Bungie: Please implement incentives for players to take people who DON'T "KWTD" through raids/dungeons/GMs etc...

There really needs to be some sort of top tier incentive/rewards for players who don't always require that someone "KWTD" to participate in raids, dungeons, GMs etc... As someone who doesn't have a dedicated group of people to run with on a regular basis, I am RARELY able to do raids for a couple reasons and therefore never have a chance to get any raid loot as a result... 1: Being the aforementioned reason of not having a team to coordinate with. And 2: (More importantly) Being that when I LFG for a team, they ALMOST ALWAYS require that you "KWTD".... I am in no way blaming people for not wanting to spend their time in game wiping over and over because they are having to teach people mechanics and strategies, while also simultaneously not being given any extra incentive to do so aside from the already expected loot. So IMO, there really needs to be an incentive system for teaching and carrying people who don't otherwise have the time or means to do so. This current situation negatively impacts the casual/newer player experience by essentially telling them that they may never be able to complete some of the most fun things to do in the game because the veterans are, at no fault of their own, gatekeeping activities to other veterans who KWTD... People can't be expected to KWTD if they are never given the opportunity to play it in the first place... (Again, at no fault of the players who are looking to get their quick raid completions for the week and or weapon farms done). This is simply a systemic problem with the current reward structure of the game itself... SO PLEASE, maybe instead of guardian ranks being just a sort of "Hey look what all I did to reach a higher number than you", maybe make the top tiers actually grant TANGIBLE rewards for the players who do, in fact, sherpa people with no or few clears. (I.E, guaranteed Deepsights at time of completion on top of chest rewards, or exclusive emblems and shaders for a certain amount of Sherpa runs.) *Edit* Also a physical representation of their runs with people who have 0 clears and a special title next to their name or something (that would be something to poll the carry community about), that reflects how helpful they are to the community would be a nice touch. Food for thought to help keep newer or casual players engaged.

  • There are a few things you can do to help your situation. 1. Join a clan that raids and does GMS and endgame content. Many have additional chats in discord as well as using the app to set up Sherpa runs. 2. Study up. Sometimes going in with even a little knowledge of the activity or a strategy goes a long way. 3. Become a sponge. If a veteran player gives you insight, tactics, or gives you instruction on a new strat add it to your pile of gold. There's more than one way to get things done. 4. Be patient, be kind, be helpful. If you want help, I guarantee you have something to offer to a new player as well. Be the change you want to see. 5. Understand that endgame content is hard, and give yourself time to be at the appropriate level. Build your survivability and skills so you can be an asset rather than a liability. Hope this helps 🥰
