bungie will just keep nerfing instead of makin new gun or buffing current one to rival the ghorn. All in all its a bad situation.
