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.

Here's how you deal with these people. Back when Dual Destiny launched I had an opinion a lot of these players didn't like. Mainly that the DLC was sold with the exotic class items front and centre, yet nothing was mentioned about them being behind a chore heavy mission. And that I don't enjoy activities like that so I wouldn't be doing it. Well. They stamped their feet and launched off, but more than one decided to take it further and message me. One even suggested that I should go get cancer. I replied with "Sorry, I don't do requests". He kept on with more abuse about me being old and past it etc etc. I just kept replying with replies like .. "How upset was your mum when she realised the Hospital threw the best bit away ??" "If I met your mum and girlfriend there would only be one woman there right ??" "I bet your parents had to tie a steak around your neck just to get the dog to play with you when you were a kid" He then said "I did your Mom" I replied with "I take it you reburied her properly then ??" He said that "my mom" had "loved every minute" ignoring the fact he was bragging about being a necrophiliac. I replied with .. "So did yours. Ask your Dad. He was there. Filmed the whole thing." Basically just take the mickey out of the attention seeking oxygen thief. You ignoring them is a victory in their pea sized brain. Keep replying and use it as away to cheer yourself up because people like this are a way of proving to yourself that hey, at least you aren't THAT dumb. Do you know why the world is full of people like that ?? .. Because they keep getting away with it. Just a thought.
