The POE is doing some weird things to destiny, heres my thoughts. Prior to POE we had the raids, the Crota one in general was sooo easy it was ridiculous and you only needed two people max to complete it. This meant that the rest of the team just got to sit up on that ledge, shoot rockets when told and then get loot. Everyone got used to being carried to their 32 and this resulted in a serious lack of skill in most 32s. How many times have you seen the post "Need one for Crota, must be Swordbearer"? Are you telling me that out of the five people in your party no one knows how to run the sword? Im not helping these people anymore, if you cant run the sword then you dont deserve Crotas loot. And this applies even more to POE because its too hard to carry people through the higher level POEs, and a mission that takes 20 mins with people of your skill level then takes 2 hours with one of the lazy aforementioned guardians. Even with guys in my clan, guys that I helped carry to 32, I just cannot be bothered making my life so much harder just to get these guys some loot (have done plenty of this already and have had enough). I now find myself not wanting to play with alot of people that I used to raid with because I feel that they are dead weight. Sound harsh? it is, and I feel bad but its hard to fly like an Eagle when you are surrounded by Turkeys.
It wouldnt be so bad if after they were carried to 32 they got to work and had all the necessary burns for the POE but they dont, because they are lazy and want this stuff handed to them because this is what they are used to. Most of them are just waiting for me to carry them so they can get their next Etheric light. No one carried me to 34, we two manned the 32 the first night and then found a random to do the 34 with us because no one else was at 33 yet. If I dont carry these guys they just wont do it and Im sick of it.
Does anybody else feel this way?

I have effectively 2 manned all of corta hard so what if someone wants carried who cares. Now on the other hand 34&35 PoE is not the same. You can't carry someone (maybe certain weeks on the 34) but in general you can't carry. I do agree across the bored there are a lot of low skill players but that is true in every major MMO ever made. Cod WoW Everquest the list goes on and on. You will never see a game where everyone is skilled or even on where the majority is skilled. If by some off chance you do I beat you don't play the game long because it will be boring as shit.
