[b][u]To all the "high and mighty" 32's[/u][/b]
Let me first say I know that there are plenty of 32s out there that are genuinely kind and helpful to the not so experienced guardians. I personally have a few to thank for making me the raider I am today. That being said...
I was doing a vog run on hard and made it to the oracles when one of our teammates had to leave. A few short minutes later a level 32 joins us. AWESOME! RIGHT...?
Nope. He proceeded to assume direct command before even beginning the encounter. Up until we lost someone were having a pretty smooth run with a clean strategy. Not only did he take over the play calling he started criticizing us saying he was the only one doing anything.
It doesn't end there.
After a measly TWO wipes, he proceeds to say he didn't feel like doing the oracles, oh, and he didn't want to do the Templar either. So he decided to leave, but not before asking us to reinvite him if we got past those parts. (He emphasized the if)
The original team consisted of one 29 and the rest were 31s. We weren't asking him to carry us, merely just carry the weight of a typical 6th teammate.
Moral of my story; just cause you're one level higher than most people doesn't automatically make you the raid master/play caller. Work with your team, find out they're strengths and choose a strategy that works for everyone. If you are as good as you claim you are, you shouldn't have a problem with adjusting.
Most of us take orders all day at work, we don't want to deal with it on our gaming time as well.
Edit: I don't know if people are forgetting my opening paragraph appraising all the genuine 32s, I just want everyone to know that I'm well aware that the amount of 32s that act like this are few and far in between and that there are even some lower level players with this attitude. Bottom line, no one should act like this. Interact with your team and have fun
Edit 2: to those of you crying n00b! Because we wiped at the oracles, I understand why you would think that but let me elaborate. Neither of those wipes were legit attempts to pass the phase. They were spent looking for a cubby hole(not the one with the spirit bloom chest) that one person could hide in and take out the back oracles. He didn't know where it was, only said that someone he played with used it one time. This pretty much confirmed to me that he was a level 32 due to piggybacking.

Yeah I just encounter a guy like that. We were doing the Abyss part on crotas end on our secondary characters (my main being a 32) just for the shards and maybe some armor and we were all 31 beside one guy and someone invited him just so he could get the rewards with us and he immediately starts talking crap because we were 31s and the proceeds to proclaim he was better than us just because he had 2 of the raid primaries. People like that guy are kind of the reason I never go play with randoms that invite me.
-
Which two did he have? Guessing the pulse rifle and auto rifle... The two you can get for doing the lamps lol
-
Lol I didn't bother to ask him plus we just kicked him and invited someone we actually like playing with.
-
That is a good idea too lol

I mean in crota hard mode I can understand the logic in wanting 32s, seeing that even at 32 you are handicapped, but for gods sake just cause you're a higher level doesn't give you the right to boss everyone around and talk down on them.
-
Yeah but the thing was we weren't even going through the whole thing with our 31s we were just doing the abyss on hard and we let him know that and we were pretty much done with it and he just talks all this nonsense about being better than us in general just because he was on his 32 and like I said we were just trying to be nice and invited him so he could collect the rewards.
-
Yea, that's a dick.
-
I would have kicked him faster than you can say, "Atheon".
-
I would have waited till you were right about to complete the check point then kicked him before he got his reward lawl
-
I agree and have seen those types of players
