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.

2 RepliesHave all of these (also exotic sword and chaperon , this one on tuesday :P) so it seems I'm good at this game xD
-
There is only in emerging that matters in a video game. Fun, and how much you are having. That's it.
-
2 RepliesWell this sucks for me... All 3 exotic swords obtained the first week they were available All 3 class exclusive exotic Sleeper 3 spindles And obviously touch of malice
-
Have all 3 so does that make me special or to much damn free time?
-
1 ReplyHave all 3. Great fun getting them. I actually like the SS in certain situations.

Edited by Enemy: 10/11/2015 3:12:10 PMWhy does getting 3 exotics not make you a 'scrub' again? Oh wait i see. Cause I'm a filthy casual 'scrub' the traveler frowns down upon. Hmm, to bad my priorities are focused on getting ready for trials and iron banner. I do have a chaperone and [b]an exotic sword [/b] (and I see the only reason you haven't said an exotic sword doesn't make you a 'scrub' is because you don't have it yet so you don't want to be a 'scrub') but scrub is just a word from (probably a 12 year old) from somewhere he feels safe to cuss from his mom (unless your an adult then I support your free speech) but just call them casual because people really don't want to farm for all that just to not be called a name from a kid/adult

2 RepliesI have all of those excluding chaperone, it was annoying enough trying to kill people with a nub of a sword lol
-
Thanks OP. Now I can sleep at night knowing im not a scrub :)
-
Then you're a no life
-
One frag from tier 3 next week and I've got my malice
-
1 ReplyI need 12 more frags, and I someone just told me another 30 flakes.
-
Thanks for saying that :') I'm crying
-
I have Sleeper and the Malice, but the reason I didn't get the spindle is because I was never a huge black hammer fan anyway and this is just a nerfed version of it anyway, but to each his own. I'm loving the Malice and Sleeper right now though.
-
2 RepliesThe sleeper gave me every current available exotic weapon
-
I have all three. But judging someone on the net because they don't have all the "pixels" you have is just stupid.
-
4 RepliesSome people are involved in extra curriculars or work soooo...
-
3 RepliesYou're a scrub if you don't have every exotic. Those 3 weapons are easy to obtain.
-
Judge people? Lol, what a loser.
-
Edited by ProFive94: 10/11/2015 1:34:12 PMI would have the black spindle, but I never get a chance to play during the week.
-
13 RepliesI disagree, It's comes down to personal preference, I would much rather help friends with the raid then get a gun I won't use (ToM)
-
I have all those plus all the exotic swords you disgusting filthy casual nub! ;)
-
Edited by Tomnipotent: 10/11/2015 1:20:40 PMI dont see how any pve related content requires any form of skill. You and i both have the black spindle not because we are better than others, we have it because rng provided us with the right gear and we had the right light level. I dont pat myself on the back for killing mindless, predictable AI, true skill comes from out gunning and out smarting other intelligent & experienced human beings in the crucible. Personally i think the jade rabbit is better than the touch of malice, both have unlimited ammo but jade has it in more circumstances, touch of malice is only practical in the raid so once i got jade i saw no reason to grind for ToM. Sleeper simulant quests were stupid easy, all you had to do was be online. That required no skill what so ever.
-
The chaperone worths an exotc shatd. Nothing more.
-
I've got the touch and the spindle but I wasn't on the day the sleeper mission was out.
-
I have those + the 3 exotic swords and most exotics currently available. The grind continues.
-
What if I only have Sleeper and Touch of Malice?
