I want you to imagine if everyone, from every console, and every level, was actually living in the world of Destiny. All the rules apply, you can be revived, but you die if you die in a darkness zone alone. Now think, you are a soldier of the recovering light, and you can't fight back alone. You need the help of every guardian, every man woman and child, human exo and awoken, titan warlock and hunter. In this world, instead of making fun of or excluding the person without a weapon, wouldn't it make more sense to help them? To give them a chance, and give hope to the light? Every soldier would count, no matter if they had a Gjallahorn or a No Land Beyond. I'm saying this because, I think most of those people excluding other players because of weapons, wouldn't last a day, and the level tens making friends and dreaming about the future, they would last forever.

Edit: well, didn't expect this thread to get so popular. Spread the word across the people's of our fine forum!
Edit: For a while, I have been developing an idea for a democratic body in the forum, so we can get exactly what we want in Bungie's face, instead of them just reading whatever is sent to them. If we make this council official, the people could finally have a single voice worth listening to by Bungie. Think about it and post it below!

We're not actually dying in life, because Destiny is a game...so, no..you won't get people selflessly helping each other. Also, have you ever played paintball in the woods? you get freaking shot at, by your own team mates, because they think its a laugh. And if a council was every created, I expect that many many others, including myself, would go out of the way to sabotage it. Like that prat who got invited to some Destiny TTK event, saying"blah blah blah, i'm honored to represent the Destiny community" -sure as heck doesn't represent me
