The Different Types of Destiny Raiders
The different types of Destiny players I've met when finding random groups through lfg for VoG:
The Weed-man: can't stop talking about how high he is, how great his weed is, and constantly broadcasts himself coughing. Usually really bad at the game and doesn't do anything he is supposed to do.
The "Experinced" know-it-all: joins and tells everyone how amazing they are at the game/VoG, and then proceed to suck so bad they continually wipe the group for hours. "I cleared hard mode this week like 10 times bro, I know what I'm doing."
The Distracted Guy: responds about 20% of the time to requests made by the group to do certain tasks in the raid. Always responds with "yeah I'm here" in the rare case that they do respond. Proceed to do their own thing and are dead 95% of the time.
The Rage Quitter: plays with the group until there's a wipe or something doesn't go their way. They don't say anything but just drop the Fireteam.
The Good Raider: the rarest person to find. They know what to do, are patient, and don't freak out when someone dies but instead helps recover and move on.
Sometime you get people who fit into more than one type as well.

That moment that this post is 8 months old

Im a good raider mixed with rage quiter. When someone starts constantly complaining and blaming people instead of helping, I get frustrated can't hold my tongue and end up quitting. Now on lfg I always ask for lower level people because they are usually chill due to being helped.
-
What about the guy that is inexperienced yet watched enough to not ask too many questions. Super willing to help out and will communicate as needed. Totally fine with veterans telling them what to do. Constantly helping with revives and has good weapons. Thats me at least.

The guy with bad internet "Alright guys, time to down Crot-" Disappears.

3 RepliesCompletely mis-labeled the weed-man, but that is okay I will not take any disrespect from it. What you are describing, my friend, is a 15 year-old poser who just discovered his first bud of brown booty under a rock at the corner and needs to make his presence in this world known through the only way that he knows; Trying to relate himself to the culture popularized and made "cool" by today's rap and hip hop genre. The real weed-man was in bed before you started the raid XD
-
The real weed man is that guy who is muted smoking contributing and only talks to say "yeah I'm still here Im focusing on breathing normal"
-
If you talk about how high you are and how much you smoke to others who aren't the same guys you play with everyday then you probably just picked up your first steamroller. I only talk about 420 blaze up no scope the same time us 3 lfg for groups to help and constantly kill the first gorgon you encounter. Just to say I found the sixth chest guys
-
I'm none

I'm a different type. I'm a "I'm only here for the loot but this really isn't fun for me" Which is odd, because that's also how I am in PvP thanks to Exotic Bounties. Destiny is my relax and kill things game. I unwind after work popping heads off Fallen. It's fun, I get to hang out with a few friends, but make me do mechanics and competitive stuff, I grit my teeth to get through it. I think we're called casuals.
-
And then there is the dreaded 13-year-old British kid: Joins and immediately believes that they are the only player here that could do the raid blindfolded and are immune to mistakes. Often coming up with a useless and long-winded 'plan' about what the team 'needs to do', they are convinced that they are the natural leader. With a remarkable ability to combine the worst characteristics of all the previously mentioned playstyles, the 13-year-old Brit is the first to chastise, berate, mock, and insult any other player that fails to efficiently carry them. Laughable on their own, but potentially game-ruining in a pack, the 13-year-old Brit should be removed from the fireteam immediately

You forgot the endangered raiders. You know? The ones that climate change and over poaching has dwindled to nothingness? You can associate the endangered raider with the House of Wolves. That was the defining moment in the destiny Universe, where raiders found themselves with no new raid. No new six-gaurdian content. The number of endangered raiders are growing in size, substantially. All that remains are stories of cheesing Aetheon & subtle clues of Crota's Ogre Posse.
-
Don't forget the rookie/inexperienced guy. We're still out here. I've done each raid maybe once, and am still not sure how everything works, really. A lot of us just don't have a bunch of friends online, let alone 6 at once. PoE has me ecstatic for a chance to actually get to end-game level, because 3 players is WORLDS easier to assemble than 6. Just kinda worried I won't ever get Fatebringer or Vex. Oh well.

I'm the weed man / good raider. I mean I'll be high but I won't brag lol
-
The good raider
-
1 ReplyI classify as a "Good Raider", but I do get impatient after 100 attempts on anything BUT Templar
-
The good raiders ive meet heaps of these guys/girls same with stoners but the know it alls are the worst usually they are the worst player! " i just soloed crota last night on hard so ill use the sword" wipe at crota 5 times in a row because he cant even jump up to crota! And then cries because this is bullshit because i stole the sword off him to get it done!

7 RepliesEdited by SREDISKRAD: 6/1/2015 10:48:50 PMI'm the distracted good raider, too busy focusing on saving our asses that conversation isn't my first thought. Would raid more but I'm not a 34 and I don't have a Gjallarhorn...f[u]u[/u]cking elitists.
-
Not to brag. But I am the last one. I make mistakes here and there. But I know what to do. And I'm patient
-
22 RepliesI'm a stoner and don't talk about how high I am. My team might make comments about how high I am but I don't lol

1 ReplyI fit in the last one

2 RepliesWhat kind of raider am I? I respond to LFG for Crota Hard CP. I then spend the next 2.5 hours trying to kill Crota but with no success only coming close a couple of times. Not saying anything negative (or really at all) because I don't want to be like the above mentioned raiders; but getting frustrated because the fireteam leader wants his 12 year old kid to get experience sword bearing Crota and refuses to let anyone else be sword bearer. And after 2.5 hrs hearing him defend his son and telling his son how good he is, I get off because I have to get up for work and stayed up an hour later than I planned. After leaving fireteam I delete everyone from that LFG from my friends list. Just wondering what kind of raider I am?

1 ReplyI am all and none at the same time. I am the rarest of Raiders. You will be lucky to raid with me. #tongueincheek
-
This raider classification brought to you by a noob with 20 raid completions.
-
My clan mates started calling me patience & time because I'm willing to help them through anything while never getting hissy. Too many players' blood boils while playing the game. Best not to play with those who get that way.

I'm the distracted guy
