Helping Newbs get a better expericne
There is a good response from a post I put out about helping newbs. Experienced players should help other newer players, as the learning curve is quite high and rather unfriendly towards newer players. Just because it might be easy for you, just because you see something a certain way, doesn't mean others do.
That said, a system where if you can pull a new player through their first nightfall, GM, Campaign, exotic mission (like xenophage, god, I do not know how many people I got through that one), been a raid when they are a bit more leveled up or anything that takes a team and thus you would get an emblem or even better - an exotic weapon that isn't useless, would really change why so many players play the free game and never come back to play it or pay for more.
So the question for the poll, "should Destiny have a program to pair experienced players with newbs and offer a reward system to show the community what 'getting it done' really means?

Until they add the old campaigns back into the game along with not dumping the seasonal stories every year, I don't see any reason for new players to start D2.

Turn your mic on and ask for help. I accidentally had my fireteam set to public one day. I’m in the tower and some random guardian joins. It was a little kid and they asked if I could help finish a mission they were stuck on. So we beat the mission. Just gotta speak up and ask sometimes. I’m all for a system to help. But I don’t think it’s necessary considering the time that could be spent improving the game other ways.

They tried with guided games back in the day and I did them a lot because they had cool emblems but the system was just launched really half baked. Half the time I got my friends to queue as seekers so that we could just play together. I feel like with fireteam finder now being in the game and honestly pretty good they could do something with it. I like carrying people through/teaching stuff and will never be the guy in the LFG who leaves when they hear someone say theyve never done it but 90% of people have no patience and leave after one wipe of anything so an incentive to help people out would be good since this game is so prohibitive to new players

OP's take is the right one. Or B.) You're wrong and dumb.
