People are always looking for metrics by which to judge others in Destiny. Besides grimoire, I'd say either having or not having those three weapons is the best indicator of what kind of player you are.
The cool thing is each one says something different about you. Touch of Malice shows determination. It says that you cared enough to find 45 calcified fragments (regardless of what method you used to find them) and perhaps most importantly you have finished the raid.
Sleeper Simulant shows you are an active member of the community. Let's be honest probably 99.6% of us had to look up the steps and/or passcodes. The guys who figured this all out are legends and in a completely separate category from most of us. Basically it shows that you check the forums and know how to look up stuff on Destiny.
I saved the best for last. Black Spindle. One of the fiercest challenges I have ever faced as a Guardian. Easily the best indicator of skill out of the three. It's unlikely you got carried through that mission and shows that you pulled your weight.
If you don't have all three you are a filthy, disgusting casual and The Traveler frowns upon your existence :) git gud scrubs.
Edit #1. Wow this blew up overnight. Many of you have requested that I add the Chaperone and exotic swords to this. I have the Chaperone and it does belong here. Using a nerfed Last Word in the crucible was a true test of character (excluding boosting of course). I don't have my exotic sword yet (I'm close) so I can't speak on that.

Have all but black spindle due to being away

When you get all 5 that's when the real question presents itself: now what?
-
I have all 3 and get laid fairly regularly, I'd call that win win.
-
Thanks man. Good to know I'm not a scrub.

4 RepliesSo u dont have a sword? I have 2 Malices (3 if they unlock the terminal), All 3 Swords and 2 Spindles. So by your definition you're a "scrub" compared to me. Take tht elitist stereotypical statement and turn it on yourself. "Git GUDDD".
-
Lol you dont have a sword... "gitgud" ;)
-
i have them all ;)
-
Signed all 3. Like how you given all 3 their own characterisitic. Determination, skill and active member
-
Got all 3.

3 RepliesDon't yet have ToM, just turned in the 50 flakes yesterday. All I got was a charged antiquated rune, is this what was supposed to happen?
-

Edited by No_OneLoves_You: 10/12/2015 8:46:57 AMGot the Touch of booty Chaperone Black spindle Sleeper simulant Raze lighter. Id say my most prized one is the touch of malice. The emblem is awesome and sometimes being the only one with it in a raid makes me feel like a god amongst men. (No elitism intended) :)
-
I dont get how people can say a bad/low grimore score means you suck how many of those ppl saying that used a walk through guide to cheat all the ghosts or calcified fragments and thats like what 75% of the grimore
-
Touch of malice is the only one that should ever be required and that's for hard mode, I don't think you should play normal before hard and I won't play with anyone that hasn't completed normal before hard, so touch of malice will be a requirement for that.

1 ReplySo many want to find these measurements by which they can say they're better than others. I don't get the need of all these posts. "If your grilimore isn't over 4000 you suck!" "Sign here if you k/d is over 2.0" "Sign here if you have all these weapons" I'm guilty of signing my share. But after a year of this shit, when is enough, enough? In year 5, you're going to need a grilimore over 15,000 and a vault filled with nothing but exotics and proof that you live in a camper surviving on red bull while only playing Destiny all day every day to be considered good at this game.

Check, check and check.
