Really, the question says it all. Do you respect those who have braved the Trials and have gone flawless, visiting Mercury?
I mean, I most certainly do, as I myself know how difficult it can be, and I want to know what the community thinks.

Not usually
-
If they got carried then no
-
Depends if they went flawless and destroy me with no land beyond then yes. But if they went flawless and I stomp them into the dirt then no
-
Nope Everything they can do I can do better
-
1 ReplyRespect? No. It's a game. That's the same as asking if I respect the guy next door because he's great at Battleship.
-
1 ReplyNo, because you don't know their history. I don't respect strangers
-
Only after I play them
-
No because it's a video game
-
Do I respect people for being good at a video game?! Haha... is this a serious question? I respect people who stand up for their ideals while not trampling on others. I respect people who sacrifice and die to protect others. I respect people for trying to make themselves and the world a better place. There are lots of things I respect people for; just playing video games isn't one of them. [spoiler]No disrespect to video games. Frankly I love them, and they are one of my favorite past times. Unless you are applying your skill at video games into real life (such as making it a job by legitimately playing pro, being a successful tuber/streamer, or are a creator of games yourself, there is no reason for respect. Even if you don't like or disagree with those that play pro at games or are tuber/streamers, at least they contributing to the economy and are not leeching off of it. That might not immediately merit respect, but could if their contribution becomes big enough. But playing a game as a hobby and getting respect for it? Seriously... come'on.[/spoiler]

The majority of ppl on my friends list get carried through trials. Something I refuse to take part in I should add. Not to mention you have a good amount of ppl cheating in trials. Instead of respecting them like I should, I just wonder what malicious things they possibly did to go flawless.

If I see the flawless emblem it doesn't earn them my respect, my team have gone most weekends so anyone that beats us as a team gets my respect even if they don't end up going .. Made it twice this weekend so far using a pulse rifle (bad juju red death or messenger ) and a non final round sniper, now happy my team doesn't need thorn

No. For all you know they could have been carried through by 2 really good players. However I do respect people if they have a high grimoire. Mine is 3565 and I'm on Xbox and still haven't gone flawless. Grimoire takes hundreds and thousands of hours of commitment.
-
Yeah, because I know without their help, I'll never go.
-
Yea, especially those that go multiple times every weekend.
-
Haha, no
-
Well, more so than someone who hasn't, generally speaking.
-
1 ReplyRespect? For what? For using thorn, felwinters and final round snipers? F*ck no.
-
I only respect those who I encountered in the trials that play legit. No lag switch or any other type of cheating.
-
If you use the Thorn or the Last Word to go flawless, I do not respect you as much as others who have went flawless without those.
-
8 RepliesDefinitely. I've faced some of you in the Crucible and you've well deserved it. There are some great players and some even better teams.
-
Eh, some of them suck ass, so it depends.
-
Totally. It's an awesome challenge. I know how hard it was for my team, so I respect Flawless emblem players
-
Edited by Phobia: 7/4/2015 11:56:27 PMUnfortunately I can't respect it. Mainly because of how many times if been booted offline during games where my team is winning 4-0. Second thorn users, crutch weapon that doesn't really take any skill to use. I've gone flawless, and it is difficult especially since two members of my team hardly ever play crucible, me being on of them.
-
4 RepliesNope. Only respect the guys with high grimore and the rabbit emblem. You gonna have a bad time with those guys!!
-
I used to but not anymore. All of the people that backed out. U versed a full team of thorn with the emblems. Won 5-0
