I’ve seen a new low while watching someone Play d2
So was at my friends house and there daughter had just saved up for d2 she’s 12 she was super excited to play. She loves hunters she is a great artist and draws awesome hunters. Well I help her get started and through a few missions. She gets to the point where she could do strikes so I help her get one fired up she gets going and obviously just learning the game and never done the strike before so dosent do so well with direction or kills. But she stuck In there and kept up with her fireteam and managed to help with some dps as best as most in there first strike. Then comes a message to her Xbox the other player had more then a few choice words about her play. Swearing at her to shoot and calling her other things for being slow and making sure she knew how bad she was. It was the lowest point I’ve seen in a game. A kid crying and never wanting to play it again and she hasn’t. Way to go op. There are some real bad people out there. And that’s my biggest problem with this game. That was real low though. She even messaged saying she was a kid and she was sorry. Her mother did report the two people but it dosent stop it.

5 RepliesThis is the kind of crap that makes every Destiny player look bad. All I hear on this thread is what the girl should or should not be allowed to do. What she should allowed to do is play this dam game without A-holes like this giving her a hard time. Not 1 dam person here has said what needs to be said. I Will Play With Her. Help her. We’re the hell has this community gone. If we let low life’s disparage every new player like this Game Is Over. Please give me these low life’s gamer tags. I will happily be suspended once a take care of these 2. Give this young lady my tag. After my suspension is over I will help her.

might be rough at that age but you learn the behavior of people on the internet that way. sadly people behave even more stupid online than in real life. been learning this lesson since i was about 5 (that makes it 20 years now.)

2 RepliesIt's concerning how many of the comments to this thread take this as a joke or something that isn't their problem. Anyone old enough to have children, nieces or nephews or even younger cousins would be up in arms if that happened in 'their family'. Folks need to understand that sending a crappy message to someone they don't know is just wrong on so many levels. Especially being angry over a game that's with random people. I've got no answers, just observing the volume of negative feedback within this thread which is disappointing. While I agree that the fact that the population of this game has dwindled, I do believe @Valkyrie IX stated that the overall population that's stayed has become pretty toxic. And to that I agree simply based on the comments in this one thread. Let's face it, this thread has nothing to do with the game itself. It's a post on civility and human interaction. Being civil is one of the things that differentiates us from being animals. Way to keep if classy folks. And for those of you that have remained civil, thank you so much! It's still possible to have what might be considered a negative comment or feedback, but still remain civil. I just hope some people might just learn that lesson.

3 RepliesPoint 1: Are they asses for talking down to a 12 yr old? Yes of course. Point 2: Don't put your 12 year old in that situation. Like it or not the adult that lets a kid go down the rabbit hole of an online game and actually talk to the masses is just as much at fault in this situation. A 12 year old...really? Are you trailer trash? A huge portion of the online player base in a game like this is already impatient, eager to make fun of people because the game is their release and they can do it safely with no repercussion, and they aren't there to baby sit a 12 yr old. You didn't have the forethought to think ahead to how a couple of randoms would react? Would you take this 12 yr old out to a bar with you 11pm on a Saturday? Would you expect everyone there to change their attitude, watch their language, for the whole culture of the setting to change because you brought her there? Hell no they are there to do what they came to do. Enter at your own discretion, and it's the same online. If you give a kid the keys to the kingdom you are responsible for what they are exposed to, period.

Rule 34 or it didn't happen?

Internet assholes. Gotta love em. I don’t understand why people be how they be, but I just assume they really need to feel good about themselves and be grateful that I’m not feeling so shitty.

2 RepliesI did a strike with two 12yo South African boys who weren't very good. I accepted their party invite and got chatting (50yo UK old man), they were really polite and funny and are now on my friends list. Assholes who message that kind of nonsense to anyone need to get a grip.
-
Most messages are like that. I don’t even bother reading them just delete them. It’s rare to see a positive message these days.
-
Thats evil. Tell your friend's daughter I'm sorry for her.

Sad story of snowflake melting when told the need to git gud before she do strikes with randoms.. but moral of story is she now will play better games and stop draw pictures of guardians. so win win in the end..

My daughter wanted to play destiny. It’s a pretty tame game all in all just running around the cosmodrome. I let her play with a few friends of mine, but never let her get seriously into it for this reason. The world is full of asshats. You can’t let kids interact without supervision on the internet. People like a lot of folks posting here are mean because they are safe behind their phone or keyboard. I never say anything online that I wouldn’t say to someone’s face.

6 RepliesI’ve stopped caring about kid gamers when a squeaker called me the N word in crucible. Save your sad sappy stories ok....

Good, slacker needs to learn to pull her weight. Crying won’t get her anywhere in life. Hope the father gave her a slap too!

Who sent the message? I just wanna talk

3 RepliesI’ve noticed over the last few months that the lower the player base has been getting the more toxic it is becoming. It’s not just strikes it’s raids, crucible/trials and nightfall’s. at this point the toxic idiots are out numbering us nice ones 😒

2 Replieslol did you just get online yesterday? It’s the internet!!! Keyboard warriors are everywhere. This isn’t a D2 problem. This is a bad parenting problem!!! The parents need to set their kids account with the correct [b]Privacy[/b] settings! Report the sender and tell her parents to take the responsibility and time to fix her account... Bad parenting is Bad!!!

1 ReplyIts your friend’s fault really, for allowing a little kid to play a game online without privacy settings and other tools and options available to block communication with strangers.

3 RepliesPlot twist: your friend’s daughter is... you.

5 RepliesThis has nothing to do with Destiny 2. This is something that happens on any online game. It's unfortunate, but it's a part of gaming online. Maybe, and this is just my opinion, her parents shouldn't let someone so young interact with random strangers on the internet. I know, it's crazy to think that parents should monitor what their children do.

next time post their id tags so ill have my choice of my own words to them! and i dont give a phuck if i have to buy an xbox to message them! it's bad enough she has to play a crappy game. she doeant need to play with shitty people!

Edited by Ubiquitous Pixel: 3/1/2018 9:00:01 PMI see two wrongs here with today’s world. For one, no one for any reason should message someone insulting them (especially over a video game) or especially telling them to go kill themselves. That is just plain immoral and wrong. Second, a 12 year old has no business playing online like that. It is rated T for teen, so that’s the parents fault for being irresponsible and exposing them to inevitable disrespectful muck of human beings within the internet. If anything positive were to come out of this, use those poor excuses of human beings as examples of what not to be like and teach the importance of mutual respect.

That’s literally horrible, people will say nasty things to you if you don’t play the way they want or what they see as “fair” I once got a message saying “reported” in d1... when I asked why the person replied “your hand cannon has luck in the chamber” (I must have gotten a lucky two shot on him 😆) But when I saw his reasoning for reporting me I just literally started laughing at how pathetic it was... to go out of your way to message me that you reported me for using something... that’s in the game. That prick wanted to what... race to the end of the strike just so they can get their milestone completed? So they can... dismantle their duplicate? You’re a very nice person for helping out a new player so they can get used to the game. My hopes are that she’ll give it a try again eventually and be able to enjoy it without messages like that.

Sickening. That poor child..

1 ReplyEdited by Killbilly Karma: 3/1/2018 4:50:37 AMThat is most certainly low. However, it is also most certainly [i]not[/i] new. Is it regrettable that a 12 year old was treated poorly online? Yes, absolutely. Is it also regrettable that a 12 year old was allowed by her parents/adult custodian to be in a position to be treated poorly online? Yes, absolutely. If you want to protect the innocence of a child you have to act like an adult - let go of the idealistic "how things [i]should[/i] be" and act on the realistic "how things [i]are[/i]." That is your job as an adult. Being idealistic and naive - that's for kids. It sucks that she was hurt. The person who did it was a prick, even though he had no idea he was bashing a child. The real problem here is you let it happen. Quit whining and start adulting.

Edited by Eden: 3/1/2018 6:46:20 PMThis isn't a Destiny 2 problem, it's an online gaming problem. Best thing you can tell your friend to do is mess around with their daughter's account's privacy settings so they can't receive messages or something like that. Sure, we can wax on about how the way people "should behave", but the fact of the matter is some people are just assholes. This is especially true when it comes to gaming. Trash talking has been a part of gaming culture since it's inception. Instead of expecting everyone else to conform to their standards, it's your friends job to protect their daughter from stuff like this until they reach a certain age. You wouldn't walk onto an active battlefield and expect not to get shot because that's "morally incorrect". It is, sure, but you're going to get shot anyway, because people are c*nts. Kind of an extreme example, but I'm sure you get my point. Sometimes precautions just have to be taken.
