WRONG! I'm 72 years old and new to gaming. I started with Destiny last January and it's the only game I play or have ever played. Before SBMM I always finished last in Crucible. My skills are never going to get better, only decline as I age and I think there are many players like me who because of age, physical disability, or just lack of skill will never be able to compete with the elite players. I know players in their 40's who never go to the Crucible because they can't compete. SRL was another place where we average players couldn't compete with the elites. When I first started with SRL (always finished last there too) I would be 1-5 seconds behind the player in front of me and 30 secs. behind the winner. Then as the elite players learned the map and took over the winning times dropped precipitously and player like me couldn't even get credit for finishing the race. So what happens? We go to the Crucible or SRL or ToO and get annihilated repeatedly and realize we will never get the kills necessary to complete Crucible bounties or quests or win the SRL race or reach the Tower. Is this fair to us? We are stifled in our ability to rank up or get certain weapons and rewards. I can't tell you how many times I have received absolutely NOTHING from a Crucible match and if I do get anything it's useless! I had a similar experience with SRL awards. I realize that the very skilled are going to be rewarded more than the average or poor player, that's the way this game and life works. But we mediocre players paid the same for the game as you elites so if Bungie feels they want to throw us a bone, I'm in favor of taking it. Should the lagging problems be fixed? Absolutely! No one should have an advantage or be put at a disadvantage due to a connection problem. Take your shots at me. Bring it on. I don't care!!!!!!!!! At 72 you really don't give a sh*t about other peoples opinions of you. I am always amazed at the venom and hate spewed forth on this forum. I've met many caring and helpful people in Destiny who have taken me places in the game I never thought I'd go. Unfortunately they don't come on this forum.
