Your point about jealousy and animosity is a good one. I notice this within myself because my RNG has been TERRIBLE with Black Armory. People who I used to carry as a 600 in my clan are now higher than me and rubbing it in whereas I'm like 611 max after grinding for two days. Today was much better than yesterday but I know I hate feeling like this, haha. Honestly, I just hate when people brag about exotics (not quests 'cause that takes effort), rolls, whatever when they're being carried and I'm over here grouping up and doing the exact same things as my buddies in the same fireteam but am stuck at a LL lower than them because I can't even get engrams to drop. No reason to brag when RNG doesn't take skill or commitment. I'm a salt fest.
