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.

It's not just VoG. It's the nature of the heavily mechanic laden raid encounters. So there is a lot of anxiety and stress in these lfg groups. And little tolerance for wiping and teaching. And swapping our players is it's own problem because it requires reexplaining and assigning roles. Lfg has been a cluster since D2 introduced raid lairs and I saw a little of it in certain encounters in the calus raid. I think elitism isnt the issue. It's a stress to finish it more than anything. But that's a bungie problem. In D1 one we finished raids all raids by friday and settled in to sherpaing through the weekend. Raids are now too stressful and less people and clans feel comfortable leading teams through raids. Hence it's better to find a core group to raid with and do just do closed raids together. The community for lfg isnt what it once was. Not by a ling shot.
