You know how sometimes you find a group that just breezes through a Hardmode Crota run? Yeah, that's not how it was this time. I had managed to scrounge a group together from LFG and the forums, and we were struggling to say the least. The Abyss took us an hour alone. I could tell some of the people were new to hard raiding, but I had time to kill and I didn't mind helping them out. Besides me, there were only a couple of other guys consistently staying alive.
Three hours from the time we dropped into the Hellmouth, we gathered around the crystal to summon Crota. It was a miracle that no one had quit at this point- usually people book it out long before then. I knew we were in for a long Crota fight though.
It took about seven runs for us to even make it past the first sword, but we were getting better. Our sword runner was skilled and patient, and there was a helpful Warlock who was a boss at sniping the Swordbearer. I knew we were going to finish it sooner or later.
Five hours into the raid, it all began to come together. The first and second sword went flawlessly, and we had decimated the Ogres. We were huddled in the crystal room, waiting for the Crotation. It was the farthest we had gotten and I was confident we could finish. Crota moved back center and we sprinted outside.
The Swordbearer took a tad longer to take down... I looked around. Where was that Warlock? Maybe he just missed his snipes this time. Our Hunter dropped down and picked up the sword, the LAST SWORD NEEDED TO WIN. Then my headphones explode in hysterical maniac laughter. My heart sunk. I looked up to see the Warlock gliding straight into Crota's face. "TROLOLOLOLOLOL!!!" he yelled as he got punksmashed by the Son of Oryx. Immediately afterwards, a message popped on my screen: *A person has left your fireteam*. Just like that, he was gone. The Oversoul got destroyed, but it was in vain. The timing was off now and we all got killed as Crota moved left.
Silence. That's all I heard from my team. No one could believe what had happened.
To that troll out there, I ain't even mad. You stuck with us for FIVE HOURS so you could wreck us in the end. I don't know who has that kind of time to waste, but I salute you. None of us saw it coming- especially considering you were one of the best on our team. I'll never forget that terrible, dumbfounding, infuriating, hilarious moment in all my days. I know for a fact he didn't do this because he had to go, either. I checked his Gamercard after we finished, and what was he doing? Crota's End in a party of 6.
His Xbox One Gamertag is 'Kjballer1'. If you are a troll yourself, add him and have a nice cup of tea or something. Be sure to say hi for me ;)
Edit: Apparently Kjballer1 found this post and is trying to deny certain things... My only response to this is: trolls will be trolls. Over and out.

4 RepliesEdited by Neox Fox: 2/20/2015 7:17:01 PMMy very first time running through VOG was on a hard raid. Fortunately the party knew what they were doing and walked me through it. At the first *loot drop I got FateBringer and everyone was making a big deal about it, unsure what it was and who/what they were talking about I proceeded to look at my loot and came back to say uhg, another shitty handcannon... (Lol) the team exploded and explained my luck and what makes it so good. Throughout the rest of the raid I made sure to mention "It choose me, fate must have brought us together. And it was my destiny." This made them very salty because non of the fire team had FateBringer at the time.

1 ReplyI seem to always get the people who kick right as the boss dies and as a result people won't let me raid with them to often because they think I'm a Christmas noob.

1 ReplyHe played the long con... But it wasn't even for money. It's simultaneously funny and baffling. If he simply had to leave, he would've known the outcome in a matter of seconds at that point. Sorry, hope I'm laughing with you on this one and not at you. ;-)

1 ReplyNow there's a troll that takes his job seriously!

11 RepliesI think the biggest troll was Bungie making us think Crotas End would be fun

1 ReplyThat is some impressive trolling right there. Should win an award at the Player Haters Ball. Hate hate hate hate hate.

1 ReplyWow just wow ... I have been on teams that took forever to come together but this epic level of trolling after a 5 hr run is just dumbfounding ...
-
1 ReplyTrolls have way too much time on their hands. Only one I encountered was during the Crota cheese period where some guy would join cheese groups and purposefully take down Crota too early

1 ReplyThat must have been infuriating and I'm sorry that happened to you, but I just laughed so hard holy crap that's hilarious

4 RepliesJoined a group of randoms for a Crota fresh run. Everything was going smoothly, did the abyss, beat the bridge. Then we got to the chest run... We started it up, but when we saw we werent going to make it first try we all said wipe. One by one we all ran back and starting killing our selves. The "one" guy without a mic kills himself last, and at the countdown screen - resurects and runs though the hall and jumps down into the hole, giving us all the Deathsingers checkpoint. Then proceeds to leave.. The rest of us just sat in silence for a min, trying to figure out wtf just happened. Found out later that he was friends with someone on our team that had booted him during a nightfall..

1 ReplyWell the biggest troll is Crota himself... This guy was about to die and suddenly he decided to follow us in the right room below the Boomers... Guardian massacre followed soon after...

I'm gonna do this when I get home

1 ReplyHahahahaha holy hell. It's so beautifully twisted and evil.

1 ReplyYou had me at a Crotation...

1 ReplyHaha this is great.. You have a great story telling ability. I could actually picture this happening with how you told it.. Gave me a good laugh. And for that, sir, I salute you!

That trolling was so meticulously beautiful that I actually shed a tear
