Prox chat griefing, WTF bungie.

The only thing I can find as to why prox chat/in-game voice is not in destiny is because of little kids and trolls griefing other players. Now I don't know about you but almost all of my online friends I met through random encouters, be it Xbox live or PSN or B.net. If every game had bungie's attitude toward socializing with people you DON'T know the online gaming community would be dead. If you don't like meeting new people and only want to play with those you do know maybe it's time you jump in your delorian, hit 88mph and have a lan party back in 90's EDIT: I think most of the nay sayers are missing my point. We all play online games Ps3, ps4, xbox 360, xbone, doesn't matter we all have a friends list, full of friends, made up of mostly people we met online in whatever game it is you play. If the various different games youve played over the years did what bungie is doing just how many people on your list would be gone? Never met because why? Well it's because all people who talk are annoying so voice chat should be removed. REALLY? ARE YOU PEOPLE KIDDING? I just don't buy it, I don't believe that none of you understand this. EDIT 2: /Game chat, if as one guy said they are bubbles, then turn the tower into a game chat bubble, only 16 players on your screen at any given time with an off option so its manageable, too many jackasses, orbit, back, new 16. Don't get me wrong im not just arguing prox chat, a open text based system in the tower would suffice, so long as there is some form of communication outside your fire team. As it stands without the ability to speak to "that cool lookin titan over there" this game is no more social then CoD or halo, infact it is less so since you can only communicate in game with those in your fireteam. EDIT 2.5: IMO Most griefers are CoD players, thats why I don't play CoD anymore (that and the game play went down hill really fast after CoD 4) I now seldom hear idiots screaming at other idiots, without the ability to 360 no scope in an mlg pro 1v1 lobby, those players will be gone soon enough.

  • Well I can tell you that out of all the people on my friends list only two of them are not people that I know in the real world. Of those two, one I have been gaming with for over four years and the other about a year. It's been my experience that while playing online and meeting new people I've added and remove a lot of them from my friends list mostly because after a while people become assholes. Now, I'll be the first to admit it could be me, because I am not a child. I am an older game and I do not find things like greifing, hacking, cheating and mods to be fun or even remotely funny. Ruining other peoples fun as a form of entertainment for yourself or your asshole friends to watch in the background and laugh is just shity. Myself and people I play with also don't live and die by our K/D either. Getting a kill on someone and then telling them how we're going to sleep with their mother or calling them some childish name is not the type of players we are nor is it the type of players we like associate with. Have I ever talked shit online, sure we all have. However there is something just wrong with the world when a nine year old child tells me he/she is going "-blam!- my mom in the ass". Sure you can meet some good people online, I'm not saying it impossible. I for one totally get why Bungie did what they did. Spend 30 seconds reading the forums and you will see people can be really immature when they have the safety of a keyboard or a headset. I do think however proxy chat should have been in the game as an option but by default set to off. If you want it then you can go and turn it on.
