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.

    I mean, they offered solid advice. If this game is too hard for you, move on to a different game. Why is that offensive to you? Do any of you really think Bungie will tone down destiny even more at this point? I'm not an elitist. I don't ever do raids anymore...but I don't doubt I'd be able to handle my own through one. If you don't think you can do something and are more willing to ask for it to be easier...then the activity isn't for you. Just move on. Good amount of easy stuff to do in the game. Edit: your message back to him was way more toxic. Mirror check.
