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.

Edited by TripleF73: 1/30/2025 12:23:14 PMI think that there are quite a few toxic people in all camps in the forums. Casuals, elites, ex-players, hidden accounts, mid tiers players, Bungie defenders, holier than thou players that would never commit the faux pas you did then succeed in doing worse three or four times in their response, etc. We are all guilty of being toxic. Myself included. Typical game forum from my experience as a gamer. Just ignore the toxic 🤡’s and try not to be one yourself. It’s quite difficult when there are so many people that type before they think. Again I’m guilty of that too sometimes. Never have I DM’d anyone on here to insult them though. I have DM’d only once or twice to apologise when I think I’ve been over the line.
