Hello Guardians,
[i](Make sure to read the edits at the bottom of this post)[/i]
I am proud to say that I am an avid supporter of the Destiny community. However, there is a line that is crossed CONSTANTLY while playing Trials of Osiris, and any other form of PVP. Every week, I hop onto Destiny with friends and clan mates in order to dominate the playing field in order to gain the Trials gear. With that said, there are many groups of people that can best us, whether our game is off, or they are just overall better at Trials. After winning the match (and during the match), there is many people "teabagging" and showing unsportsmanlike behavior. Not only do people do things non-verbally, there is many times that players have messaged me calling me out for me and my clan's skill level, which I find disrespectful.
All in all, I don't expect this to stop. It is sadly a part of the competitive gaming culture. However, I think that Destiny as a gaming community is one of the greatest. PVE is the prime example of this. Random strangers will help you out in tough encounters with enemies, help you complete the raid if you never have, cheer you on for gaining cool loot and much more things that make this game extremely different from any other.
I would LOVE to see this more in Destiny PVP. I am not asking for the skilled players to be less competitive, or to purposely lose a round. If you want to go 5 - 0, do it! I encourage you. However, reframe from being rude to fellow players. They are here because the love playing the game, just like you.
If this topic has been touched upon before, I apologize for not looking into it. I wanted to voice my own opinion and I hope that you can respect this. If you agree with this, please comment your thoughts. I would like to see this on the trending forum post so that Bungie can see this.
[b]EDIT:[/b] After reading many messages, let me make a few things clear. I am not raging, nor am I a sore loser. What I am saying is there is a lot of rude people who play the game and that goes with ANY multiplayer game. That's how it is! And I am not a fan of teabagging because it is degrading and shows that the players think they are the shit. However I could care less. The thing that pisses me off the most is when people message me afterwards with rude messages. Now just because I dislike these things, doesn't mean I can't handle it. I love Destiny and it's community, and what I am trying to say, is that we are better than that.
To all of you people who have commented stories of helping others to the lighthouse, congratulating people on their performance, thank you. You are the guardians that deserve the rewards. You guys have fought, won, and continue to win afterwards because of your awesome leader skills.
[b]Final Edit:[/b] Thank you for all the feedback. Once again, this isn't about having my feelings hurt, or that people are bullies and need to stop (which bullying is a serious issue), its more about how you act. Most of you are taking the Teabagging part of this post to literally. Overall I am saying is don't be a dick. However, I did recognize that it is impossible to eliminate that behavior. I have been told many stories of cyberbullying that has occurred through Destiny, and I think that shouldn't be okay to do. [b] I am the voice for the people that are scared to be judged or bullied on online forums or in game for voicing their opinions.[/b]

Why don't you cry about it

ahem... [i]bagbagbagbagbagbag[/i]

I just got a phantom medal, come at me
-
What the hell are they tea-bagging? Your ghost? This is why i hate Halo players tsk tsk tsk.
-
I've gotten messages with both compliments and hate. The hate usually comes from someone who t bagged me, and then I t bag them back several times. That's my rule, if you do it, I will respond. I really appreciate messages complimenting me on my gameplay or saying GG, and I usually do the same. I've made some great teammates this way.
-
please be on xbox so if i see you i will remember to drop these nuts all over....lol mabye i will send you a GG if you do it back...lmao at this post
-
I don't send negative messages, or tea bag, but I punch the CHIT outta guardians I've downed. I also unload entire mags into their lifeless bodies if the encounter was especially annoying. End of matches? FoH their body off the map if I can, or send it flying into a wall...hard. Dancing, waving, and pointing at the corpses makes me smile.
-
If you dont TBag, or wave at my ghost It offends me, I earned it damnit. My fav clip is when I make a spin kill on a titan who got behind me, I politely tbag his failbody when two of his teamates rush up killing me with my pants down. They both give me the slow motion tbag that feels like mom scorn, THEN after they run off, you think my embaresment is over but before I am allowed respawn the original Titan spawns, runs over but runs past my ghost ...suddenly stops...stands motionless a fraction of a second ..moonwalks back to me , gives me a final quick single bag before running off. I laughed so hard and deserved, enjoyed all of it
-
That's a reason I like PC gaming. Generally after a game people will just type GG and move on. There's no way I'm going to message every person saying GG on console.
-
it's a game :/
-
I don't see why everyone is so against t-bagging. lol There are times to do it and times to not. I do it when I'm playing against either: A. Trolls B. Scrubs

Edited by Shadow: 9/9/2015 7:53:02 PMWhy are ppl so offended by tea bagging its fun to do i admit but its not serious. You give tea bagging its power to affect by constantly complaining about it as if it had killed your mother. Its just a stupid in game mechanic nothing more when ppl tea bag me i just laugh and move on. Its what grown ppl do. To add on to the rest of the topic its the internet worse yet its PvP you cannot stop negativity in a competitive environment so just deal with it by simply laughing and moving or if your like me see it as a opportunity to have more fun.
-
People will always t bag, especially guardians with a .5 kd. Just let it go or t bag them back lol. I find it kind of funny, just don't let it get to you.
-
Edited by Zonkerbl: 9/9/2015 7:48:30 PMlol - so let me get this straight. Here is this thing called PVP in the video game world which has been populated mostly by utter douchebags for its entire existence, starting with Ultima Online, and you're surprised and angry to encounter utter douchebags while playing it? I'm shocked. SHOCKED.
-
Quit being so thin skinned, its a game deal with it.
-
I'm 38 and see nothing wrong with t bagging. It's silly and stupid and it's a game who cares?
-
So basically some nerd just got bagged and decided to wright a novel from it
-
makes note of guardians name for future teabagging related stuff...........you have been marked.....my balls will find you
-
'Blows whistle * No points deducted
-
If I win in trials, I will wave If I win in trials against very good opponents and/or coming back from something like 4-0/4-1 I will dance at the end. If you dance mid-game/teabag/use final round/camp so hard that I can smell the s'mores/use Thorn-glitch I will tea-bag at the end....

i love the destiny community one time some random strangers on patrol held some sync plates for us, we were undermanned we still couldnt get past the Templar after that but it was still nice
