To all fellow guardians,
Please watch out for PSN: kermitTHEfrog
I have a friend on ps4 who has a couple of higher level characters and has been playing since the game came out. He was nice enough to show me a lot of what I now, know how to do in the game as a result. His gf also plays destiny. She has slaved for months since day zero doing the daily grind, day in and day out farmed all the materials to get her warlock to level 30. I haven't even gotten to 30 and I've been playing for months. She also did it the real way not by buying the materials using marks but by farming them spending HOURS...
She was at the tower a few days ago when a fellow level 30 (kermitTHEfrog) sent her a message complimenting her raid gear and mentioned how he had never used the Gjallahorn before. He asked if she wanted to raid with him and his group. After joining the party, he was very sincere and nice complimenting her warlock. She had a lot of my buddy's exotics on her character as well. He asked her is she would be nice enough to SHAREPLAY... She said of course thinking everything would be fine and they would raid together after...
Boy was she wrong....
The most horrifying thing that could ever happen to any fellow guardian was about to happen....
This mother -blam!-er kermitTHEfrog DELETED my friends gf's LEVEL 30 warlock in front of her eyes and she could do nothing about it.
In the time it took for him to log in to shareplay, and go straight to deleting the character she couldn't react fast enough.
I am writing this because last night I had a nightmare after hearing this story that my guardian was erased from existence. Laugh if you want but imagine spending all that time on something and it being ripped away from you without warning because you did something out of the goodness in your heart.
-blam!- you, mother -blam!-ing kermitTHEfrog
It's mother -blam!-ers like you who make people not want to SHAREPLAY w strangers
Bungie please help out my friend's gf get her stuff back and ban kermitTHEfrog
My gamer tag is PSN: Xx4LeafMafia20xX for his privacy please contact me if you need details on this tragedy. My friend has share play history and can show you, that the story I am telling you is true...
Thanks for reading...
Tread carefully but carry a big stick...

Moral of the story: don't gameshare with strangers. I believe it's against Sony's CoC, too. That really sucks for your friend, though :-(
-
She gave a stranger control of her account? Why would any sane person do it?
-
BEGINNING TRANSMISSION: (Low melodious hum.) Never give information to anyone. Only a few things they have access to... . Location . Identity . Payment Information . Etc. ENDING TRANSMISSION:
-
I assume that "shareplay" means giving someone else access to your account, which goes against the first rule one learns about online gaming. After all, would you hand a complete stranger your wallet and the keys to your house?
-
It's a PSN account? Lol I think I played with somebody on Xbox One earlier with the same GT before my game decided to be dumb.
-
Tl;dr strangers are douches. Don't trust them.
-
Tragedy? Lol.. It's just pixels on a screen.. Real people dying is a tragedy! Get real.
-
And this is why I am glad xbox doesn't have shareplay
-
Thanks Sony!
-
After I saw the video I blocked Kirmit on PSN he wasn't even on my friends list and I can guarantee he NEVER will be I'd be surprised if he had any friends left.
-
I don't even know what share okay is but I wouldn't do it with anyone
-
Whats shareplay?
-
What is "SharePlay"?
-
What rule did Kermit break just asking since people want to ban him
-
Well that honestly sucks. I come to destiny from other MMORPGs, where scamming is a big thing. Trust me, I've warned so many people about sharing accounts or not double checkin gold/items that they were to recieve by a trade. Example: 200'000 gold instead of 2'000'000, Low tier item that looks the same as the wanted item but is worth 100g instead of 1'000'000g. And most of them have been scammed anyways despise the warnings. At least you learned something, take it positive
-
It's the dude's fault for Share Playing with KermitTheFrog in the first place...
-
Bump funny but weve all had this happen
-
Lmao well deserved too. People gotta be smarter than that and if they are not then they that should happen.
-
-
Lol why would you have to shareplay with someone who already has the game? LmAo my gracious people someone being abnormally nice should be warning enough.
-
When I first saw beware of kermitTHEfrog I almost lost it thinking about a small green frog playing Destiny but after reading this it just makes me sick. Hundreds of hours of work just deleted...if that happened to me I would probably quit the game rather than trying to get all of my gear back. I hope someone is able to hack into this guy's account and deletes all of his characters.
-
If you ever need help with the story or anything I'd be willing to help, I feel your pain , I only just got the vex and I'd be destroyed if someone were to delete it.
-
You had a nightmare about losing a character from a video game? Grow up and stop taking it so seriously. This is coming from someone with almost 700 hours in Destiny. It's not real life.

L O -blam!-ING L!!!!!!

Lord help this poor soul, he is a maple leafs fan, he has endured enough pain and agony in the last few months, lol.
