Guided games and Decline of Community

I am a longtime veteran of Destiny. Been playing since the beginning. I have run hundreds of Raids and helped tons of people get there 1st completion of Raids in D1 and D2. With that said this brings me to guided games and the community in general. The only thing I have not completed is Spire. I attempted it 1st week and was with groups that every time we would get to the boss they would want to go turn in engrams to power up and never want to go back. Then I got busy. So recently I found some time and have been trying to complete Spire. What I have found is NO ONE GUIDES on Guided games at least on XB1. After spending hours in guided games queue seeking help while also using LFG sites trying to get help the other thing that became apparent is sherpas have been replaced by profiteers and elitists. Not to say that there isn't a few of us that just enjoy helping and the challenge of helping out there, but we are very few. You can't get in a group anymore because most are looking for emblems and checking raid reports and if you don't have 50 clears and no life then you can't play. It makes it impossible to play things after a few weeks from launch. So Bungie a suggestion make guiding more rewarding for guides give incentive besides stupid emblems for people willing to help via guided games. Also put an estimated wait time some people don't have to guess if anyone is helping. Most importantly make the guided games queue run in the background so you can continue playing other things while you wait and then have the game give you notice when a match is found. This is yet another case of a great idea with terrible delivery. Kind of like Escalation Protocol. Then as for the community I don't understand 1st why someone would pay a person to play a game for them especially when none of the loot in this game matters. Profiteering comes from a market created and if people stop paying then profiteering will stop. And elitism is just ugly. Yay you beat a Raid or Lair, now pass it on help others and you will have more players to choose from when you want to run a Raid. Who cares about someone's raid report. If your really good you can help people and get through. That doesn't mean that you keep trying to drag someone that doesn't get it or keeps dying 100s of times. But hell you don't know until you let them try. But that's just how I feel from years of playing and seeing the difference in communities from 2 games.
