Here's a thought: (Destiny)

by Claude Errera , Friday, August 21, 2015, 16:24 (3194 days ago) @ Cody Miller

Why should a class of weapons that does NOT affect how others play the game be nerfed because one player (or one class of player) suggests that they can't stop themselves from using it if it's around?

In some sense, easy nightfalls effect everybody. Easy nightfalls = easy rewards. Easy rewards mean the average player has better guns. This in turn colors the design of future missions in DLC packs. Bungie's only option was to nerf Gjallarhorn, otherwise the next raid would have had to be hard with 6 of them in the fireteam, leaving everybody else completely out of their league.

So you saw that Tweet yesterday that said that Gjallarhorn isn't getting nerfed so much as not buffed to Year 2 max, right?

(They aren't the same thing, no matter how much you tell me they have the same effect.)
