Edit2: I’d rewrite this if I could do it over again. I should have made it more about him and how he inspired us. We didn’t do this out of pity. His perseverance is what’s inspiring, not that we did what we should have done.
Edit:Thanks to everyone giving us praise but the guy we helped is the hero. After getting kicked and mocked for weeks he never gave up! What I and the others did is what many of you would have done. What we all should do.
—————————
Today I ran into a 39 year old man with a head injury when joining a group of 5 strangers from LFG. It was immediately apparent that he had communication and motor impairments. He told us that he was in a car accident and that he routinely gets kicked from fireteams. Most days he doesn't even get to try the activities he signs up for or is ridiculed and made fun of to the point that he leaves.
Today the five of us decided we were gonna do whatever it took to help him get his first raid clear. We had to improvise quite a bit, as his motor skills and communication speed made this very difficult for him.
Gauntlet was a no-go because of the problems he has with jumping and memory so we found a baths checkpoint and used a 5 man clockwise rotation while he killed adds in the middle. Then we got to Calus and helped keep him up in the throne room while killing adds and punching psions. It took us an hour and a half to get through Calus but the sheer joy he expressed when he did was worth every bad experience I have had in this game.
Best of all, he really wanted the robes so when he didn't get them from the drop we knew he had only one chance: that insufferable sweeping bastard at the tower. But sure enough that broomed SOB gave it to him. He literally screamed when he got it. After my road trip, I am gonna help him get the Solstice Missions done. Funny, I think it was even more rewarding for the five of us than it was for him.
Moral of the story, have a heart. Don't mock people with disabilities and do your best to lend them a hand. It was the best decision I have made in awhile.

1 RispondiFor all those who are trashing the op for "bragging"... It is possible that he just wanted to tell a cool story that might just give others some incentive to do the same type of thing. Cast your stones all you want, but I would be more than willing to bet that 100% of y'all have bragged to others (strangers/friends/families) about something y'all have felt good about doing at some point in your life. If you say you haven't, you lie.

Good for you! It's people like you who should be invited to Bungie's shindigs - where they show off their new stuff.

1 RispondiThis post is amazing and why I still have hope in humanity sometimes , and then I looked in the comments and just can't believe the amount of people that sit here and wait for a post to show up and then infect it with hate. Regardless you and everyone involved should be hella proud you changed that guys life and he will remember that for the rest of his life I would post this on the Reddit destiny forums, at least there actual human beings can see this.

👏👏👏👏👏 Truly kind, my respect to you and your team.

This right here is a true guardian

Modificato da shimmy: 8/9/2018 7:48:31 PMAwesome job by you guys to not be douches and kick him and awesome job by that guy to keep at it despite his disabilities. Both those things make me smile. Oh and the idiots who make fun of someone like that are pieces of garbage. If I believed in hell then I'd say there is a special place there for people who are like that.

1 RispondiModificato da Nexus_One: 8/9/2018 7:16:49 PMGreat story!! This is what our community needs more of, and letting us know about these instances will hopefully help to inspire more guardians to help others in need as well. My hat is off to you, sir! That being said, I hope you don't get any kind of special reward as that would only serve to feed the trolls. Good deeds are their own rewards. Keep it up, you did a great thing for someone who needed it.

who the f would mock that guy? only a complete idiot

This has restored my faith in humanity

Well done!
-
So happy you guys did that. Hearing that he gets made fun of to the point of leaving boils my blood. -blam!- those people that kicked him. Shitheads
-
This!!! 🙏🏾

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Good for you. One never knows when their own situation can change..... A verse in the Bible reminds us “there is more happiness in giving than receiving.”
-
You did a really good job man! Its really nice to hear these kinds of stories on these forums.

This story is amazing we need more people like you and your fire team thank you for being the good type of guardian that should be playing this game not the toxicity that usually plagues these forums 👌🙏

1 RispondiThis is the best post I've read in awhile, well done guardian to you and your team, this is a welcome change from the toxicity that usually plagues these forums. I myself have multiple sclerosis, this has given me numb hands; and blurred vision in my right eye. But hey we all have our crosses to bear, I'm in a clan called the Decrepit Delegation that's predominantly made up of people with an illness of some kind. We've completed two raids now, and usually manage to struggle through most things eventually, so thanks again guardian for helping out a fellow less fortunate than yourself.👏
-
Nice post, thank you to you and your fire team. I imagine you made a friend for life. Keep paying it forward.
-
I don’t think I’ve ever posted here.... but this is the best thing I’ve ever read on this forum,. Thank you for sharing such a great experience and major kudos to your entire team for showing character, class and leadership. Awesome experience!
-
This makes me happy.
-
This experience was why I used to play - helping others obtain those exclusive achievements in the game is well worth the effort. It warms my heart to read stories like yours man, keep up the great work - I'm sure that the player you helped today will remember this moment for the rest of his life, hopefully. Kudos to you and your team.
-
Right on man, may the light guide you.

Modificato da Anemoi: 8/9/2018 10:40:11 PMTruly, I find more satisfaction working with people who are people than I do with pricks. Weird aint it? But hats off to you and your fireteam, well done. Proud to be somehow related as a guardian to you :^) ... may we meet in game! Edit: Those whos dont care about people like this man, need to look in the mirror, and then pinpoint the area where your heart is located, and go to the kitchen to grab the sharpest knife you can find, return to the mirror, and plunge it directly at the spot you identified before in a furious twisting motion. Picture of location added as a url above I keed I KEEED ... :v) ... ps: you probably shouldn't do it, and i hope you at least learned that you were wrong your entire middle school (america)

After reading this experience I have hope that the Destiny we knew and loved is making a return to it’s former glory. D1 wasn’t perfect, but people were having enough fun that they could appreciate it, faults and all. These kind of experiences make all the difference. Kudos to you and your team and congrats to your new found guardian friend. 👊🏼😁 May LEGOs never litter your path.
