Due Diligence is needed from people.

I see so many people complaining that their super is gone and not working not realizing that their artifact is doing it and working as intended. This is a simple problem of people not paying attention and reading what they are actually doing/using. The same logic exists for most (not all) of the people with networking problems as well as other problems. They don't read what is already there. The don't look at troubleshooting guides or ignore parts of them b/c (here's looking at you not using WiFi) it inconveniences them and they don't like it. They say "It should just work". Well sorry, but some times it takes a little effort on your part for things to work. Destiny requires more from a network setup than a lot of other games do. It is more complex, more ports are used/needed than a lot of other games, and it takes a little bit on your end to get it working efficiently. I have had 2 RL friends that complained they couldn't play and Bungie needed to fix their crap. I asked them if they were setup right, they said yes of course. When I was finally over each of their places I looked at their setup. Big surprise, both where setup for failure. I switch their settings around and they haven't had a problem sense. This same scene plays out on the forums daily. People claim they've done EVERYTHING under the sun yet after going back and forth 10-20 times they say they are on Wifi or they actually haven't' done XYZ to fix it. Time to step up to the plate and do your due diligence people. End rant. [spoiler]Moderator edit: This thread has been moved to the #Destiny forum.

    I've generally given up on trying to save people from themselves. It's usually a case of 'I wanted it to be one way, and because it isn't, someone or something else has to take some blame'. People don't want to be helped or informed or assisted as a general rule, they want to be given something with a minimum of involvement, so as soon as you leave the room, they can tell someone about what 'they' did. I tried the white knight routine for a while; people aren't looking for advice, they just want to bitch and have someone validate their opinions. It's also the fastest ticket to the friend zone there is, in the relationship sense. Instead, I have to assume a lot of people are dumb. It's the only other answer. Post a decent post on the forums that's more than one line and contains punctuation; sit back and wait for people to complain they have to read it. That's where we are, people are too lazy to take 60 seconds to read something. Meanwhile, I'm on page 1250+ of reading for the week, for fun. When someone says 'I need help with...', it really means 'This is what I want you to do for me while expecting no thanks'. Here's the conclusion: if you're too lazy, ignorant, or oblivious to read information on something, suffer. You bought it with cash, don't complain when the results show up on your doorstep. You can't take advice, even when it's distasteful? Fine. Leave. At least I won't waste my time saying things to you that you're not even listening to. The real kicker is when someone wants your advice. So you sit down and talk to them for an hour, understand the situation, think it through, and provide good, sound advice that solves the problem with the minimum of pain. They say thanks and then proceed to go out the door, running screaming and flailing their arms in the exact opposite direction of the thing they just agreed was the best course of action. And then have the audacity to complain about how badly it turned out for them the next day. Did I give you a solution? yeah... Did you agree that it was the best idea you'd been presented with? ...yeah... Did you actually do it? ...no? Then why in the French fried -blam!- should I care that it's a complete shit show? Save the advice and help for really good friends and family, because it's a waste of your time otherwise. Sadly.

      • People are just too lazy to read, it's sad that I've accepted this fact. The worst part is that it's not exclusive to destiny or even video games, there are idiots irl who refuse to read.

        • bottom line, these people to lazy to wire the system, set up the network properly are causing issues for themselves and other games who have taken the time to set up the system right.. These said people need to be banned from pvp until they figure it out..

          • Just gonna point out that my internet battle has raged on for years, no better options where I live. Altho it was mandated apparently for bell and Rogers to provide options for people in areas like mine so we aren't getting as shafted for Internet. Well they still haven't come out here and I'm stuck with a company called mds wireless. Kill yourself rather then ever sign on with them, shittiest excuse for a company this planet has to offer. But the high issue with them is they bill me for an internet speed which is 2 down 2 up..... Yeah garbage I know but if it had those speeds all the time playing destiny wouldn't be an issue. So the upload is always shit, like they upgraded the tower and for 13 days the upload sat at 1 Mbps.... Took 2 years for them to do that, so 13 days passes and shit returns to normal. I call them asking wtf you had piss poor speeds and shit was going down everyday for 2 weeks which was you guys upgrading the tower apparently. Then this. No unfortunately it isn't always the players part of being too lazy to do shit right. But if anyone has a suggestion for something I could do here that would be great. Keep in mind I'm 20 and all my money literally goes to school right now

              • I mean, I mostly agree, but I shouldn't even know what port forwarding is. I buy a game, have good wi-fi, it should work. After 2 years of Destiny, I could probably moonlight as an IT

                • I lost so much faith in humanity today when I saw multiple posts about people not being able to charge their supers only to find out which artifact they had equipped. Not only have these artifacts been talked about for months, but who the hell equips something in a game where every single piece of gear has perks without reading the text that is directly in front of your face as you purchase the item? I'm generally a pretty patient person, but when it comes to stupidity and laziness, I have absolutely no patience. Working in trades since high school has also greatly contributed to that lol.

                  • I've run wired for a long time now, well before Destiny. I experience some lag but nothing game breaking like I hear a lot of people experiencing.

                  • Although I agree, Destiny is not the issue, the current ignorance that is pervasive throughout most 1st world countries is astounding and terrifying.

                    • Do people actually complain about that artifact not letting their super work? I used that artifact all through the crucible portion of the Thorn bounty.
