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.

Cheers to you buddy. Well done!

Well done, man. I wish more guardians were like you, to help a stranger and I hope now, friend overcome such an obstacle. Hopefully, this inspires others to lend their strength to others and be more patient. Be an example. To quote Ikorra "this is why we were reborn in the light"

Good job man. Stuff like this is what really makes the D1/2 community great.

1 RispondiModificato da Jay: 8/9/2018 7:51:08 AMReading posts like this is truly amazing, I'm so amazed by the kindness you and the rest of the group have. I wish there was more people like you and your group who are willing to help other no matter how tough the situation is. Doing raids is difficult for me as I can't talk and need to rely on emotes and skype messages between my friends so I understand just how much effort you guys went through. Thank you for being so kind and helpful to people with disabilities. I could write so much more but for now I'll keep it short :)

Modificato da zNapSack: 8/9/2018 6:58:51 AMI sincerely applaud you for what you did. You surely made him very happy. The thought made me smile. And yes, it is [u]very[/u] rewarding to help those who may not otherwise be able to accomplish something. Personalty, I often help disabled vets for example since we remain brothers, although we may not have met before. And I like to think there are Guardians out there who feel the same way about other Guardians. I for one enjoy helping others through activities they have not yet accomplished (even if I end up alone with six squeaker n00bs, at Aksis, on HM. I should've been made a Saint for that. ;))

Sounds like you ran into one of our special agents ;) Good on you guys for helping him out. Very cool.

Fight forever Guardians! Never give up, and never let defeat overcome you!

1 RispondiI don't think the community is as bad as people think, aye there's plenty of jerks about, just think people generally make noise about bad experiences and don't tend to publish good one's Fair play to you and your fireteam 😎

1 RispondiGood lad

That's awesome man, doing the raid in normal circumstances can be difficult enough, way to push through till the end and help a fellow guardian!
-
Man that's cool. Awesome job bro, and genuinely happy for dude!

1 RispondiI had a similar experience helping one of my clanmates get his first raid clear as he is deaf/mute. The happiness it brought him is what my clan is all about (IMO).
-
Thanks for sharing the forums need more positive stories and help between guardians that class divisions, PVE vs PVP divisions. and people crying for nerfs. Good on you.
