I’m all for a good time when it comes to the amount of small rivalries between close friends or close gaming buddies, however, when it turns into harassment or the belittling of a fellow player, it just always ends up being a line that should never be crossed.
There is a large group of players that return to the game of Destiny 2 just to relax and release some tension of their own day to day living situation, and sometimes, it’s not even just about releasing tension. It could just be having a good time in the long run or even short run, a somewhat “Mini getaway.”
For myself lately, I’ve been more and more harassed by players considering themselves to be either “Superior” or “Experienced” which has resulted me to shy away from this series that I am passionate about based off the increasing amount of harassment and although this is post is being sparked from my own recent personal experiences, it still does not make it okay by all means.
Just for a moment to anyone looking into this post, just think about your fellow player. People are losing family and friends to disease, violence, and much more. For a moment consider the person in a strike who isn’t moving as fast through the strike as you, or the person playing Gambit on your team that maybe dropped a bit more motes than other players, and of course, someone on your team in the Crucible who keeps peaking the same lane over and over. It’s okay to be understanding. It’s even just as okay to be accepting too.
Thanks for reading this post. I appreciate your time and I’m sure someone else will too.

I found, a couple years ago, that you can avoid most of the unpleasantness by avoiding PvP.....I just dont do it any longer. Although I must admit I wasnt harassed ....just the normal kids being kids. Since I came back over a year ago, I dont talk to anyone, not even clan mates so...fireteams just do the strike and leave.....pretty vanilla for me......having said that, it depends on why a person is here, I'm not looking for ANY social connection, I just want to shoot -blam!-... Like to add, I go out of my way to protect my fireteam, rez anyone fast as i can and just avoid the Titans that think shoulder slamming a team member off a cliff is funny.....my theory is, you get back what you give....
