So I really need to know if this community is starting to become a bunch of elitist shitholes, or I am talking to the wrong people. As a raid virgin, ABSOLUTELY no one wants to deal with trying to run a raid with me (even though I've seen them both done many times and will do whatever you tell me to, even if it's to jump off a ledge), and teach me the ropes. So my questions to you are ,
1) would you work with a raid virgin/noob/any other fancy names you have for them?
2) if not, why the hell not?
3) how hard can it be to tell someone to do something, especially if they've seen it before?
Comment below and help me understand the what the problem is.
Edit1: I really appreciate all the support guys, it's refreshing to know that the community hasn't devolved and there are lots of great people around.
I should have mentioned that I am on 360 (I know I wish I could upgrade), but either way I really appreciate everyone who wants to help. If you want to send a friend request my way then feel free, and again I thank you all for the support.
Edit2: I'm amazed at how many good people are out there, and even if we are on different consoles I really appreciate that you took the time to say something. Maybe someone else will notice and you can help them!
I've sent some friend requests to all those on the 360, but if I missed you then feel free to send me one. Thanks to all!
Edit3: NO LONGER A (raid) VIRGIN!!! Thanks to help from you guys on the forum I was able to find a really good group of people and ran both VoG and CE! I appreciate all the help guys!
Edit4: If you are a raid noob and need some help, post your level, class, and console! Maybe some one will help you through like they helped me! If you want to help out, post your info and someone can find you! Good luck guardians, and thanks for keeping Destiny great!

Me and the other leader from the clan carried two guys who had never done crota through the whole raid and they only died at bridge for cheese and the thrallway
-
My clan and I try to help anyone wanting to learn. We're on the 360 just send me a message and we'll get you through.
-
I am also on 360. If you need any help just add me. Gt same as here
-
I personally have 0 problem teaching people how to run raids on normal. It Makes me feel good to teach and pass on my joy and love of raids
-
Don't care how many completions you have. Good is good. Played with 29s who are way better than 32s. If you're good, you're in
-
A lot of people who won't take new people through raids don't seem to understand that they were once new at it too. They didn't start up the game already maxed level and with all the knowledge in the world to beat the raids easily. They started out fresh and new. They had to learn the ropes as well. So the people who wanna be jerks about it need to get slapped in the head.

Edited by Famdian: 4/26/2015 11:29:28 PMI have a blast helping people and watching the funny things new raiders do. Most people are impatient some just dont have alot of time and want to get things done. Updating im on ps4 famdian if you need help add me
-
I love helping out newbies and showing them the ropes. We all have to start somewhere, and even the veterans make mistakes here and there. I think that's what makes this community so great. Sure, there are the younger trolls who think they're better than everyone else and oblivious to the fact that they were new themselves at one point, but as a whole, this community is really good at helping each other out. If anyone ever needs help on a raid and is on ps4 add me.
-
Just helped a first timer through Crota for the first time, He did great! As long as you're willing to listen and give it your best shot my mates and I are willing to bring anyone in for their first time! I don't get why some higher level players are such assholes about it! So go ahead and add me if you're on Ps4 and we'll wreck some shit!
-
Join a clan man I was having the same issue but I joined my clan HouseOfWolvesX1 and now I raid every week and I'm getting better at it and I'm making new friends our clan has a 360 branch and a ps4 branch you should check them out
-
Always up to help out. Add me if you need a raid partner. ODST Deth 777
-
Send me one, I'll teach you
-
I would.. Xbox One.. CCG Chance
-
I would. I have pretty much every piece of gear so the only excitement I get is watching other people get excited about their gear.
-
Definitely would help love taking new people thru the raids.
-
As long as you let the group know that up front you'll eventually find a group that will help. Some people forget we were all noobs at one point and someone had to teach us the ropes. You're willing to learn and listen to an experienced player that's a great attitude. Good luck raids are the best part of the game!
-
Just go to the recruitment section and ask for people to help you. You will get some jerks that think they are too good to help a raid noob but you will find a group that will help you.
-
I run the raid with anyone. All I ask for is if you don't know what your doing, listen to those that do. Pay no mind to the forums, if you do you'll grow to hate everyone and everything on here. Whenever you meet a "I'm better then everyone" person, know that they probably suck at life and this is their world.
-
I just started a clan with this in mind. As long as your play time is pst we are willing to help. I trying to put raid groups together and also teaching new people how to raid. Look up west coast regime.
-
Got no problem helping so long as you can at least stay alive.
-
On ps4 and I'm down to help a squishy out
-
I'm on one, and I have both raid arms and legs, I have run through Crota in 20 mins tops before, and I still have no idea what I'm supposed to do :P
-
Do what I did. Find a raid team on LFG or forums, don't tell them you haven't done it before. Just follow everyone's lead and listen to them. Plain and simple for a first raid :D
-
A guy in my clan is always guiding noobs through the raids. By extension a lot of us end up helping. Once you have three 32's and all the raid weapons, armor, and exotics you want there is not much left except being a Noob Sherpa until HOW drops.
-
I would love to help you I think it's fun to help people out if you upgrade soon add me I'm on xbone
-
If you want I can help you.
