Of Trolls & Children: The Guardian Malcontents

[i](TL;DR at bottom)[/i] It appears some of the rank and file need to be trained in civility so I shall address it plainly. Our dear community is horrendously misrepresented by an assemblage of ignorant try-hards. Their unchecked voices have officiously spoken on behalf of a great many who, not only may disagree, but have detrimentally done so without objectivity or reason. To put it simply, we the Destiny community are generalized as trolls; just as incoherent, ignorant, and vicious as those found elsewhere. Are we not better than that, my fellow Guardians? To voice one's dissatisfaction is absolutely acceptable and necessary if Destiny is to be successful as an Intellectual Property. Anyone who adamantly proclaims Destiny is without fault is inherently delusional. And as an accredited Intellectual Property, Destiny must satisfy or otherwise placate its growing player-base or risk failure. Yet this cannot be done from listening to unintelligible caterwauling. To have a defined voice to engender change, a prospective Guardian must submit to civility; they must speak with concise deliverance, weigh their words with tactfully written prose and sound reason if they are to ever be taken seriously. Within the minority, it's believed Bungie listens despite what may seem as being inattentive or negligent. And as it so happens, I'm in the minority. However, I believe Bungie's attention is limited, restricted by the confines of their own community. The Guardian Malcontents that misrepresent the community are barbaric in their protesting. Together, they eagerly hurl abuse at Bungie for an infinite number of reasons, disparage and insult any Guardian who disagrees, and use such inflammatory speech it borderlines on harassment. It is tragic that the wholesale judgment of this community is defined by such unbecoming barbarism. This, my fellow Guardians, is why Bungie "doesn't listen". They comb through forums looking for what players desire and are instead met with far too much derogation. Imagine, you trying to do your job only to have a never ending torrent of insults thrown at you, told repeatedly and aggressively you preform so poorly at your occupation that people want you fired or replaced. And then, once you try to make one step in the right direction, you are scolded and vehemently reprimanded for "not being good enough" and then told you are an abysmal failure. It is a crude way of behaving, even if you hate Destiny. [b]TL;DR[/b] Bottom line: If you've something to complain about, please, for the sake of civility, do so with a measured demeanor and give substantial reason as to why. It benefits no one to stir uncalled for hostility, least of all Bungie or Destiny. Better yet, provide actual feedback if you want something changed. After all, that is what that section is for my fellow Guardians.

  • you make a very well written post and have a valid argument. however, you kind of lost me at "ignorant try-hards." had you refrained from labeling and stereotyping others, your point might have maintained some credibility. to me, the notion of anyone being a "try-hard" is laughable. attempting to label another gamer as one who takes it too seriously and tries too hard to succeed at it is illogical in a progression based game when everyone shares the common goal of in-game success. the term is used exclusively by those who are not as successful in order to try and shame those who outperform them. call me a dinosaur, but i cut my mmo chops in everquest where the choice was simple: try hard or be a scrub. zero consideration was made for casual gamers, so either you joined a guild that did progression raids every night, or you accepted your fate. enter wow and we so-called try-hards poopsocked our way up and down raid content for years until blizzard decided to nerf progression enough to allow casual raiders to have a sizeable piece of the pie. now gamers are entitled and expect to have top tier items and have even gone so far as to make up derogatory names for the most motivated gamers calling them elitists, poopsocks, try-hards, etc. tbh, i think it's hilarious and would take any of those terms as a compliment to my playstyle. i don't see how anyone can be considered a try-hard in a game that has no actual raid content. 3 man groups, 5 man groups? elle oh elle. the best content we have ever had in destiny is comparable to a wow heroic just for the sheer fact that it requires what is considered a single group worth of players to clear. rest assured, as long as progression based games exist, there will be those of us who have more time to invest in them and as such may have an increased incentive to be successful at playing them. attempting to insult anyone else for having more playtime and/or an increased desire to be competitive in a specific game is childish. [b]TL; DR[/b] good job on showcasing your grammar and vocabulary in an effort to justify your position, but your point is lost due to your apparent hypocrisy. upon further review of your response to others in this thread, you find it agreeable to insult others but are quick to dismiss them when they say something that you deem offensive. communication doesn't work that way.
