confession: i hate the destiny community
PvE is littered with arbitrary elitism over a few items and meaningless trophies. large communities for organizing activities are toxic wastelands and it's not everywhere you'll find players welcoming of new or inexperienced players. I'd have quit ages ago if i had to deal with that on a regular basis. there's hardly much talk of making the game more accessible from Bungie; rather, some players take offense to the notion that the game be made easier or convenient, fearing it'd devalue their "achievements".
PvP players aren't much better. I'm by no means the best player, but finding other like-minded players who aren't full of themselves or too scared to play fair is a chore in its own right. The game is fun to play competitively, but without being a competitive game like Halo [used to be], it crumbles when taken seriously. There's an endless barrage of meaningless trash talk from players who think camping in control gives them "status", but they back out of every opportunity when challenged. To put it rudely, Destiny's competitive players are pussies who sully the name of the game. Furthermore, it's unusually difficult to find players who will actually sit down and discuss the game without bias on a fundamental level.
I guess it's expected. This is the same shit Bungie fostered during their Halo years and they're as pompous as they've always been when it comes to managing this community. I can't say I blame them though for treating us like children given this behavior.
