Elitism a problem in destiny...
Recently i was called an elitist when doing a raid with an lfg team. When forming the team we had 5 318+ guardians and one of them suggested his lowly 309 friend to fill the last spot. Myself and another teammate showed our displeasure in having a low light character join us as we know for a fact that people who are 318+ are skilled and people below 310 are not.
Against our better judgement we let this player in. After 5 attempts on warpriest with the same 309 dying we finally passed it any moved on to golgoroth. There this player died alot. And then when i asked why are you dying all the time to him and that maybe you should raise your level to 315+ before doing a hard raid he snapped back at me you are an elitist.
I dont know why he called me an elitist. Maybe it was because i was staying alive and he was dying alot. Then he said that those requirements arent needed to beat hard mode and that is elitism because i have a higher light than him.
I am not an elitist but i do believe that one player is better than another based entirely on his gear. Its not my fault that he isnt skilled enoughto get to 315+.

Edit: we were wiping after the guy in the video missed grabbing the gaze causing most of the team to get wrecked.

Lol me and my buddies carried out 285 friends through hard mode, his first time and we got to sisters. 5 318+? You all just suck major balls at the game and couldn't carry the slack. But gear does not in any shape or form equal skill. Someone can run the raid [u]once[/u] and get super lucky with all 320 drops, doesn't make you good. Makes you lucky.

That awkward moment when you base someone's skill off of their rng luck [spoiler]dumbass[/spoiler]

1 ReplyI would've left before the low level even joined. If someone even suggest it then they have no respect for anyone's time. We get 315+ because we don't want to wipe 6 fkn times on every checkpoint. If you want your little buddy to get some good gear then host a fkn lobby with all 308-310 players and quit wasting everyone's time
-
Oohhh..So gear DOES equal skill..Thanks for clearing that up
-
2 RepliesOnly problem i see is you saying people under 310 are not skilled. Other than that there is no elitism in this post.
-
Gear has nothing to do with skill. Better gear means better luck. I did hard oryx with a 305 the other day and we beat it

1 ReplyB8 is B8. Lots of people biting.

Dude he was a clown not your fault he kept dying
-
Just finished carrying a 307 through hm. Not gonna lie, it was a steuggle at oryx but we got it done. If ur team of 318+ couldn't carry him through an easy fight like golg, then the problem isn't only him... If the rest of the team is solid, it's not a problem.
-
That video had me laughing so hard
-
I don't see elitist in that but I do so one thing that bugs me and that's you stating people below 310 ain't skilled. I may not be 310 or do the raid a lot don't mean I ain't skilled at the game
-
Demanding a set level to do something lower for example "need 3 for VoG normal must be 310+" is a massive sign of elitism and doesn't just fit there it fits just as good in your case...
-
6 RepliesWhat was your light b4 you attempted hard mode? My light is 309, I haven't tried hard mode yet because of ppl like yourself... But I need to, to up my light.
-
You've never got stuck on a wall and died in the game? Honestly I would never want to play with someone like you, just the thought of hearing your fgt attitude for a whole game makes me cringe.
-
The sad thing is I can't tell if you're actually being serious or not. If you are being serious, then you are part of the problem.
-
[quote] his lowly 309 friend I am not an elitist[/quote] Yeah, you are.
-
2 RepliesIf five 318+ players couldn't carry a 309, then you guys are a bunch of scrubs, git gud and quit bitching

-
How else are you supposed to get to 315+ besides hard mode and special events.
-
-
Clearly a troll. I knew the moment you said anyone below 310 isnt skilled...
-
3 Replies<310 is perfectly fine for all parts of hard mode except Oryx. Maybe you should have helped educate him on what he was doing wrong.
-
He's not underleveled. He's just bad. However you called him out for being underleveled. So.......
-
Yeah you're an elitist and not even a very good one. You're more of a douchebag actually. And still playing raids at 318+ is utterly useless but hey it gave you a chance to display some douchbagery.
-
Lol "I believe gear makes people more skilled" Explain this then. I have done countless raids across the board where I have had "worse" gear and been a lower light level yet still got more kills and equalled and sometimes even surpassed the damage of the higher levelled players. So your whole post is pretty pointless. Light level makes people better players ?? Lmao

2 RepliesLight level doesn't determine skill
