This isn't really a rant, but more of a "I wonder if people think the same as me" sorta thread.
I like a bit of PvP, I'm not the best and although it's infuriating as heck sometimes, it can be a lot of fun when you're playing with friends. I'm also mildly in love with the Titan's Trials helmet <3 but I digress...
As I browse the ToO recruitment forums, a solid 99% of posts are "must be good" "must be year 2 flawless already" "must have over X KD" etc etc... Now, there's nothing necessarily wrong with the posts themselves, after all ToO is technically designed for those who are better at PvP and thus wish to be rewarded appropriately for those skills; HOWEVER, it gets a little bit disheartening for people like me, who just want to do a casual Trials run, have a bit of fun with new people and complete a few of the bounties on the way, when it seems almost impossible to find a group of people who have that same "casual" mindset as me.
I'd like to see maybe more forums posted aimed at those who are a little bit more of a casual PvP-er (I play a lot more PvE than I do PvP), so that we can still partake in the activity. Again, I'm not necessarily ranting at these elitist players, they're in their right to want to do it as best as they can, but I feel like not enough people take part in ToO because they don't feel like anyone would accept them in because their KD isn't good enough or whatever. The same can be said about the raid and the PvE elitists, but that's for another post that I'm sure many have made.

Yep this is true people in LFG's will even tell have these weapons in the meta or you are giving yourself a disadvantage they said. My friend ESCATOTO doesn't really jive in the meta but he still wrecks in trials and PvP in general especially IB. Regarding that elitist post check my post on 'I Hate Elitists' which focuses more on the PvE side you can relate too

Make your own group stating your playing for fun/bounties and not too bothered about flawless I have done this a couple of times and I always end up with a decent team of non elitists :) Even made it to 6-0 one time by accident haha

Make your own group.

I completely understand, however I have never had a problem finding a casual run with a couple of people. I just state what I want and re send when I get no replies. I have more of an issue finding a serious run. A lot of people saying be this be that aren't actually any good themselves.

You can always start your own group. I can understand that it is intimidating and diseartening when you see those posts. I'm a pretty average player myself. I've been lucky enough to have a great group of freinds to help with all of the end game activities. Good luck out there gardian

Edited by Marze: 11/15/2015 12:49:59 AMWhat's funny is that I meet those high standards, but I am hesitant to join them. Simply because I underestimate myself sometimes. Edit: You should put this in #destiny

I normally go and post "looking for two for casual run" and I find like 3 to 4 messages

2 months ago i was diagnosed with a terminal illness. The doctor told me i had a sexually transmitted cancer inbetween my toes, but you may know it better as cerebal palsy, in about a week it will spread to the webbings of my fingers and i won't be able to play destiny anymore, they told me they will possibly have to amputate my trigger finger. My last wishes are to beat up kim kardashian, catch a shiny pokemon, and go flawless in trials of osiris. Please fwends, won't you aid me in this darkest of times. If you believe you can carry contagious ass through trials please send a friend request to wizard_king12. (PS4) 1 friend request = 1 prayer

Destinylfg.net has a category just for casual players looking to finish bounties. I see these posts a lot, and play with those guys after getting my flawless done.

Well said man. Bungie is to blame here. They foster a gaming culture of elitists, and it turns the majority of players off to even try trials, let alone improve and get better. That's why so few people play. It's a broken system. Insert random Bungie error code here.

Hosting flawless run must have mic and gone flawless before
