I see the coping of people who think it's all about showing off and looking better than everyone else when it's not even close to that. Destiny is a hobby and a highly fun game to play with a variety of builds. To assume that someone has nothing going on with their life because they're good at a game is the definition of coping because you think that most "elites" even THINK about the players beneath them and not the tasks they want to do. Unless someone specifically shows it, most high end players aren't "elitists", they WANT you in endgame. No one plays this game to specifically to show off. They're just playing the game how it's designed to be played. A miniscule amount of people actually act like this. Most of us want players to learn and come join us and do more of the content. We want people to use Fireteam finder and have a culture that has a rich list of people who are raid ready in it. Filled with people who played the game like everyone else did to be raid ready. And if you don't want to put in the time (which you probably did ANYWAY because seasonal weapons are good nowadays) then you don't get the rewards. I don't understand the mentality to see players who get high end content done and then NOT follow what they're doing because those same hardcore players have been in your shoes. But instead of complaining, they looked for like-minded individuals in LFG. And when they started and got over their anxiety or whatever personal thing that was stopping them, they realized it's not that difficult. Many people blow raiding out of proportion. They don't see knowledge as something valuable. So there aren't any practice parties like there are in FFXIV. This is content you LEARN. That's the purpose of it. Anyone could do it if they just try. And I don't believe people's anecdotal bad Fireteams. Of course you're going to find bad apples, but I still don't understand why people who are solo or say endgame is too hard just doesn't get together with the same people. I don't understand why everyone is looking to have the "elites" be the one to pick them up instead of people who are in the same situation as them. I don't understand why they don't practice. Ever since Garden of Salvation, I have been doing this with my static team for years. Learning as we go. Laughing and having fun. I don't get why people don't do this. I say this while being someone who worked full time at a nursing home BTW We got a lot of stuff done. Said we were never going to get Rivensbane. We got Rivensbane. Said we were never going to do a day 1. We have 2 under our belts. Hardest of the hard stuff and we got it done. I had fun with them. So if my full time working, (during the pandemic) busy butt can do it, so can you. And that's on the basis of normal raids. Not even the hardest of the hard things. Basic. Normal raids.
