Firstly, this is not a “I am quitting Destiny 2” post where I whine about the game.
This is a celebration of 8 years of Destiny 2, a game I have loved even through the quiet seasons.
I have earned 68 Titles (hoping to make Eternal my 69th and final).
At the end of the season, I will be leaving D2, uninstalling the game and will be gone at least a year, but likely permanent - and while I am more than happy to explain why - this is not about that.
Many of you know of me, many of you will not but I have spent a lot of the last 8 years helping Guardians achieve things they didn’t think they could:
- Hundreds of Sherpas of Whisper and Zero Hour
- 207 Flawless Master Presage helps for the “Last Chapter” emblem
- Help on other Exotic missions
- Over 1000 GM Sherpas
- Raid and dungeon Sherpas
- Helped Guardians earn hundreds of titles
On Sunday 13th July I have a final D2 [url=https://www.twitch.tv/Jonty28]Twitch[/url] stream planned, after which I will be playing and streaming other games.
I would love as many of you to be there for my send off as possible and anyone who needs GM help, dungeon teaching or other triumphs (except raids) let me know and I will see what I can do to help you before my Guardian and Ghost retire.
Thank you for the memories and the experiences along the way.
Edit: it is lovely to see how many Guardians remember or recognise me. Thank you - it means a lot.

You know, I wasn’t going to comment here, as we’ve spoken in private. I was shocked when you decided to stop Sherpa-ing raids after Bungie raised the floor on the difficulty. You can imagine my shock when you decided to retire from this game. Despite the pair of us holding very similar opinions about the direction of the game, I just thought you’d be a permanent fixture here, helping guardians like you have done for years. Before people start thinking I’m just another discord member glazing you, you and I have never gamed together, and I’ve only been a member of your discord for a short while and have never interacted on there with anyone. We have only interacted on posts here or DM’s. I feel that Bungie is thoroughly moronic for pushing a player like myself away. Imagine how I feel if they’ve pushed a player like you away as well. It’s not just your achievements, which are very impressive. It’s the attitude and the genuine dedication and commitment to helping anyone who asks. Even when people talk 💩 to you on here, you’re nothing but genuine, respectful and positive. Something which I fail to achieve when people are rude on here. Whilst I’m not a big fan of content creator input into this game I wish that you had been able to give feedback to Bungie directly and face to face. It probably wouldn’t have made a difference as they are too arrogant to listen, but at least you would have made our disdain for the direction of the game clear. I know from the reactions here and elsewhere you are going to be missed. Not just for the help you have provided, but for your aforementioned attitude. Best of luck Jonty. I still need three cysts under 4 mins if we can finally arrange a time that suits us both 🤣. Or I’d like to help you Sherpa a raid, that I’m good at that is 🤣, if you have anyone in the community that needs a KF, VoG, RoN or a CE? Even if we don’t do anything together, it’s been a pleasure just interacting with you via the forum.
