Destiny came and all of a sudden everyones "Pro". (A note on playerbase and the VoG)
Yesterday I played through the Vault of Glass fully for the first time.
It was great to see the beautiful design of it, but the problem was the people I was with.
For starters, it was a bunch of younger dudes who have a mouth on them xD
This guy was so proud to tell us how his lvl 30 has done the raid 100 times and that his own vault is filled with Legendaries and Exotics.
At first I was impressed, but once we got to the Templar... everything changed.
This was no longer the raid I played the first time, and died multiple times trying to do it legit.
No.
Instead, we had this lvl 30 telling me that "Hunter's are useless in the VoG". To which I asked why (considering we had a lvl 29 Hunter with us and I myself play as a Hunter), and he merely responded because they are.
Now it was only when we got to the Templar that I realised why I wasn't enjoying this.
The players were more concerned with glitching the Templar and Atheon, pushing them off the edge with their EPIC WARLOCK GRENADES, while me and another player sat in a corner, feeling goddamn useless. It sucked.
The whole point of a raid is to come together as a team and devise strategies to defeat the obstacles in front of you. I hardly felt like I even did anything in the raid, as these guys carried on talking about their "Amazing skills at pushing Atheon".
So, I sat in Atheons lair, literally hiding behind a -blam!-ing pillar while this dude compalined that Atheon was not going in the right spot.
I hadn't even shot a single shot at him, I hardly even knew what I was doing because this group were so focused on glitching him out.
I'm now on the Hard mode of the raid, but I don't dare go for it with another bunch of randoms for fear of sitting in a corner once more, listening to try hards as they talk about their 1000000 Exotics and Legendaries.
In conclusion, people are more concerned with glitching a raid and gaining loot, than actually finishing it legit.
[b]What is the point of glitching to get gear, when the gear is used for the Raid anyway? If you want play a dress up sim, go ahead and google a shitty flash game.[/b]
For this asking I'm on xbone

Seriously! I had never completed the raid so I was desperate to find any group. The only group I found were awful at actually damaging the enemies and oracles. So they decided we should attempt the knock-off trick. Then when that didn't work, The group leader wanted us all to kill ourselves so Atheon would focus solely on him. It was fine the first ten times, After that he started getting upset because he was dying so he yells at the fireteam saying "You guys aren't being TEAM PLAYERS, You need to kill yourselves faster and stop wasting my time" Eventually the ass wipe quit in frustration without a word, we stayed in the vault and brought in a backup random, He convinced us to back out and attempt Hard Mode. Many of our group had never completed the raid fully so we were skeptical. But this person was more patient, and not expecting a flawless victory, And it turned out that many of our group completed the raid for the first time EVER! and it was also on HARD. I personally got the Helm, Sparrow, Epilogue first time! It really just goes to show that no matter how many exploits or anything is in the game, If you don't have good team work and patience for failures then you're gonna have a bad time no matter what. I don't blame people for using the Knock Off trick. They are underpowered and feel less than useful, so they want to become useful again so they glitch, they don't do it to personally hurt anyone or devalue your gear, they just want to not be looked down on by people and want to have a purpose in the game they play, No body wants to be the guardian at the tower holding a cardboard sign saying "WILL RAID FOR GEAR", begging people to help them, and feeling like a burden on people who quite frankly put in a little work and were incredibly lucky on a slot machine pull. Nobody is wrong for playing the game anyway that is available, without actually going into the data and making MODS. But it is being abused by elitist OCD assholes who like to rub level 30 in everyones faces! and tell you theres no way for you to complete a given challenge because you aren't like them! Now that is a really annoying problem!
