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

3 RepliesI've done the raid a number of times and allow me to share a recent experience that fits in with your "everyone is pro" post. We were a few short for our team (real life issues) so I turned to the forums to get some randoms. Now when one joins the first thing I ask is "how do you usually do this part". Since its always nice to learn new tactics for each part and more importantly if someone new is used to doing something its best to keep them doing it and i'll work my team around it since I get my team to switch positions frequently. So this one guy joins for a hard gatekeeper part then begins to tell us. "I do it the only way your supposed to do it". Not a good start, followed by his death a shocking number of times. So I question him more, his answer was. "My friend does this, My friend does that". At which point my teammate then asks "what do you do during this", to which his reply "I sit above the portals and wait". Thats what annoys me, people that shoot their mouth off telling others how to do it and lack the ability to contribute to the team. He kept dying so many times it was shocking, yet he left calling us noobs. Sorry I tend to ramble, but my point is people that the OP descibe breed these sorts of players, ones that sit in corners and just let others carry them through it and think they are raid veterans. I tend to see more of them lately which is dissapointing. In my eyes a raid vet is someone that can go into any position you ask them too and won't be a burden.
