We, and in particular myself, don't like playing with young ones; aka squeakers, because all they typically do is brag about how good they are, or what they can do, or bark orders repeatedly
[spoiler]"SHOOT CROTA SHOOT CROTA SHOOT CROTA SHOOT CROTA SHOOT CROTA SHOOT CROTA SHOOT CROTA SHOOT CROTA SHOOT CROTA SHOOT CROTA SHOOT CROTA SHOOT CROTA SHOOT CROTA SHOOT CROTA SHOOT CROTA, BOOMERS! BOOMERS! BOOMERS! BOOMERS! BOOMERS! BOOMERS! BOOMERS! BOOMERS! GET TO MIDDLE< I SAID GET TO MIDDLE !!! WHY ARENT YOU GETTING TO MIDDLE YET!!! DUDE !!! YOU !! HOW COME YOU ARE RUNNING AROUND UP TOP!!! GET TO MIDDLE ! " .. . . . non stop the whole damn encounter
[/spoiler]
Listen kids, we know we have to shoot crota. Just say it once.
Stop trying to blame every little thing on every little damn death. Randomness happens, sometimes we poke out too far and get hit by a hobgoblin.
Your age group tends to not let anything go as well. So what if someone asked if you shot a rocket correctly. Just say that you did and 'lets get this next time", Why are you still yapping about some insignificant comment 30 minutes later ?
Even you make mistakes. Every death is magically lag issues or glitches when a squeaker actually dies.
Look, if someone else dies, sometimes it is your damn fault for not covering them.
I don't need to hear a run down comparison of all your accomplishments and prior drops. Lets just kill the stuff in front of us and have fun.
I also do not want to hear about how 'easy' this is with your other friends. They aren't here helping you get raid gear at the moment.
Stop acting like a superman hero who can solo entire 6 person fights. When we say wipe just jump off so we can restart. I see that you have the relic, just let it go man, you aren't finishing the fight. Don't drag it out another 5 minutes.
We get it, you can aim well and know the fights. Sometimes the rest of the team doesn't and often times we are playing after work getting drunk. You will get there one day :)
I have never seen or witness anyone getting upset at you when you have to afk to talk to your parents, so don't get upset when someone else wants a smoke break after the third downed boss. ( I am not the smoker ).
I will kick you the second you throw a tantrum about anything. It is not fun, and I like to play to have fun.
Learn to shut up once in a while. I don't need constant chat fest about what your favorite weapon is and every little fact you know. We know just as much. I'd rather hear the cues of what's going on.
Why is it the only time I see most of you is when you 'need' something done? We all need stuff done. When you join up on our party chat and we are doing some runs, we may not always do the one run you need on your third character. Some of us work and would like to do our first raid of the week. What?! You need a nightfall, thats good, but we are running a raid. You can join us or wait until some of us can help out with nightfalls. Or you're welcome to join us in the raid. Why does it always have to be 'your character's needs' or nothing?
For the love of all that is holy, please don't yell at people in your household while your mic is on. None of the other 5 people want to hear "WHAAAAAAT ?!?!??!?" in that annoying irritated tone blasted into our ears. Just say 'guys can you hold on a sec?' and then mute your mic.
If I ignored your first 200 invites in the same hour, guess what ? I don't want to raid at the moment. Let it go.
Look, I understand that there are several strategies. But when 3-4 of my friends have run these hundreds of times a particular way and are trying to help you out, be nice and give it a go a few times. I don't need to hear a 50 minute break down of all possible ways to do every encounter. If we wipe X+ times in a row, then yes, a debate is in order. Otherwise you can run your own raid and lead it.
In conclusion, these are the things people refer to by squeakers, not the pitch of your voice.

Edited by Winter: 8/29/2015 8:02:46 AMIm the silent guy and i am fully agree with you. Have some bump ;)

From a year of playing I've never come across one.
-
You really think the squeakers are going to read this whole thing?
-
I fully agree
-
What I hate the most is it appears they also tend to be the ones, who invite their ENTIRE friends list to a message conversation and you try to leave and it keeps popping up. Look ask me directly, don't put me in a chat with other strangers i have never met, when i'm busy doing a Nightfall.

Well said.

Edited by GuillermoBarboza: 8/29/2015 7:54:01 AMSo true, little shimps.

Bump....well said

Yeah, over the years I've learned to shut the hell up unless necessary.
-
Had this "squeaker" try and tell me I was the vog and I was like I've been playing since launch day and have like 600 more hours put into this game than u do xD

This is hilarious and so damn true.

2 RepliesEdited by Karza: 2/8/2015 5:18:08 AMI hate playing with kids,I don't care if they sound like an adult either,I don't want to play with them. I feel heaps uncomfortable when I talk to them. [spoiler]One time I was playing online (not Destiny,I forget which game) and this kid was coming on to me.He was 9,I'm over 20.Super uncomfortable.Never again.[/spoiler]

NECROBUMP

I play with these types of people sometimes and I don't mind. Just they need to know when to talk and when to be quiet. I have a friend who was like this but I showed him the error of his ways.
-
Well put.
-
Long story short - it's not your voice, it's the fact that YOU NEVER SHUT UP and all you do is spew crap. Just shut the hell up!

4 RepliesHere in Holland the game is 16+. I don't understand how 10 year old kids are even allowed to play it.
-
Dude I feel you here I'm 14 and I'm a chill player. I don't get worked up or anything like that but it's not just kids that do that, I've met many older adults that just get really excited.
-
I'm only 13 years old and I agree with this. When those little 6 year olds say oh u don't have gjallhorn guess u cant play even though you are better than them just ticks me off even adults do this some times
-
My biggest problem is the constant talking, or the "Atheon's a -blam!-ing big -blam!-ety -blam!- faced -blam!-ball." Saying "Shit!" When you die is okay, dropping fifty F-Bombs when you did is uncalled for, nor is it necessary.
-
Hear hear sir. This is well written. It would also be nice if Xbox live could add a age filter. I would prefer to play with other adults with good social skills and maturity.

Super bump

1 ReplyEvery single thing you mention can be carried over to adults so....

Edited by Apolloshot: 5/27/2015 7:46:17 PMThis isn't a guide for sqeakers; it's a guide for everyone. I've met 40 year olds who do a lot of this annoying crap. Seriously though, I feel like we're kindred spirits, all of the stuff you listed absolutely annoys the hell out of me. PS I'd also add eating crunchy food over your mic.

you know kids around that age think they know everything already. When they start to pay bills and taxes, they'll learn to sit down and shut up
