So, I'm playing Destiny as a Warlock and I noticed that some of my gear had very 'anti-hunter' descriptions. One said something along the lines of Hunters not being able to shoot straight and other said Warlocks will never 'cede their position' to the Hunters. Anyone know why there's bad blood between the two, or if there's tension between all the classes, or did I just pick a class that happens to be really pissy?
EDIT: So there is some tension between each of the classes. The shit talk mainly goes on between the Warlocks and Huntards. The Huntards and Titans also have a few jabs at each other. Titans and Warlocks seem to get along.
Edit 2: Hunters*
Edit 3: Holy shit, nearly 1500 replies now. This post was from the Beta in July and it just picked up a lot more steam.

It's a joke. The hunter gear has descriptions bragging about looking cooler than warlocks and stuff like that. It's probably due to the nature of the classes. Think of warlocks as the knights of the magical round table and hunters as space cowboy vigilantes

Because 7 ate 9!
-
I can imagine the hunter and warlock being siblings and the titan is just that guy lol
-
I think this back story is going to be hilarious, but it might be better if bungie just let's the community go wild with rumors and speculation. BTW screw Hunters. Warlocks run this shit. Titans are alright as now though.

Bungie inciting some class warfare to heat up the Crucible.. I like it
-
My hunter cloak says this "Missions: protect the city, look better then warlocks, but don't look like you're trying" :D lol sorry but I really enjoy hunters! Hunters ftw
-
My warlock chest says "Warlocks are expected to maintain ceremonial robes. We cannot cede the sartorial struggle to the Hunters."
-
Don't know reasoning behind it, but I find it entertaining. I think I remember hearing about a hunter cloak that said something along the lines of "Tell the warlocks your cloak is "faberjous", they respect words they don't understand". I think that the little feud is pretty funny, and I play along with it as a warlock. I give my friends shit about anything I can whenever they play as a hunter.

There are a couple Titan Pieces that take little jabs at hunters. I think it is mostly Bungie poking a little fun at the playstyle that encompasses each class. But you're right, Warlock gear is WAY anti-Hunter. My favorite: "If a hunter says that you obstructed his line of fire, reply thus: 'It was imperfect, and I could not abide it.'"

They started it.

It started in Jerusalem. It was the year 3564 AD, i.e. before Christ, the warlocks had trading routes that were coterminous with the natives of the region. These very same nomads...

I once got a hunter cape that had a quote from some famous hunter that said "as a hunter, you have two jobs: fight the darkness, look better than warlocks" or something like that. i think they would naturally dislike each other. Warlocks think hunters are unkempt, hick-like outdoorsmen, and hunters think warlocks are pretentious intellectuals.

No idea cause they battling for fashion maybe?

Idk i love it though
