I'm gonna start by saying i'm a simple guardian average in PvP and in PVE. I have a group of friends i play with. I've been playing with since we decided to attack Atheon on Hard Mode. I remember how we fought to push back the darkness. the call outs for oracles. being under powered and under leveled. getting sniped by those damn hob goblins sitting on their sniper perch always respawning and sniping us. i remember watching from the death cam our last warlock rezing and trying to dodge all the shots to make it safely to the spirit bloom room and us crossing our fingers for a piece of armor or even better yet a fatebringer! you seem to bond with that group, you feel you can take on anything after you beat certain levels and go through so much. hours and hours of failed attempts to finally conquer the VoG and then taking down Crota. as the time has passed some guardians light died and they moved on to other games or just grew tired of the grind. others stayed together. only two of us from the original group remain. and last night while playing iron banner my brother in arms kept yelling and being passive aggressive to the whole team. it wasn't all his fault I made bad moves that caused me to die and wasn't playing to my average potential, which i know cost us some games. To be honest ive been playing pretty bad these past few months. I jumped off after a few games of his attitude getting to me. and now im torn. This game i love so much that's introduced me to so many great guardians and people i can call friends. Is now a game i don't know if i want to continue playing. I play for fun and try to win, heck i love winning. but i'm also ok with losing a match. servers suck and we get lagged a bunch. I've had times i felt like i should have died but didn't and i have so many times i felt like i should have killed a person who took no damage. its part of the game for now. I'm not posting this as a message for pity i'm to old for that silly stuff. but i'm posting this to other guardians that play with friends. Keep in mind the bad games will come and go and you'll forget about it. But when you push your fellow guardians away, that's a hard thing to get back. Next time you get pissed about something or your teams just not having a good game. take a deep breath and remember the good games and understand that things just aren't working right now. the beauty is next game starts with both scores at 0. My simple rant is over.
