From my reply to a post similar to this some time ago: You don't know Destiny if... If you don't know what "just Icebreaker Phogoth from the doorway" means If you don't know the significance of someone waving on patrol If you never knew that Sepiks Prime got buffed, Valus "McDF" Ta'aurc was nerfed and the Psion Flayers used to have stronger shields If you never sniped the Nexus strike from the ledge and turned around every 20secs or so to kill the Minotaur. If you don't know what using Icebreaker for hvy means If you've never experienced the long silence that follows the question "who's gonna sword?" It's very similar to the question "who's got gaze?" If you've never had friends skip a run at Skolas with you because of Lightswitch, or just skip it in general cause it was Skolas If you've never checked your friendlist status and seen more than a handful on patrol If you've never been invited on a chest run cause you need mats If you haven't thought about white nail while running Warpriest, Golgoroth, Vosik or Aksis just once If you never finally got the crux and were disappointed a short while later after using it If you haven't help farm Templar for FB If you never saw posts for "Exotic chest CP open for the next hour" If you were never absolutely destroyed by the Vex or Suros If you don't know what "I have to run by the tower and turn in bounties" feels like If you don't know the pain of only being able to hold 5 bounties If you don't recall only having 3 crucible and 3 Vanguard bounties to choose from every day If you never knew reputation circles If you never visited Shaxx for just crucible mark use If you haven't wished for more than 20 spots in your vault for wpns/gear If you don't know what sapphire wire/plasteel plate/hadronic essence is If you don't know the significance of the bones in the skywatch cave If you're unsure what a Hand Cannon telemetry is If you don't know what SGA was best for If you never went on Venus patrol and switched to your void shotgun, RL or other wpn of choice when seeing the text "The Vex are taking control of a sync plate" If you didn't know that Bungie buffed shotguns solely for pve cause they were only useful in crucible If you never wondered what you would need an exotic hvy for and passed on xur that week If you never decrypted a legendary into a rare If you never thought of what an exotic engram would look like if they could drop in an encounter If you never saw a picture of your xmas gift from bungie and contrived the potential for an exotic because of a tear in the wrapping paper If you're unsure of what a commendation would be used for If you never used your etheric light for any purpose other than rep gain If you don't know the real meaning behind "forever 29" If you only know what a flaming head in the game is by a halloween mask someone wore If you don't know the link between Game of Thrones and Destiny If you don't suffer painful auditory memories upon approaching the Temple of Crota If you never had double fusion kill bounty completions to do If you never thought the Speaker emblems were special in some way when they weren't If you never blew up your sparrow cause you just couldn't go fast enough If you never wondered if we would ever get other ghosts If you never enjoyed class items for appearance rather than ability to get you to tier 12 or max light If you never blew yourself up or seen someone else do so while in Kabr's protection If you don't understand the significance behind the 6th or 7th chest so many claimed to find If you've never been in a team that didn't know how to construct the bridge but could flawless raid crota If you never only had 5 actions with your d-pad controls (sitting/standing on same button) If you never heard the first rendition of the wizard from the moon...before vanilla on this one. If you never heard the phrase "don't open that chest or it cancels the exotic" If you didn't farm Queen's bounties for mats...for the 5 mins before they patched it out If you didn't reset all upgrade nodes on your exotics once and re-lvl them for higher light If you've never seen a guardian dancing on their sparrow while wandering on patrol (Edit: it's still possible to do. https://youtu.be/lOHEw5I5FFU ) If you never tried to trick jump across the Hellmouth in your fancy new flame sparrow If you never had to worry about having enough crucible marks or vanguard marks If you never had to choose between a faction or the vanguard for rep gains If you never used Ascendant or Radiant shards for anything other than motes If you don't know what the great hvy synthesis drought felt like and now never let your stock of hvy fall below 50 If you never wondered how random xur's inventory was after selling Sunbreakers for a couple weeks in a row If you never marked the passing (yourself or others) of someone wearing Chatterwhite or Glowhoo...Chatter ftw If you never got into a melee battle with the strongest vandal in the game If you never saved all your bounties for turn in in the belief that it would up your chances for an exotic bounty (this has actually returned thx to Thorn yr3) If you never met Petra with her helmet on...in the tower If you never tried jumping to Eris' ship tethered to the handrail like a dog If you never knew what Tess did before she was kidnapped, replaced by the bodysnatchers and turned entrepreneur If you never deleted an exotic and had it be gone forever If you never saw the purple ball without its inner glow (all hail purple ball) If you never went sparrow racing to the closest loading zone for key farming (my best was 4 chest openings at Skywatch) Edit: If you don't understand the consequences of a team wipe in the NF
