The toxicity of lfg VoG teams
It’s bad enough the changes they made with the oracles but the toxicity and elitism of people in these lfg groups is unbelievable. My clan was short 2 guys so we ended up using lfg and found some people to fill the spots. These 2 guys said they had an Atheon checkpoint and ask if we could start there and they’d help us with the beginning parts after so we agreed.
Now this was our very first time in the raid learning everything and these guys had already played and made it to Atheon. So we start and their we a few mistakes but after a while we were getting the hang of stuff. All of a sudden these guys say um I don’t think we will get this done the damage isn’t enough. Now these guys were putting out similar to less damage than everyone else and were making mistakes as well. They just continued to be negative and no longer wanted to help anymore. It’s just ridiculous how people just don’t have the patience anymore to figure out where the mistakes lie, correct it and keep pushing. They rather be negative, create tension and anxiety. People want to beat the raid just as badly as these elitist pricks. Thus why raid should’ve stayed the same as it was in D1 and challenge mode should’ve had the changes.

Being impatient doesn’t automatically mean they’re toxic. I’d get a little impatient too if I was running the same section for an hour and getting nowhere. If they didn’t feel it was going to work and wanted to go on their own way, that’s fine. If they were running their mouths off and trash talking, that’s totally different. However, toxicity is and has always been a huge problem in Destiny going all the way back to the first raids and even nightfalls. So many people expect perfection right out of the gate, and that’s almost never the case. I haven’t played for some time now and simply came back to the forum to get a feel for the current state. But when I was playing all the time, I found that the easiest way to sift through these types is to be as transparent in your lfg post as possible. That way, if someone responds to a post from a bunch of players on their first run, they already know what they’re getting into and will likely be more patient.
