As someone who regularly advertises having a maxxed out Gjally, I'm going to come off as some sort of race-traitor or sommat. I'm actually looking forward to it. Ultimately when it comes down to it, it's a pain in the ass to get a raid group or a POE group unless you have Gjally courtesy of the elitist attitudes some have regarding it. Usually I break it out at the beginning during a gear check, final bosses of raids and and POE, if I bother, since I have a lot more fun laying in with Hard Light, SUROS Regime or Invective. Hilarity usually ensues when my groups are like "Did Sev just charge the Templar?" Destiny is a game that's taught me one important lesson, and it's that failing to adapt to the changes made to the game is the easiest way to suck at it. This lesson rings even more true when one considers a small, but dedicated portion of the community that's been determined to build around these hurdles. This fix is being done in the midpoint between expansions, and I've noticed that among my non-Ballerhorn packing friends, morale kind of... well... morale f@#!ing [i]sucks[/i]. It's been at an all time low, with a few people I'm no longer speaking to over the crap loot tables, RNJesus STILL screwing everyone over, poor luck and crappy attitudes. It was good while it lasted, but frankly the sort of vitriol surrounding a pretend gun in our pretendy fun time space adventure drove home the fact that there are absolute psychos who basically live in game and have nothing better to do than to stroke their Gjally and thumb their noses at people without one and flip their lid when you dare to tell them that the weapon's a crutch. Did I mention I had one? Yeah, about that. I [i]had[/i] five at one point. If there were a trading system, I'd have traded them for the other exotics I got screwed out of. But you know what? I've been here since Beta, I hate using the damn thing, I don't have the heart to disassemble my last one so I can keep my collection intact, and I'm glad that other weapons are going to be made competitive so I can open up the chat channel and say "Yeah, I have a Gjally on standby, but I'm rocking Invective. Cool? Cool." For all this talk about 'Becoming Legend' it seems like we're all press ganged into being doppelgangers of each other with only some shaders to distinguish us, with the real distinction being the divisiveness of the populace of those who have and those who want on specific things being nerfed. Gjally's still going to be far from unusable, and the ones threatening to quit over a nerf (that won't) need to man up and actually do it or suck it up and shut up. tl;dr: Gjallarhorn is an overpowered, unbalanced piece of s@#! that's been a source of contention among the entire base and this nerf has been a long time coming.
