Deleting From Friends List?

How many times do you play with someone you added for a Raid? For me, I keep em if they're exceptionally proficient in many aspects, especially when they have a good damn sense of humor. How many 'Friends' do you still play with that you added for a Nightfall? Me being 32 who HAS solo'd many NF's still finds comfort in helping others in an actual efficient Team instead of taking so long with every character solo. What (now that all strikes/NF's are harder per se) would take an 2 -3 hours solo for all 3, with a group (especially with communication & different classes) takes less than half the time, and is way more enjoyable. Yet, enjoyableness aside, I still delete them afterwords. Sure I still give my thanks and appreciation, give my farewell. Then, poof. Gone. I mean, come on. What's the point in having them stick around your list of friendly associates if they'll most likely end up doing Nightfalls or Raids with other groups due to being on different timezones or you aren't on fast enough to join em. Sure there's always next week, or the week after. But in a game like Destiny, that's unbearably too long just to play a 30 minute Strike/ hour long Raid when you could just find someone else in seconds. My point: Anyone else rinse their lists and repeat the process with different people each and every week to try and find the (eh) 'perfect' team? Sure, glitches and lag-switching aimbot-using mobs aside, I don't see very many reasons to keep more than 90% of anyone I ever add. [b]What about you? What's your reasons to keep em/kick em?[/b] [i]Personally: you can play like a god among men in every way, but you start harassing others for the way they act, sound, or level, I'll instantly wash my hands of you. Teamwork means being a part of a TEAM, not apart of your own punching bag collection. I want absolute positive communication at all times. Start being a bully, go -blam!- yourself[/i] Rant concluded! :) >_< TL;DR: To Friend(keep) or not to Friend(keep), that is the question!

  • I keep some, forget to add others. Then I'll randomly get invites & messages from people asking for an invite, but no idea who they are...

  • I have met some of the best people in raids, and there are three in particular that I have been raiding with every weekend for a while now. I will go to the ends of the earth and move mountains for those three guys, seriously they are super awesome. Those three are an exception and I'm so lucky to be able to work with them. Until today I kept friends I met from raids indefinitely because you never know when you might need them, but today one of them whom I had only met once for about 15 minutes hopped into the nightfall my teammate and I were just wrapping up completely unannounced, causing us both to die in the confusion of trying to scramble for Mics to communicate with him (this has seriously never happened to me before). He didn't even have the decency to fire the remaining maybe two or three shots the nexus needed for imminent death before jumping right in and dying. Afterwards, he just left the fireteam as quickly as he came. I'm almost glad we got thrown back to orbit because from that display I can only assume that he would have just run off without so much as a -blam!- you even if we had completed. Instant unfriend and now my fireteams are on permanent lockdown. Tl:Dr: unless it's the people I usually raid with, I'll only keep people I meet in raids as friends until they screw me over, then they're gone. If they just join my fireteam out of nowhere while I'm doing something and I don't complete because of their actions, they blew it. They're dead to me.

    Its like a one-night-stand isn't it? You have fun, you promise to see each other again but most of the time neither of you mean it. You got what you wanted and you move on. Then sometimes you get this random message "wanna raid?" and you can't distinguish this player from the other 30 you've raided with in the last 2 weeks. What if it was that dick who kept dieing all the time? What if it was the sword-God? Take the risk? Nah... Just head back to the Recruitment forum... Actually I random-raided with the same guy 3 times, pure coincidence. We added each other, did a couple more raids and some nightfalls but then he fell off of Destiny. *sigh* I thought we had something... Special...

    • I like to add good raid party leaders. I dont like to lead raids or put groups together. So if someone usually likes to do it and take the time to find good teams ill add them

      • I never "drop in" or "jump in" uninvited in someone's party. I appreciate the same in return. If people on my friends list do it too often, it's a reason for me to delete them. Clan members are a different story. Joined the clan to work together so we tend to party up often.

        I haven't added anybody from destiny, because I'm training my co workers and on the rare occasion I do a nightfall it's with a longtime friend. My only beef is that I wish I could participate in more of them.
