Ig yeah when you lose all your player base, all that’s left is the worst of the worst, the bottom of the barrel. The filthiest, most disgustingly toxic human beings nature has to offer. Lemme paint the picture. TLDR, thx to the community’s toxicity, i don’t think I’ll ever touch a PVP scenario in Destiny ever again. And for new players that read this? Don’t get involved with this community. They’re nice up until you mess up…. So, for those willing to read, I usually run text chat off. Saves me from the toxicity. But for some idiotic reason I left it on. “It won’t be that bad. Surely people just won’t care and go about their lives.” Now I’m below average at PVP but I always try my best so that I don’t ruin the lives of others. Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose, I try. I know people get pissed when they lose, and this community CLEARLY is no exception. But the amount of team chat hate, toxicity, etc, was so bad I finally reached the point where i crashed out. Hard. Over and over, every 2 matches or so, if I made mistakes, sucked, etc. someone in team chat was ready to -blam!- on me. If it was a two stack, I’d always get jumped by my own teammates. Insults, slurs, you name it. Oh well, report and move on. But it got to a point where people were actively telling me I was ruining the experience for everyone, that I should be banned from trials, that I’m “insert slur here”. It wasn’t the insults that got me, so much as how it was becoming every other match I was just getting bullied basically. I get it, I suck, I always try to warm up before I go hard into trials, I try to improve. But after this entire weekend of the worst toxicity you could imagine, I just don’t even wanna bother. Ever again. In ANYTHING crucible. The last straw was this one clown who didn’t care what I had to say. I told him I wasn’t very good, that was all he needed to hear. He laid into me the entire match. Saying that I’m -blam!-, I’m worthless irl, and just about every -blam!- up insult you can probably think of. I felt like I was back in old COD mw2 lobbies. Turns out me being bad cost his 6x win streak maybe? But I snapped. Hard. All the toxicity I had to put up with over the weekend finally spilled over and I went ballistic in voice chat. After everything, I just simply sat back, understood my mistake. The mistake was I should’ve never went into trials in the first place. I should’ve never thought that there was still good left in this god forsaken community. So if there are even any new players left daring to try Trials or any comp PvP for that matter, turn back. I’m not looking for validation, apologies, or any people that agree. I don’t care what anyone has to say or what opinion anyone has on this. I just needed to get off my chest that what’s left of this community has reached such a disgusting low point that nobody is allowed to enjoy anything in this sham of a game, and you’re not allowed to try in PVP. At all. Honestly, hope this post gets forgotten in time. If you made it this far in reading, thx for the view ig? I don’t even care if this gets read or not. I just hope new players understand that this community is not as nice as it seems. Not anymore.
