Was this kid American? The American kids seem to be obsessed with elitism and "knowing it all" compared to kids from other countries such as the UK, Ireland, Australia etc. I had the same problem with a kid involving a personal friend of mine I was carrying his then level 30 Warlock through Hard Crota. I am a skilled swordbearer on my Hunter and the plan was that my friend would die before we left the crystal room at Crota CP so he wouldn't have to endure running to the ogre room and things going tits up. Even without him killing himself, he is a pretty competent player and is one of those guys you want on your Fireteam for a Raid. Can't wait to run the Prison of Elders with him! We might not need that third person! Fireteam consisted of four level 32s consisting of two titans, a Warlock, Hunter (me) and my level 30 friend (another Warlock). The others were okay with my friend tagging along as I was running sword and an experienced swordbearer is a guaranteed completion. Four of us happened to have Gjallarhorn the other Hunger of Crota (luck of the draw when searching for players), so there was going to be no problems taking Crota down with even with 3 players on middle platform. We get to the Bridge CP unscathed. By unanimous decision we decided to cheese the Bridge because, 1) we were a 5 player fireteam 2) one of us was severely underleveled and 3) another did not know how to do it legit. One titan had Helm of Saint 14 so my level 30 friend was paired with him. I held the middle of my own (Invisibility super, Don't Touch Me etc.). Bridge constructs, Swordbearer is killed without fail, I run to retrieve sword whilst another player justs hold the bridge for the split second so I can cross the bridge. I cross the bridge, hide and everyone wipes except a Titan who knows how to reach the top of the Tower. Just as the Titan reaches the top of the Tower, somebody joins and glitches out the whole encounter as the enemies did not despawn even when the Titan at the top of the Tower kills himself. We had to force a wipe. Kid joins chat and with in his squeaky voice the first thing he says "Why is there a level 30 in here?". My reply "because I said so". We spawn in and lag starts to creep in which is often associated with wiping and fireteam members with bad connection. It was that bad we had to go to orbit and switch leader. I switch leader to anyone but the squeaker. We spawn in again and we forced a wipe again because some how the Gatekeeper managed to kill me when I was hiding behind the pillar. Spawn in more lag associated with wiping reoccurs. FT leader promotes a new player in the Raid and the vicious cycle of lagging continues. The new guy eventually promotes the squeaker. Don't ask me why lol. The squeaker boots my level 30 friend because "he was holding us back" and goes on to invite one of his friends. I leave and they are swordbearerless. One minute later he is begging me to join back because he must have found out that I was the swordbearer. I rejoin the party. Kid: "Hey, you can run sword right?" Me: "Yes I can" Kid: "Sweet" Me: "I just came onto say that I will not be swordbearing for you as you kicked my friend for one of your own, I don't leave one of my own behind so... BYYYEEEE!!! Then I commence to hear a shit storm of swearing towards that kid from the FT members.
