Never let a stranger 'borrow' your bike. First rule of childhood, we all have to learn somehow.
Kid share plays Destiny to stranger...

- Start date
I enjoy Destiny but no way would I let my little kids play it. That's like exposing them to a Casino slot machine. I recall seeing a mom buying Destiny at best buy buying Destiny for her kids. I talked her out it. At least an adult can recognize Destiny is a slotmachine and have the self control to sell it, keep playing, or whatevs
Destiny is a parents best friend, spend $60 once and not have to buy their kids a new game for months at a time, saving $

Heh.
The kid will be fine.
Life lessons are different nowadays compared to when I was a kid. Don't let people have a shot of your bike or borrow your football.

As i answered for another user, i just have the opinion that 11 year kids should not be playing these kind of games, also i even though it was rated M. This have nothing to do with the fact that the other guy was a complete asshole, i agree.

Isn't that the same for every game with random rewards? I haven't played Destiny so I don't know exactly what it is that sets it aside that far (I understand every 'round' ending gives a random prize to one player only or something?) but it sounds like you may be overreacting a tad?

I feel really bad for the kid but, in the end, he will learn his lesson and move on.
Something needs to be done to the asshole that did this tho. Specially since it's not even his "first offense".
Please ban him from destiny. Or even better ban his PSN account.

I know, right. Some of these people are acting like the stranger killed the boy's dog. It's just a video game. Maybe they should be more concerned over the fact that the child is so addicted to a game it caused him to cry. That can't be healthy.

Ok, now this is just wrong.
There's nothing wrong with the kid. The game is fun. You invest hours into it. If somebody deleted my chars I'd be legit sad and angry. I wouldn't cry but I'm not a kid. He is.
You can totally feel bad for the kid and still think that his stuff shouldn't be returned. I'm like that. Doesn't change the fact that something should be done against the prick that did this.

These descriptions, it's way too early to be watching something that sad sounding. Feel bad for the kid, but at least he won't make the same mistake again. Hopefully the guy gets banned permanently.

Was probably somebody from Bungie. Anything to keep people coming back...
If we got your mother on the phone right now, I'm sure she can tell us stories of a young uncle cross taking video games too seriously
probably doesn't have kids (or of that age) to understand - like you said, I'd be really angry, not least because I get so little gaming time that it'd be impossible to regain such a loss! It's like my Far Cry 4 save, it's taken me 6 weeks to get to 28% - if that corrupted I'd be near tears! lol

Dumb kid and asshole troll.

Kid has learned a valuable lesson.
What? That entirely depends on how you play Destiny and what your goals are.
Anyway, I do have sympathy for the child. Pretty horrible thing to do. On a similar note a couple or my friends had a bet some time ago (I may have instigated it) that if one managed to finish higher on the leaderboard than the other in a crucible match then the "winner" gets to remote play in while streaming and delete an exotic of their choosing. This was when the Vex Mythoclast was riding high and relatively rare. You can guess the rest...

New Disney/Pixar movie?
EDIT: Asshole Troll is one hell of an evocative imagery.
You know you can make a backup of your FC4 save, right? Problem with Destiny is that it's all server side.

pretty harsh to call someone who has only been on this planet 11 years dumb for making a bad decision. Does he atleast get a pass for not fully figuring out how people in life operate yet?

Just curious. You can get your character back right? Is everything stored on their servers?

Right? Pretty stupid if you can't.

If you got her on the phone right now it'd be a miracle. She's never awake at this time.

Sucks for the kid, but maybe it's good in the long term that he learnt this lesson is a relatively painless way.
The Kermit guy should have his PSN account terminated.
Destiny is pretty much a game of exploiting everything you can.
Exploiting the MANY raid bugs to cheese bosses is done by practically everyone.
The nightfall missions are often practically impossible unless you exploit the bugs, hiding in unreachable areas or whatever.
I stopped playing because of how glitch-based the game was. Completing the high level content was just a case of knowing the exploits/cheese and hoping you don't get hit by the bugs. Almost every raid group I joined would start with, "So do we have a sunsinger with solar grenades?" or whatever the glitch of the week was.

There's so much wrong in this post. Not from you but Bungie.

Oh damn, they're finally adding matchmaking to the weeklies?
Yep wont let them play any online rpg with RNG in it. granted, atm all they want to play is Wii
yeah, I have PS+, I'm just saying is all
Eh? I mean, MMOs usually just add a "type the character name in for the character you want to delete to make sure you really want to delete." Destiny just has a slightly lengthy delete timer so you don't accidentally delete it so I don't think there's much they did wrong?

If anything , that stranger liberated him from the endless RNG

destiny exploits players; players exploit destiny. there's some natural law that covers this.
the players cheating in pvp with aimbots and unlimited heavy ammo are scumbags though, second only to griefers like kermit.
Ah, that's what you mean. Well, I doubt any of us know the capabilities of Bungie's online powers so I guess we'll see.

The problem is destiny doesn't have customer service like a real MMO, there is no ticket system or way to report issues except by posting on forums or getting famous on YouTube.
Good to see this made it into the bungie weekly update and they said they are looking into fixes... I'm guessing they'll make a self service recovery process to roll back your character, since there's no trading in destiny that shouldn't be exploitable.

Better for him to learn this lesson in a game then in the real world with money.
It's a shit trick for someone to play on a kid either way though.

Don't trust strangers children. The people giving him hell for wanting to glitch are too harsh, the game is a snore-fest grind until the raid. I'd want to glitch to 30 myself.
And I just wanted to log into my friends account to delete his Gjallerhorn, if I deleted all three of his 32s he would probably legit murder me.

hes a little obsessive
Seriously, why are people posting this?
Did everyone follow ESRB ratings as a kid? How about movie ratings? I know I didn't.
But, imagine a world where Bungie would let people claim deleted items? They would be SLAMMED with requests from people with pissed off SO's that delete their accounts as revenge, people that made a mistake and sat on their controllers, and people that are trying to game the system for extra vault space. It would be too much to just let all requests be filled, and they couldn't reasonably look at each case...
There is nothing more Bungie can
or should
In the past months, when shitty situations came up and people went to Reddit and posted a video of their sad-story, Bungie has swooped in to fix the situation
even if it is against the rules
Then you could game the system for vault space, or to make an extra Titan boost to 20 - and put on your old gear to get a free Raid run each 24hrs. There are just too many blatant ways to exploit a system like that.
Well, they could have a system where you can once bring back something deleted within a 24 hour period before its permanently deleted.
So a few take-a-ways from this all. He's pretty young and at best, he will have learned that not everyone is nice and wants to buddy buddy with you and help you out. At worst he lost a large amount of time, cried and will be upset for a few days/weeks.
I'm curious though, does Bungie not keep a backup of their server running with the main? A server that backs up content once a day or something? I find it hard to believe that in this day and age MMO's are running without a backup plan if something ever catastrophic happened (at this budget/AAA level of range). If Blizzard could restore accounts/characters back in the hay-day, then Bungie should have the means to do it too.

He's a kid. He has unlimited time to game. Let him do the grind again.
