Honestly, I've done everything in this game in groups without gally quicker than alot of people who use it as a crutch. It isn't the be all and end all. I am more pissed at the changes to ice breaker and black hammer than what they've done to gally. Yeah I'm not happy about the gally nerf, but to me it's not top of the list. As for the elitists who only want people in their groups with gally. I've always avoided ass hats like that and if they want to group together more, it just makes it easier for me to avoid them.
