I know the type that LV80 is, I’ve been reading his posts on D1 - D2 since the beginning of the Destiny franchise.
He did buy and play D1.
He did not buy D2, due to the fact that he saw how much of a train wreck it was going to turn out to be (if you had been reading his posts back during the tail end of D1 (pre D2), you would know that).
So he opted not to buy D2, but to set and watch the carnage begin.
I believe that he speaks out constantly, not under the descriptive “trolling” everyone labels him, but more as to make people see that they (Bungie) lied, deceived, schemed, and stole from the gaming community. LV80 spam-posts to make a statement to all, that repeated, ongoing tactics like these are not right, and if not stood up against, only make for a much worse future when it comes to big businesses taking advantage of and doing wrong to the customers.
No, I do not always agree with some of his postings, but I give him the floor to voice his opinions, issues and concerns. It also helps that he will post sites to back up his topics, rather than just post words.

Edited by Oddish43: 2/14/2018 7:10:57 PMDon't delude yourself into thinking that he's doing this for any greater good, either. If you examine his posts, they tend to either state generalized feelings about the game, or they gloat about real or imagined decreases in the game's player base. There are no suggestions on how to improve the game experience, and he is powerless to make them because he hasn't played the game. His posts are exclusively destructive in nature. As a former site moderator, I had to deal with a person like him once: this individual was careful to stay within the rules, but everything he did was intended to make those around him as miserable as possible. I don't know if Lethal's motivations are that simple, but I know this: he brings nothing good to this community. He's almost certainly doing this because of the approval it gets him: he has all the altruistic motivation of a four-year-old deliberately misbehaving just to get attention. The deeper problem, of course, lies in the events of the last year or so, starting with the 2-14-17 patch that laid the groundwork for the changes in Destiny 2, changes that the player base did not like. We have a whole site full of players who spent years eating and breathing Destiny, and they're angry and frustrated because its sequel fell so short of their expectations. Whatever anti-D2 garbage Lethal posts, they'll eat it up like ice cream. That is what this site has deteriorated into. Posts with ideas to improve the game experience are downvoted or relegated to oblivion. Posts full of non-productive hate trend insanely, and a manipulator like Lethal can flourish in that environment, despite not even having played the game. You can respect his right to freedom of speech, you can acknowledge that at least he respects people's right to disagree with him... but at the end of the day, he's still just trolling.
