I'm 73 - was top scorer in an Iron Banner match!
Yes, I'm really 73 in a couple of weeks and Destiny is the first video game I ever played. I was a 2014 Christmas nube and have played almost every day since late January of 2015. I'm not very good because of my reflexes and eyesight. I also have periferal neuropathy, a nerve condition that causes your hands and feet to go numb. I played alone for 8 months because I had zero skills and didn't want to be the guy that people didn't want on their fire team; bad KTD ratio. Eventually I got better ( thanks to gameguy1973) and recently I started going to Iron Banner but I was never able to complete the bounty requiring you to get the highest score - until tonight. So don't get discouraged if things don't go your way. If an old fart like me can do this you good players can do anything.
Edit: Just wanted to take a minute and thank you guardians for all the nice comments, support, friend requests and invitations to clans. I'll try to respond where appropriate. To you few doubters I'll try to post something on YouTube to prove my age. Got to get the camera back from my daughter.
Edit: Didn't need the camera, I used my iPad to record and post to YouTube. We old dogs can learn new tricks.

2 RepliesYou are inspiring my friend. I am 46 and always avoid telling ppl my age when I team so I don't feel like "that guy". Whatever "that guy" is... probably just the guy in my head telling me that all the pups with lightning thumbs will not want to play with me. I feel you on the Crucible/Iron Banner as I was intimidated after trying it back in Y1 and getting a message from a random team mate telling me how much I sucked. He was a d***head for saying it, but he wasn't wrong. So I stayed out of PvP for a long time. After a long hiatus and migrating to the One I lost the few amigos I played with and now generally solo, so I jumped back into PvP. I watched some immensely helpful videos from you tubers (thx TrueVangaurd, Mtashed, & others!) and started working at it. After starting with a K/D of around 0.5, I finally cracked 1.00 lifetime. Iron Banner was the worst thing and now is my favorite. Thank you for sharing your story. I hope to see you in there if you play on Xbox.

4 Repliesdestiny needs more players like you, the kind that don't give up or doubt themselves and others. i have autism and anxiety and am not very good in competitive destiny games like trials and kings fall. nobody ever invites me to fire teams so I've almost given up on kings fall raid.

Bumping this. Way to go Bungie! Reading the interview of a "silver fox" was truly enjoyable. Hat tip to Galford, the guardians recommending the interview and Bungie's staff #cozmo #Deej
