I read a great deal about people sending and receiving hate mail from people in the Crucible. With the silence between opposing players in the game, it is easy to get angry and rage about the other team. While playing Crucible all day yesterday, I decided to take a different approach.
My K/D doesn't show it yet(I am still rebuilding from how HORRIBLE I was when I first started playing) but most games I am first or second on the leaderboard. I started sending friendly messages to the leaders on the opposing team.
If they beat me, something like:
Good game man! I just couldn't beat you.
If I beat them:
Good game man! You made it hard to get the win.
I sent these messages to about 8 people and was pleasantly surprised to receive friendly replies in return from all. My faith in the Destiny community has recovered just slightly.
So, have any of you sent or received any messages like these, or are hate messages the extent of your experiences?
-
I would usually send this for a laugh lol

I don't care enough in regular crucible, but if I have a particuarly good trials match i'll snap recent players and send a gg to one of them.
-
Ill say gg to people who made me struggle for the win
-
I never get hatemail.

Not problems like; how to stop crucibabies from crying because frankly, I don't care. I solve practical problems, like how do I stop that big mean should charging Titan from coming up behind me and tearing me a superfluous new behind. The answer is a gun, and if that don't work... use more gun." Hate mail, it amuses me greatly.

That's good of you man. I only get mail when people say something like... "lol Sunsinger noob?" And then I'm forced to say things like... "My team won... And I was mvp.. So yeah."
