Funny story: I was doing a nightfall on archon. I died and watched the last 1/3rd of the battle while crack in' jokes and saying "I'll probably get a gally for this" ...aaaaand I did. My friend who had been grinding as long as I had didn't and it was sad. You only earn stuff in this game in that you play the game. A person who logs on and plays has just as much right to gally as anyone else.
