My first venture in the VoG was on hard mode and we got all the way to the end and no one explained what to do when you get teleported out. Needless to say I died a couple of times, still nobody was giving me a clue on what to do. All of the sudden so kid starts yelling and screaming at me calling me a idiot and stuff then says f--kyou and kicks me. Wish there were more people like you out there.

I find the storytelling more hilarious than the loot because of how accurate you portray squeakies :) squeakers are like Chihuahuas if you ask me. Makes a lot of noise and acts all tough and mighty but when push comes to shove they hunker down and lets others take the hits, at least in my experience :) I had one fun time in VoG that won't escape my mind though. In contrast to your squeaker story :) Some time ago (late september I think, before the VoG tactics were really set in stone) I was heading there with my team but we ended up one man short cause we couldn't find a sixth guy off our friends lists. Went to Tower and invited randoms. Guy pops into the fireteam after a minute and fills the last slot and the first sound I hear is the familiar high-pitched voice type... Crap.. But I ain't one to kick fellows because of how they sound, even though I knew from past experiences that the youngsters in general are mostly inclined to focus on themselves if sh..*BEEEP!* hits the fan. Decided to give the kid a try and if he turned out to be a liability then and only then would I look for a replacement. So there we went, five of us at 29 and the kid at 28 (this were before Dark Below and thus level cap of 30). Got in, got first chest, went to town with the defending confluxes part. Then comes the Oracles. Starts off good, but hiccups on the semi-last wave and four goes down to Ritual of Negation. Last wave starts and it's just me and the kid still standing and the others on the 30 second countdown. Crap times two... Off we start and takes the first Oracle, then I mess up by double jumping into a Minotaur I tried to escape from and bounces away over the edge. Geronimooo! GUARDIAN DOWN Enough Crap's to get me banned for improper language! And there is the kid left with almost 15 seconds left til the four dead ones can be revived, with Oracle spawning in full swing. And until then he's been doing alright, nothing impressive but totally no dead meat just along for the ride. Gods be damned but the guy went flying left and right and took out every Oracle on his own until the second or third last one, which he shot while reviving one of the dead ones and together they got the final Oracles. Dunno how he survived all that fire. Think three of us got Praedyth's Revenge there and the kid got Suros for it if I remember correctly so the loot system worked for us there. But I personally have bad luck in Crota's End with the drops. Doing it twice per week with my Warlock and Hunter and so far I've only gotten arms and chest for the Warlock and then I keep getting exotics or other items that I already have.

Except for the two raids I've done with the two of my friends, and the fact that everyone was 30+, this is what the last three raids for me where like. Man I just hate squeakers who think they deserve everything and think they're the boss of you when you have much more experience ( and skill ) then them.

If we all joined a clan then all the squeakers would have to join together to Raid! That thought actually gives me nightmares.

Imagine six level 31 squeakers telling everyone what to do, all the time. And getting Gjallahorn of course!

Oh btw, to answer many questions of the same form, the squeaker was the host. This is shown when he threatens to kick the Level 27 in the Gorgon Labyrinth.

I personally would've kicked him and/or left once he kept yelling at the 27; of course that person'll have a harder time, they're 4-5 levels lower than everyone else. At the very least I would've told him to shut up.. It was funny to read, though. :D Isn't that chest thing just a rumor?

Lol soo true and funny.... Must have taken ages to write

It wasn't long but it wasn't short. Because I already knew all the details, I just had to write down roughly what my experience with randoms are like.
