Incentivise Sherpas to Bring in New Players

Hi, I'm a returning D2 player and I have some thoughts on my experience that I feel relates to D2's low engagement. There is a ton of existing content I have yet to play. Most players I encounter are veterans who do not want to play with someone learning a dungeon or raid. New players are often berated or kicked off fireteams for making mistakes. This is very discouraging and ultimately hurts D2. A very positive experience I had recently is two players talking me through Vesper's Host. They were awesome and I feel like I could help others newbies because of them. I think they should be rewarded for their efforts. Bungie should explore a system that exclusively rewards players for clearing content with inexperienced players. Rewards should be exclusive to these players Commendations should also factor in. Recognize experienced players for being patient and enjoyable. Bungie needs to find a way to bridge the gap between experienced players and newbies. Bottom lines it's not fun to be a new/returning player getting yelled at on a game for trying to learn the ropes. I don't expect this to solve all your problems but I still have a reason to play D2 and I'd love to grow in the game and help others. And I doubt I'm alone. Gonna go get smoked in Trials now. Enjoy the weekend Guardians!

    I'm an admin for the top sherpa clan in D2. There's no reward bungie could offer to me or any of the other sherpas in this circle. The entire reward is helping friendly players who appreciate the help and meeting fun people. Any incentive bungie provided would be taken advantage of by people who do not feel this way. The one thing Bungie could do is actually communicate with us but they do not care. My advice to you is only join Fireteam Finder posts with positive tags. I always put tags like No Toxicity, Safe Space, Newbie Friendly and kick anyone who gets unpleasant. If there are none make your own and kick people who mouth off. I have sent you a friend request, my friends and I would love to take you through Garden of Salvation sometime! Edit: if anyone reading this wants Divinity or to learn Garden of Salvation but has been too nervous to send me a friend request.
