I honestly didn’t know there was a skill level for entry to any of Destiny’s activities. This has flew over my head for the past 10 years playing since day dot.
Not going to lie, today has been awful. Been reduced to tears from some of the horrible messages sent my way, and now, being hunted down on PSN to be told I’ll be reported and banned for being a bit mince at aiming / shooting. I was invited to a voice chat, but declined since I assumed I was only going to get verbal abuse thrown my way too. Also, I’ll apparently be blasted on Reddit too.
I know I’m not the greatest player and against any PC players I’m downright atrocious, but I still try and want to improve, if I can.
I have a great clan, but we aren’t always in at same time anymore. This game has helped me make real life connections, my clan came to my wedding and I’ll be forever grateful for that. However, if I’m not banned for a lack of skill, humiliated apparently on socials by strangers, I honestly am a tad scared to even set foot back into some activities from the toxic personalities there.
I posted the screenshots in twitter and I honestly doubt it will be seen or replied too, so this is just a rant pretty much, but it’s so sad to see a game I loved so much that started off as a lovely inclusive supportive place to be, turn into this cesspit of exclusion.
FYI, the person from the chat wasn’t even in my team! So targeted and such bullying behaviour.

Block, report and move on. Some people are just straight garbo you know? Don't let them stop you from having a good time.

4 commentairesC’mon. This persons opinion brought you to tears?! Serious question, are you that fragile?

Sadly it happens. Plenty of keyboard warriors out there who think it’s clever to send abusive messages. People say to ignore them, but if you’re having an off day then they can hurt as they’re simply not necessary and don’t serve any purpose other than self gratification and a feeling of superiority when, in reality it’s just cowards unable to understand that you are the better person. So, report, block, move on. Look after yourself.

3 commentairesthese two guys were really salty at me after they lost in a halo match they kept spamming me messages and as i went to go block them, one of them tells me “go make me a sandwich” lmfaoooo and then another tells me “wheres that sandwich” i told one of them to go eff himself, he reported me and i got a communication ban AND HE MSSGD ME SAYING “enjoy your comm ban lol” so i appealed it and the comment i got back from the xbox team was “…we must take action to discourage this type of conduct, even if you were not the one to start it.” and it goes on about how if one person is negatively affected, the whole community is affected blah blah blah, its ok when two guys harass a girl but when she defends herself by swearing its an offense likeeeee 🤨🤨💀💀💀💀 tbh i was more heated at the xbox team than the two losers but i hope ur ok babes and dont bother wasting your energy understanding why ppl do it or even let it affect ur mood 🩵🩵

I'm sorry you have to deal with trouble like this, but there's no need to worry. Bungie doesn't ban people for low skill. I recommend simply reporting and blocking this person wherever they are messaging you from, including this website. We ban for this kind of harassment all the time.
-
That's just onine gaming. You gotta be ready for it though it sucks that it happens. Maybe take some time to enjoy other things if this game and its community are being so hard on you.

3 commentairesModifié par Franco-Nevada : 8/27/2024 2:46:31 AMThis is an excellent opportunity to work on yourself. You can't control other people, you can only control how you react. The first thing to understand is that the person doing this is immature, socially inept, and probably a complete loser. Secondly, nothing you described is rare or out of the ordinary. I get these guys all the time. Pro-tip: if your team gets curb-stomped and you immediately receive a friend request from one of your teammates, DELETE IT =D He doesn't want to swap game-winning strategies, he wants to unload his puerile rage on you because you lowered his k/d ratio by .0001% and it's the only thing in life that gives him a sense of self-worth. If they send you a PSN friend request I highly recommend blocking them there as well. Personally, I've dealt with so many of these little midget Napoleons that I actually enjoy going at it, but it's an acquired taste.

2 commentairesI'm being genuinely concerned here, not insulting - you may want to try to talk to someone if the messages you get on PSN are getting you to tears. There's no justification for bullying, of course - but you should never take the opinions of strangers so seriously in your mind, y'know? Who cares what they think.

2 commentairesFirst time on internet. If what some random person u don’t know said some crap on the internet that brought u to tears is crazy u let people into your head like that. People need to grow up on both sides like ya it’s childish to so call harass someone on internet but it’s equally childish to shed tears about some nobody making fun of u life is tough u can’t let -blam!- bother u. Quote of the day life’s tough wear a helmet

Yep this is one of the most toxic gaming communities around. Which is insane considering it’s one of the older gaming communities also. That’s why I play literally everything solo that I possibly can and then only do LFG stuff with no mic. It sucks, I don’t get to raid really ever but besides that I still get all the other experiences. Get my solo flawless’ when there is a weapon I want, solo dungeons or 3 person-lfg-no mic, and 3 person-lfg-no mic GM’s. I choose not to use a mic and not to play with other players, not out of insecurity over my skill because I feel like I’m actually a pretty good player, but rather because I’d rather just not put up with the staggering amount of toxicity in the community. Sorry this happened to you.

The best thing to do here, is to go to your [b]social settings[/b] in game and turn your ingame chat to [b]friends & clan only.[/b] I feel for you, I was like this when I first started playing, many years ago. I have found that those who want to help you, will help and those that want to trash talk, well... that just says it all doesn't it, "Trash Talk". If they want to report you, let them, as reporting too many times for [b]no reason[/b] is against TOS and they can get banned. Take a deep cleansing breath and ignore them. Pay them no mind, as they will pay you no mind. Chin Up :)

Modifié par cryptic_king_241 : 8/28/2024 2:46:12 AMRegardless of your reaction at the time and what you received in-game, what they did was uncalled for. Taking it to PSN? It's not their problem it's Destiny 2's problem. Some people pvp for loot / rep and leave and some do pvp for pvp. Then there's someone like you described. Personal opinion, you make it sound like they said they were going to kill you and your whole family. Had that said to me after a gambit match because I nuked the boss on the 3rd dps phase from a chunk of hp to dead with my super so they believed I cheated. I've done and seen happen what I did many times, no cheats needed. Hope bungie bans them. I see no reason to msg someone after a pvp/gambit match and threaten them. Some might even associate your attacker as a stalker.

So sorry to hear you gone through all that. Multiplay gaming communities are generally full of good people, but just like life there are always those toxic prats who take pleasure in insulting/bullying others. Ignore the comments that blame you, thats stupidity of the highest order to blame victims of bullying. No justification for it at all. I would advise playing only with friends/clanmates, or going full anon like at lit of pvp players do and setting messages to ‘friends only’
-
Make it a thing that you see a single negative word in any part of a stranger's message, even the first sentence, just block and delete. Don't even finish reading it, just dump it.
-
I’d honestly post the nasty messages with their identifiers everywhere I could. I would also block them and report them many times. I’m very sorry you had to deal with this and as unfortunate as it is, this is the destiny 2 community now. I’d probably also try to go to some sort of customer support of bungie, basically anything to get them banned.

1 commentaire[quote] Been reduced to tears from some of the horrible messages sent my way,[/quote] I've never understood why people put themselves in a position like this in the first place being fully aware they have options, it was just a matter of what they do with the options. Seems to me you chose to engage when you had the option to ignore and save yourself the hassle. Was it right if what you are saying is true, no, but I won't sit here and lie to you, and go on telling you how bad people are and feeling all sorry for you. The truth here is, there are 3 sides to a story... There is their side of it. There is your side of it. And then there is the truth. The problem here is, that we are only reading your side of it and no one here knows what actually took place with some random person on the net. Although, I do have a suggestion. Think before reacting, it might help.

When players say they just want to play Destiny solo: "Get out of your comfort zone and try something new! This isn't a solo game!" [i]*One guy tries, gets instantly bullied and harassed*[/i] "Hey, I tried and got harassed, just like I was afraid of." Forum response: "LOL nut up and git gud, it's your own fault ya scrub snowflake; WTF is wrong with you?" Then instead of saying "yeah, people should be nicer," they tell you that the solution is to mute/block everyone, which basically makes Destiny a solo game again. They're just trying to keep PVP stocked with farmable easy game to hunt.

2 commentairesI used to play with some guys who'd report this one kid just because they thought it was funny

I don't know what was said and all, sorry you had to deal with that. Kinda shocked really, I've really only had one case of someone making an -blam!- of themselves. I just let it be and was like whatever. For the most part, just block these people and keep playing, enjoy the game. Don't let a couple of rude people ruin it for you.

25 commentairesI have no clue how you were "reduced to tears" from trash talk. From what youve shown its such light, heartless trash talk. Theres no soul in it. No passion. What happened to the days of 2010 Xbox live? Those were the days when it came to trash talk. If you cant handle what occurs in Destiny, man i feel sorry for you.

Bro grow up. Your married and letting children and dumbazzes on the internet effect your daily life. Take a breathe. None of these people do anything besides fill up Wendy’s bags every day
