Why does the community treat new players like garbage?

I met a new player and decided to help him out. This is some 3rd grader. We did the new light missions then I took him I to private matches because we were going to go into control for the new light quest from shaxx. I tried to see what I can do to improve his aim, teach him about awareness, what job each type of weapon has and how they are used, ect. We then decided to go into control after 2 private matches. Out of all 3 matches, he got aggressively tbagged each one. And on the 3rd on, he got a message along the lines of "you cant even play the game. That's why in bagging. Just uninstall". What. The. F***. I don't have words to describe how pissed I was. What the f*** is wrong with this community🤦‍♂️ This all around is just completely messed up. I feel bad for the kid. He was actually having fun with the game. I'm disappointed in this community. We have stooped so low to a point I didnt think we could get to. This is not how new players should be treated. In fact, this ain't how people in general should be treated. How is this acceptable? Edit: Forgot to mention this because I just went to bed after writing this but I had already informed him about crucible not really being fun and it being toxic. When he did get bagged, he told me he was going to bag them back and I said not to. I told him to not stoop to their level. He then told me to go 1v1 them and I said no because I'm not going to that far and waste my time on some bozo with an ego. I never really do 1v1s in the first place because I find it a waste of time unless its with my buddy's for funsies and we do stupid stuff or I'm trying to help a new player like that kid. I already had him block the one who messaged him and told him to ignore people like that because they may feel good about themselves. But in reality, they are making themselves look extreamly stupid and that they have the mental capacity of a zucchini. The kid didnt seem bothered much and was ignoring it which is good, but I can't stand by and let that s*** slide. Especially if I'm the one helping him. Because it's still messed up no matter how you look at it. Edit 2: Some of you are missing the point. Yes, the kid is a 3rd grader. No, I'm not his parent. I didnt give him the ok to play a game at the age he isnt supposed to. And if I had a kid, I most likely wouldn't let them play the game at his age either in the first place, or at least without my supervision. But its 2020 and heading into 2021, people are -blam!-. I'm not angry at the fact that he is a kid experiencing this. I'm angry that new players in general are being treated in a similar manner. I've seen a good chunk of new players on the forums and in the game getting treated like garbage. That's why I'm writing about this.

    The Destiny player base is vile at its core because the game does so much to turn people against each other. I mean do you see the hate for different classes? You can thank an overtly taken serious PvP space where some treat it like it's life. Trials and comp don't help it.

      The kid will be fine, it’s not your place to fight his corner for him. This communities aggression pales in comparison to anything from 10-15 years ago. With that outlook, I imagine you wouldn’t have lasted five minutes in a COD lobby, but it sounds like the young lad was more mature. Instead of throwing accusations around, you need thicker skin I’m afraid, mate.

        Alot of players that act this way suffer from little d syndrome and by bagging other players and saying the stuff they do makes them feel bigger is all.

        [quote]I met a new player and decided to help him out. This is some 3rd grader. [/quote] I think your anger is misdirected. A 3rd grader is approximately 8 years old. This game has a rating of Teen. An 8th grader probably shouldn't even be playing a SHOOTER without parental supervision right there in the room with them. This brings me to the REAL bee in my bonnet.... what kind of parent lets an 8 year old get on the microphone and participate in party chat with adults? I personally don't like t-bagging but it happens in PVP, it's part of the normal, accepted behavior in these types of game modes. As for the messaging, well again, why doesn't the parent have their PSN (xbox or pc) account set to only allow friends to send messages? You had a nice thought to help the kid but honestly, the kid never should have been there unsupervised in the first place. I think you should be pissed at the parent / guardian of the child... not the community.

        • Only time it is appropriate to send a hate message if when your teammate takes 4+ lives in every round of comp and goes negative every time

        • If you're on Xbox, and they message someone with derogatory stuff, report them. Depending on what they said, they can get banned for a week or even more for really offensive stuff. T-Bagging is so immature.

        • Because it's a video game on the internet? If you can't handle getting tbagged and messaged, maybe it's better you stay inside and never interact with anyone in the real world.

        • I just play with my friends: I don't send hatemail its silly. I emote people just cause I can, and only t-bag when Ive had a bad day and am blowing off steam or if they have done it to me first. If any thing I will some times send out GGs to those opponents that I feel stuck with it even if they where outnumbered or struggling but lost to me any way.

        • He can set his box to private and ignore t bagging. That's just the way it is. In D1 I never received a hate mail. D2 appeals to a younger audience... so hate mail. Set my box to private. I still rarely get bagged. Only time I bag is for toxic behaviour, but I really don't think it matters. It's a game and you sound awful butthurt. I think you have control issues. You're seeking to regain control through this useless post, but you can't. Personally, I like the new influx of bad players in pvp. If they're going to take away sbmm, we need bad players so us average players can at least do okay.

        • I mean it’s just people bagging and sending messages. Who tf cares? Literally block and move on. If you let these people get to you you will never improve. Every multiplayer game now has people like this. All I can say is get thicker skin and move on.

          • You have a small percentage of the community confused with the larger whole of the community. It seems like it is the larger % of the two, but it is not. [b][i]Do not[/i][/b] believe the majority of that which you see in the forums and "Fireteams" tab is the whole community at large. It isn't. I, for one, have no problem giving people a hand if they ask for it. Half the reason I play is to get with others and knock stuff out.

            Not gonna lie, althoigh this may be an unfortunate outcome, being told to uninstall the game is like a generous compliment compared to the a fraction of the things I've been called. I swear kids these days would have never survived during the Xbox 360 era. You're always going to find dingbats in online games and there's no way around it unless you only play with your close knit friends and even then, they will start busting your back too. It's only a matter of time. It is here I will give a bit of faith to the Destiny community. Although there is a lot of garbage people and downright toxic community members in here Destiny is actually pretty chill overall. Stay away from CoD or LoL. Those people will make you want to F in chat and minecraft yourself.

              This is why you lock down everything if you are on a console, no messages in no messages out. Best for everyone imo.

            • Not everyone, you will find a home within destiny. I know many players and clans that will give their time and energy to new player, no matter the stare of the game.
