Why do you people call yourselves Hunters, Titans, Warlocks? You realize you're a Human right!
Seriously, your really not one. You play a fictional character in a game. Unless some con event or real life gaming event is going on, I've never seen a Hunter, Titan, Warlock just strolling down the road and even then it was real person dressed up as one. I mean Halloween is coming up, so every witch, werewolf, or vampire seen is real? I know it's fun to play make believe but some people take it too seriously. Thoughts.
Edit 1# Very clever response. I seen a few but this one is classic. Not really my point but I'm open to opinions despite what a few children that replied believe. As for you others, I thank you for really responding and having fun.

[quote]I agree to a certain extent, but my reasoning is why the hell do people call themselves Hunters, Warlocks and Titans when the vast majority of you play as all three? Lol.[/quote]
Edit #3.2 I'm off to bed. No not in my imaginary one on my ship or in the tower. A real bed where we actually sleep and if you're not a child, then you know what I mean when I say, I won't be sleeping right away. I have a real woman next to me that doesn't throw a rock on my map as I'm discussing important plans ;) Have a great time debating amongst the hive.... I mean yourselves. Damn it I almost fell into the darkness.

At long last someone cracked the code and understands not everything is so literal. Have fun people and enjoy life.
Final touch: From one of the most insightful gamers I had the pleasure of gaming with during my Socom days and tournament runs. By the way this was a kid too. Also, tags are not always needed so before #satire. Come on!

In real life you only get one chance and there is no restart button or 1ups. Make it count while it last. Enjoy it, have fun and more importantly don't take things so seriously. Happy Gaming All!

Why would real people identify as being something that they aren't? The answer: laziness. "What class do you play as?" "I play as a hunter." "What are you?" "I'm a hunter." The second conversation, while not necessarily being accurate, (unless you're Ted Nugent... then you can say with full confidence and accuracy that you are a hunter) is just plain easier to say. When in a situation between people who have a mutually understood context, it is common for people to circumvent proper syntax because further clarification is unecessary. Example: (asked of a Destiny fireteam member) "What are you?" "Well there are several ways to define what I am. By species, I am a human. By trade, I am an accountant. I'm also a father and husband." "No I mean what do you play?" "Oh, I'm sorry I didn't know what specific context you were referring to. I play Destiny, GTA 5, The Witcher 3, Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit, Angry Birds...' "That's not what I meant." "Oh I see... well, I play piano." And so on and so forth. That just seems silly now. When we are logged in to Destiny, or on a Destiny forum, we share a mutually understood context. The context is a fantasy space magic video game. So when someone says "What are you?" the answer is given within that context based on assumptions about what the most pertinent answer is in a given situation.
