Well a friend of mine had invited me to a Crota checkpoint to help him finish but then apparently half his team dropped out and we couldn't do it with only us two.
So my friend tells me a friend of his is also running Crota's End but back at the Bridge section and asks me if he wants us to join their game since they are short two people. I say "Sure why not?" So we go ahead and join and immediately upon joining I am barraged by a flurry of insults because apparently my PSN name is "stupid" and "funny" to them. They say a WHOLE LOT of stuff that I can't even list them all. Apparently they didn't like my voice either because when I talked I was insulted for how I sounded like too. Apparently to them I sounded like a white redneck which is funny because I'm not even white nor do I even sound like a redneck at all. He also couldnt detect sarcasm because when he said, "This is why i hate white people", I responded with "Yup cause i am white," he went on to say "thats what i just said lol." He's also apparently racist too against white people even though I'm not white. Oddly enough my friend was also insulted as well, even by the guy that was his friend too so I found that very odd.
At this point shit got real and one of them essentially said to kill myself because of the way I sounded because I apparently sound like I was depressed and ready for suicide, all the while the rest of his squeaker friends (yes they were squeakers too, though the one who gave the serious insult sounded like a grown man. My friend is also a squeaker but he's a cool kid. Yeah, there are awesome squeakers as well) were laughing their butts off. How much must their lives suck that they have to go out of their way to insult someone over a PSN name and the way someone sounds like (tried telling them this too but apparently they can't hear either cause all they heard apparently was gibberish from me according to them). Needless to say, I reported every single one of those turds except my friend with the "Unfriendly" report and promptly left when the game would let me. I didn't even do a damn thing in the Raid. This all happened while I was still spawning in. I hadnt done a damn thing yet in the game.
So I'm back in orbit and I ask my friend what all that was about and he tells me he had no idea. He only knew one of them. The rest were people his friend knew. Apparently that guy has some really douchy friends.
Anyway, tl;dr...
Tried joining a Crota's End raid, was barraged by insults over my PSN name and voice by a grown man and a bunch of squeakers and was also told to kill myself. Reported each one and promptly left the game. Their lives must suck ass if they immediately insult someone joining a game.
EDIT 1: Thanks for all the kind words of support everyone. I really appreciate it.
EDIT 2: Thanks to all those offering to run the raid with me even if we don't have the same console. If you are interested in running any Raid with me, I'm on PS3. PSN: Snake_Dude
I do hope to upgrade to PS4 though eventually.
EDIT 3: Those few that keep saying why didn't I two man or even solo the Raid, I wasnt prepared to run the Raid at all. I was joining under the assumption that a full fireteam was there and only wanted my help to beat Crota. Crota is easy enough to take down in a group so I decided to join. I didn't expect for half his fireteam to dropout a few seconds after I joined. Also I've never soloed or two manned a Raid. I'm sure with enough practice and preparation though I could probably do it.
EDIT 4: Those that keep asking me why didn't I leave or report them the moment I entered, note two things. First, I wasnt able to leave immediately, the insults started flying the second I was still loading into the Raid, as in I was in the ship loading screen where it's impossible to back out short of logging out of the game (and I wasn't about to do that as I was still going to play Destiny). I left shortly after I had spawned in once the game would let me. Second, I did report them. Not sure why people keep telling me to do this or asking why I didn't do this. I said it in the original post and even in the tl;dr that I did report them.

Mute. Or better - bail. There is nothing in this game or any future dlc worth suffering through crap.

Same exact thing happened to me when I tried to join a friend who invited me in the VoG. They made fun of my voice and asked me to kill myself too, probably because my voice is pretty deep and can sound monotone at times. But it ended with them passing the host to my friend, who they asked to kick me, who instead passed it to me, and I ended up kicking all of them in the middle of killing Templar. They were going insane, yelling and screaming, threatening to find me in real life and kill me and my family. It was the funniest thing I've ever heard. But yeah, I know what you mean OP, just ignore it and maybe you'll laugh over it later on.

Edited by rogue_theory_: 6/11/2015 7:49:07 PMAhh. For years, those are the reasons I refused to use a mic. In my PC days, I was told I sounded like a little boy...they didn't believe I was a real girl. Gasp! People can be very stupid. No less, I was excluded from a lot of end game things or just treated like crap. Oh well. Sorry you had that experience with your friend's friends. Kudos to you for reporting and leaving. :) Hope you have much better luck from here on out.

If you're on PS3 add me man. I went to do crota at CP, and they asked me to run sword no problem. I'm a Titan I said I can pop a bubble before killing swordbearer and someone has to distract boomers inside my bubble. Get sword, not even on ledge yet to go, they already shot rockets I hail ass up there no one distracts boomers. Happened 4 times and a lot of flack coming my way before I said -blam!- this and 3 manned it with close friends

I hate squeakers sometimes a lot of them like to act tough behind a screen..... Sometimes I wish I could just go through the screen and punch a squeaker who acts tough
-
People who are hidden behind the Internet are brave. They're probably just assholes who would never dare say that to anyone in real life
-
There are A-holes everywhere, especially online. Just shrug it off, they aren't worth the energy necessary to think about them.
-
Didn't read.
-
People are ass hats dude... I'm sorry.
-
My question is... What do white people sound like? You said you dont even sound like one...
-
Why not report them and move on?
-
Edited by Alpha: 6/11/2015 1:47:47 PMThat just really sucks i can feel their hostility from no where i never insult someone in random group well.. world is big and jerks always exist
-
It's sad what people have been reduced to. Especially young "squeekers" who probably arent older than 12. The fact that young kids and especially a grown adult would say these things just proves that quite a bit of this community is worthless. Wish you were on xbox, man. Would love to play with ya.

Nah brah, you just met brits. [spoiler]jk, no hate😋[/spoiler]

Sometimes it's better just to 2 man it?
-
If you REALLY wanted, I'm pretty sure that it is illegal to tell someone to kill themselves (assisted suicide?) and you could probably have something done about that. Seeing someone on the Internet tell someone else to kill themselves makes me 1. sad 2. ponder life 3. wish they would take their own advice It's just stupid to say something like that. It's "trolling" sure, but that doesn't make it ok. Trolls are so sad, and deserve to have internet taken away from them 100%
-
Report them
-
Easy fix leave fire team straight up.
-
Wow! Sometimes people just suck! Don't give-up though, not everyone is like that. I'm sure you'll have a positive experience in CE soon.
-
Trash talking and people telling you to kill yourself is the reason why I hate online voice communications. I always stay in a party by myself or with people I know IRL. It's crazy to have someone tell someone else to kill themselves because that person may needed just that to go off and do it and the sad part about it is that player who encouraged him to do it will never see punishment. People handle things differently. Especially if gaming is a good escape from a hard life then they have to hear that bullshit and feel even more like crap. Hang in there. Screw people like that.
-
Dude, just leave the fireteam and move on with your life. No need to write a novel over it.
-
Player report review is your friend. And Bungie does look into them. Haven't had to report many but have out of love for a good time playing destiny.
-
Terrible man. People on psn are so ignorant I'm lucky to have a solid crew. And for all the people out there asking our friend here why he didn't solo it.... [spoiler]SHUT THE FU CK UP[/spoiler]
-
For someone who was apparently speaking "gibberish" this is a very well written post. Just ignore people like that, they're not even worth your time. Permanently block them and have fun with the game.
-
ive had that happen to me at one point. what i did, i just unplugged my mic, and i make their raid a living hell.

Everyone on Xbox is generally nice idk about psn but I wanna get a ps4
