I think that while playing this game we have all received some hatemail at some point. People will do it for anything. But something not everyone knows is how to respond to hatemail. So let's go over the best and worst responses.
Let's start with bad responses:
[b]The 12 Year Old-[/b] This response is very common, and involves using stupid comebacks that a 6th grader would use. "Your mom" jokes are a good example. By giving responses like these you only make the other dude laugh, when you want him to shit himself reading your response. Don't be a 12 Year old.
[b]Using KD or "We won"-[/b] Another pathetic response. Using KD as an argument is just dumb and easy to counter. Also never use the argument "We won." That is the most common one I see. It's understandable if the game is ranked and what not, but this is Destiny, winning means nothing.
Let's talk about the good responses now. These responses are meant to piss off the other guy, or just have him not message you after you obliterate him.
[b]The broken record-[/b] Probably my favorite, this involves sending the same word or phrase to the guy after every message. It makes people infuriated. I have had a guy send me a voice message telling me I'm a piece of shit after I said "totally" to 5 different messages of his. It works great.
[b]The pacifist-[/b] Another great one. This one involves appealing to what the guy says, it sounds stupid, buy works surprisingly well. Just say things like, "If it makes you feel better" or "I guess I do suck." People want to start arguments and make you mad. This just tells them that you don't care and it makes them angry.
[b]The Babysitter-[/b] This one brings out the nastiness in people, and should be used when someone uses a plethora of vulgar words. But when they do this, just say stuff like "You talk to your mom with that mouth?" Or "Do you need your mouth washed out with soap?" If they are over 18 then you should prepare yourself for an onslaught of messages, but it's hilarious how angry they get.
Edit: It seems that some people believe that [b]The Broken Record[/b] is similar that of a [b]12 Year Old.[/b] [i][u]Let me set the record straight.[/u][/i] [b]The Broken Record[/b] is on the maturity level of a 13 year old, which is what we all are here in the Destiny community. Affiliating our sophistication and maturity with that of a 12 year old is just insulting.

Although I don't get it much because I'm not that good in PvP but have gotten it in past sometimes. I just say: I feel you, bro! (Just spam to every mail)

And 'we won' and 'your KD sucked' are the best responses. You think your an expert at this shit? I've been doing this for years

What I say: No, this is Patrick.

8 RepliesI goad people into cussing at me, then I tell them they are reported. Then they usually break out the racist slurs and homophobic slurs. Then I actually report them. I've gotten over 20 people banned on xbox live.
-
One guy was completely raging at me for using a machine gun in Rumble, so I did a sort of sarcastic, "overly polite in such a way as to give him the finger" series of responses.
-
Learn to do an evil maniacal laugh. Then send a voice message. Love it.

I t-bagged someone in rumble and we ended up running trials together
-
I'll make a snarky reply then block so they can't respond
-
I have only ever received one email of hate. Some person told me I sucked and should kill myself. I replied with "LOL".
-
2 RepliesEdited by RichGhost77: 5/13/2016 9:05:22 AMI just type "Yes yesssss let the hate flow through you!" "i love you" is always a good one too
-
I usually reply with "Thanks!! :D" or I bait them into further argument. The second they send a swear, I report, tell them to enjoy their comms ban and then block them. Getting salty in a videogame just leads to further trolling kids. Keep a lid on it, punch a cushion. Just dont be that neanderthal moron that thinks sending nasty messages makes you anything other than a blithering idiot!!!

Edited by ro-kurorai: 5/14/2016 5:30:24 PMI simply don't give a -blam!- and ignore them. But I love "CommanderShepard's" approach and might try it in the future.
-
I ask"who is this?"
-
Set up your account to receive mail only from friends.

My usual response is Yeah I suck so what?
-
1 ReplyI just feed off of hate mail Can anyone give me some so I may feed
-
*receives hate mail "I don't beef kid, I'm herbivore."
-
How to respond to hate mail: Don't. I learned it the hard way. I got reported by some kid and 29 of his twitch viewers for teabagging him when he teabagged first. Just ignore them.
-
I just send teehee to people. If they respond to that its usually with a fury that rivals a thousand suns. People hate it
-
Someone sent me hate mail once. My reply was "wow. We've only just met and we're already at a difficult point in our relationship. Does this..does this mean were bffls?" He said omg and blocked me

-
I just agree with them and try to make a joke of it, after all it's just a game
-
I just press report and psn usually messages in 2 days saying its been processed
-
I am so sweaty that when I sign on the local new station issues a flood warning. In what universe did you think you could ever beat me? #gitgewdskrub

I just don't reply as it's pathetic either way. End of the day it's a game
