Elitist Players Are The Most Toxic.

After agreeing with a comment on a post talking about game difficulty, I received this delightful message from a fellow player. The legendary player; (name removed as per forum rules) insert "tough guy name" here, with 3 maxed characters, multiple titles, raid & dungeon clears sent me this: "Not sure why y'all think they should cater to the worst players ...instead of you trying to be better like everyone else did Game not hard but most of you don't even try and cry for hand out or ways to get everything solo no mic There's other game for you" I believe they maybe younger than an adult. I replied; "Thanks for that encouraging message. I'm sure your massive ego is tied up in how you play this game & you find no fulfilment in any other aspect of your life. But people like me - who have been playing this game since release - play to have fun, relax, enjoy a moderate challenge. We don't enjoy a stressful, hardcore playing environment designed for no-life, try-hards like yourself. Go play Dark Souls if you want a legendarily hard game." Say what you will about the state of difficulty in the game, personally I would remove all modifiers save for the elemental surges. But to send me a private message telling me to bugger off & go play an easier game is a bit cheeky. The toxicity in this community - from what I can see - is coming from a section of the top 5% of players. The elitist players, who is the only section players Bungie is listening to. That is all.

  • You can make an educated guess as to what kind of childhood a lot of players have had by the remarks they make on this forum, and through private messages. From a psychological point of view, there are players who are naturally good at video games and may find stuff easier to complete than the average player. But because they have had a decent up bringing in a caring, loving home, they sympathise with those who are struggling, and even offer to help. Then again, they may have had an unfortunate childhood, but decided to make a go of life by themselves. This again gives them the empathy and the will to help others. Then you get the poor souls who've had terrible childhoods, maybe ignored or bullied and pushed by their self righteous parents into thinking that they have to be the best at whatever they do, to be noticed in their miseable lives. These tend to be the toxic players who [i][b]HAVE [/b][/i]to be top of any list, and send out derogatory comments and messages to make people feel small compared to them, instead of offering help. The best way to deal with these people is to ignore them. This is the ultimate payback because they [i][b]HATE [/b][/i]being ignored.
