I have had Gally since my first nightfall, 2 weeks in. And I have never knocked a player back for the guns they have. There was only ever a problem if they were rood, or just wouldn't listen. As the game moved on and the number of players with Gally increased I felt somewhat free of it so I could use other guns. So that said don't misunderstand me, it is not a crutch for me, I don't need it to accomplish an objective. But I really feel like they should have gone the other way, and offered an incentive to help players without the weapon. No, I don't know what a fair incentive would be. (A boon to RNG to increase chance of good drops?). But at the very least no one would be feeling like they're being punished for the actions of others.
