Well shows degree of playing current game from bungie, so yes it does.

Not really. Playing Destiny doesn't mean much; its how long and how much you've added to this community that does. Helveck has been around here for 8 years; that automatically places his merit fairly high. What level you are in a game doesn't matter. It didn't matter back in Halo 2, it didn't matter back in Halo 3, it didn't matter back in Reach, and it doesn't matter now with Destiny.

He has not even finished the game basic parts let alone any raids. Unless magically leveled up since then. How can you suggest anything worth noting having not experienced it. Its like designing a building to code with out ever making a building to begin with. Anyone can type shit into a chat stream. Until destiny released have had no reason to even go to Bungie website. ODST was the last game and that was to get stats and rewards. So stuff it as years have nothing to do with contribution. Besides they delete posts every 3 days unless trending.

This site has been around since 2004. Sure, people came for the stats; but they stayed for the community. The stat support is nice and all, but its irrelevant and not actually important. Also, not true. I'm not sure who told you that, but they're wrong.
