I don't have problems with the age of a player, what normally bothers me is their maturity and consideration for everyone else. I'm 30 and play with a clan ranging from 20-35 years of age. The majority of players that I have played with that are under the age of 16 (some even as high as 25 years of age) have no consideration for other players. We don't want to hear someone's music through the mic because it disrupts communication. We don't wanna hear you singing a song or making stupid noises the entire time. We don't want to hear you eat an entire bag of chips in our ear and talk with your mouth full. We don't wanna hear your take a piss with your mic on. We don't want to hear the words "go hard", "swagg" and all that other bs lingo that kids use every time you get a kill. We don't like to have someone jump up on the ledge we are on inch us off because its "funny" or running around doing stupid stuff while trying to complete a raid. We don't wanna hear you have a 20 minute conversation on your phone. We don't wanna say "hey man, cover this spot" and look up and see you in a completely different spot doing whatever you want. Raid teams require teamwork and everyone to pull their load. We also don't want someone to argue with us because "I do it this way." If you're entering a group of people (especially a clan), do it their way and if it continues to fail suggest a new alternative instead of demanding one. Tact is very under utilized. Also, don't make excuses when you die. If you die, you die, no biggie but "he got in my way" is not a good way to leave that group wanting to play with you again. I don't care what age a player is if they can be considerate and utilize the mute button on their mic. I have a 14 year old nephew that I run through the raids with my clan and I constantly have to tell him this kinda stuff (some not all of it). I told him if they tell me hes too annoying and won't help, I'm not gonna get mad at them because he continues to do the annoying stuff after I've told him its not cool. Its a maturity thing. I've played with "adults" who act like this too and I'd prefer not to play with them either. Age doesn't matter to me as long as the person isn't doing this stuff.

  • Raids in Destiny are exceptionally casual. They don't really require too much focus I am sorry but if you can pug hard mode first week with all randoms it's not tough enough.

  • Not sure how this relates to my post because my post really had no points about difficulty of the raid. However; I agree, they are casual. I don't like to put up with BS from someone while doing them either way though. If you have a team of 6 and 3 are screwing around then that means the others are doing all the work. Its not right for the team to unwillingly carry other members. This doesn't just apply to just raids, I don't like playing anything with someone doing the stuff I stated in my comment. Its annoying and inconsiderate. Regardless of whether I'm patrolling earth or doing a raid I'd rather not hear or deal with that kind of stuff. My comments on team work were to point out that team work means everyone doing their part; whether its boomers, dropping crota, or using the sword. The role doesn't matter as long as everyone is doing something to contribute unless the team has given permission to carry that person before hand. I had a level 27 join my normal crota yesterday and sit down. He got booted. He joined my chat and said, "why did you boot me, I'm a 27 I can't do anything." I didn't boot him because he couldn't do damage, could care less about that and knew that when I saw his level. However, you shouldn't join someone's raid uninvited and expect to be carried without asking to make sure the team doesn't mind. We were 3 manning it so I wouldn't have cared but, its disrespectful to just assume this person you don't know will do this. Its courtesy and the principle of the matter that got him kicked, not his level.

  • My point on difficulty was mainly to point out you can jack around quite a large bit before it negatively impacts performance. Just because someone is obnoxious while bothersome doesn't imply you are carrying their weight. It may be you are piggybacking or their aloofness could be causing you to play worse in which case they may troll harder it may be none or a large sum of these things.
