Unsportsmanlike Behavior in PVP

Hello Guardians, [i](Make sure to read the edits at the bottom of this post)[/i] I am proud to say that I am an avid supporter of the Destiny community. However, there is a line that is crossed CONSTANTLY while playing Trials of Osiris, and any other form of PVP. Every week, I hop onto Destiny with friends and clan mates in order to dominate the playing field in order to gain the Trials gear. With that said, there are many groups of people that can best us, whether our game is off, or they are just overall better at Trials. After winning the match (and during the match), there is many people "teabagging" and showing unsportsmanlike behavior. Not only do people do things non-verbally, there is many times that players have messaged me calling me out for me and my clan's skill level, which I find disrespectful. All in all, I don't expect this to stop. It is sadly a part of the competitive gaming culture. However, I think that Destiny as a gaming community is one of the greatest. PVE is the prime example of this. Random strangers will help you out in tough encounters with enemies, help you complete the raid if you never have, cheer you on for gaining cool loot and much more things that make this game extremely different from any other. I would LOVE to see this more in Destiny PVP. I am not asking for the skilled players to be less competitive, or to purposely lose a round. If you want to go 5 - 0, do it! I encourage you. However, reframe from being rude to fellow players. They are here because the love playing the game, just like you. If this topic has been touched upon before, I apologize for not looking into it. I wanted to voice my own opinion and I hope that you can respect this. If you agree with this, please comment your thoughts. I would like to see this on the trending forum post so that Bungie can see this. [b]EDIT:[/b] After reading many messages, let me make a few things clear. I am not raging, nor am I a sore loser. What I am saying is there is a lot of rude people who play the game and that goes with ANY multiplayer game. That's how it is! And I am not a fan of teabagging because it is degrading and shows that the players think they are the shit. However I could care less. The thing that pisses me off the most is when people message me afterwards with rude messages. Now just because I dislike these things, doesn't mean I can't handle it. I love Destiny and it's community, and what I am trying to say, is that we are better than that. To all of you people who have commented stories of helping others to the lighthouse, congratulating people on their performance, thank you. You are the guardians that deserve the rewards. You guys have fought, won, and continue to win afterwards because of your awesome leader skills. [b]Final Edit:[/b] Thank you for all the feedback. Once again, this isn't about having my feelings hurt, or that people are bullies and need to stop (which bullying is a serious issue), its more about how you act. Most of you are taking the Teabagging part of this post to literally. Overall I am saying is don't be a dick. However, I did recognize that it is impossible to eliminate that behavior. I have been told many stories of cyberbullying that has occurred through Destiny, and I think that shouldn't be okay to do. [b] I am the voice for the people that are scared to be judged or bullied on online forums or in game for voicing their opinions.[/b]

      • I only teabag friends who take it as a joke. I always display proper etiquette in online PVP games.

      • This community is not better than that. It's trash and everyone knows it. Just block the idiots who message and roll your eyes at the tbaggers.

        • I feel tea bagging should be reserved for: 1: Playing with Friends 2: Shutting down hardcore campers. 3: Super Shutdown. I think in general tea bagging is kind of stupid and unsportsmanlike but there are some warranted situations where nutz are only fitting. Tea bagging was more fun in Halo 3 lol the body would bounce in response to the motion, made it way less symbolic and more lol.

          • TLDR; If I see you in the crucible I'm bagging you just because of this post.

          • 3 types of baggers 1. The 'I'm doing this to induce rage on my enemies' tactic - we all play worse when too fired up 2. The 'I should have died to you but somehow I came out victorious' bag 3. The 'I bag everyone,everyday..even if it costs me my life/dignity'

            • You do realize you're posting on a Bungie forum right? AKA the birthplace of competitive (console) gaming ala Halo. Destiny, like CoD and Halo, are all about bragging, mouthiing off and pissing contests. You're deluding yourself if you think that's ever going to change. That said, it'd be a lot better if the lag wasn't so game-breaking (usually the main thing that causes me to rage. I can take losing, I can't take being cheated out of kills/wins) and if folks would generally stop being BM when they haven't earned it. Too many little turds out there who think they're amazing after 1 lucky kill and then start tbagging and talking smack.

            • I try to restrain myself to one well-deserved tbag or dance per match. Whether that's due to my team's skill or the enemy just screwing up in a really sad way that makes it deserved varies greatly.

            • I disagree. Destiny's community is amongst the worst I've experienced. Although I don't condone rude behavior in PvP, it's mostly done to either a) affect your game because the 'bully' is intimidated, or b) they simply are projecting their own insecurities and pretty much hate their life. I like to think it's more the former. All competition needs trash talk more or less. If you can't take it, then don't play. This is coming from someone that doesn't tea bag or anything. I feel my play does enough talking, or the other person isn't worth the breath.

              • The rude elitist that teabag aren't that good when they play people their skill level. The kids who do that do it to pick on those they can beat. Rest assured when they play good teams they rage hard :)

              • T-bagging is Bungie Culture. Be honored you are playing a game where it all began.
