Like many Destiny players, I dabble in PvP and PvE. For me the draw to PvP is simple: AI are not nearly as challenging as a human opponent. But I wonder how many people are bothered by how frustrated and toxic PvP can be. I cannot believe some of the things that come out of my mouth when playing crucible. It really brings out the worst in me. After a frustrating session my toxicity lingers into my private life. I am short with people and feel on edge. Call it thin skin or a temper problem, but getting the toxic messages I receive and send make me want to rip someone’s throat out. I question why the developer has created a handful of emotes that seem to have been created expressly for this purpose. I know there are well-adjusted people out there that don’t get bothered by this, but I also know a lot of us aren’t so gifted. Now I am an older guy with a family and am relatively secure economically and emotionally. But I worry about younger and more fragile members of our community. Now before 1,000 19 year old masculinity signalers down vote this into oblivion because they don’t know the difference between being a man and being a heartless jerk, take a moment to think about what I have said. I am not saying this isn’t my problem, but I am wondering how widespread it is. Edit: TLDR I have some anger and frustration issues that PVP seems to build upon. I’ve tried to make clear that it’s a me issue and not a bungie issue.
