Because before they made it the Nightfall,the drop rate for it was extremely low. Drop rates in nightfalls are a lot higher. And people do farm other strikes. I did simply for the fact that I had a chance of getting the item at 335.
It's definitely not the first time omnighul has been a nightfall strike. They farmed it way back before I even took a 6 month hiatus. So I'm asking again, what's different now than back then?
I had one back then, and I got rid of it. It's not THAT good. I don't even care to grind for one now. Bungie you can look at all my stats this week to verify. It's not a super great gun.
One key factor alone

Or any such pvp event.
Trials is also another nerf fest if a weapon does get "too popular" it will get nerfed because of that.
