I deleted my level 40 warlock so my son could play.
My son, who has no Xbox account of his own, has watched me play destiny wide eyed since the Beta, recently expressed his desire to create his own character and try.
Sure, I could've created an account for him, or done a thousand different things. But I'd rather see his happy expression when he plays his new Exo, than have a warlock I hardly ever play.
Am I stupid? Probably.
Am I a sentamentalist? Probably.
Was it worth it? Definitely.
Why'd I share this?
Destiny is a lot of different things for a lot of different people. But for one moment, it was something that made my son and I smile.
And that's what it's really all about.
NOTE: I know not everyone will understand or agree, or there will be those that can point out the hundred different ways I could have done this. If you're going to insult, be rude, etc. all you're going to get is blocked. So please, if you don't like this one, just move on.
And....done.
To all of you with kind words, suggestions or those that appreciate the fact I was trying to share some good with others, I thank you. You are the reason why I continue to play Destiny.
And to all of you that chimed in with insults, various slurs and derogatory comments about me seeking attention, I thank you as well. Because you've reminded me of the ignorance, hate and malice that consumes those trolling the forums, and I also remember know why I don't approach others in good faith for adventuring, raiding or anything for that matter, in the world of Destiny.

Well done.

Love it man! Hope he enjoys the game as much as it appears you have playing since beta!
-
And here we see the rare "responsible and respectable adult." Nice job man!
-
Don't worry about the people who are trolling I have a son and he watches me play also almost wants to play. I let him play on my hunter every once in a while. Your doing something really nice.
-
I would have just giving him his own account so he could have 3 instead of just 1.

Honestly, that's what I call a cool story bro. Such a riveting tale, I honestly copy and pasted it to word, saved on my hard drive, backed it up on a jump drive, drove to the bank, put the jump drive in the safe deposit box, and will leave it there until my kids turn about 12 (when they can actually state their age, and ask what it is I'm showing them), when I will pick it up, put it in an old USB drive reader and relay this cool story to them and tell them, "kids, this is what a cool story should look and sound like...not like the stories your generation tells."

As a father of 4 myself, I see nothing but love here. I did the same for my boys and my daughter at first, then after seeing that they could be responsible online, I created accounts for all of them. Of course I now have 4 email accounts that blow up my phone all the time, lol, but it's all worth it to see them having fun and enjoying themselves. Props man
-
You have 3 hunters? [spoiler]-blam!-ing moron[/spoiler]
-
You should have made him play a titan.
-
now they'd better add some diddly-dang-darn splitscreen so you guys can play together :D
-
How old is he?
-
Good man
-
cool, have fun! :)
-
That's great to hear! I'm sure your son is very happy.

2 RepliesI said hell with it and ponied up for another ps4 now we can play together. He's 11 and we do trials bounties nightfalls and other minor stuff. I'd like to take him raiding but so many fear squeakers I haven't had luck finding a group a few times we looked.
-
2 RepliesWTF how could you love your son more than a warlock. Kill yourself. Sarcasm. Obviously. Glad you're both having fun.
-
