Elitists getting bored with Destiny. Try this..
After wading through the overwhelming number of threads concerning elitist 319's and lower levels being excluded from raids I noticed two primary arguments; one for each side.
A. Players near the levelcap should help lower levels through raids.
B. Lower levelled players shouldn't rely on higher levelled players to carry them.
After pondering this for a while, an idea dawned on me.. A compromise. Something I like to call:
[b]Surprise Weakest Link[/b]
The concept is simple. Invite 4 or 5 underlevelled players into a raid. Play through the raid as per usual, but at each checkpoint boot the weakest member of the team, and invite an experienced "stooge" player to replace them. No warning, no informing them of the rules beforehand, just *boot* "Back to orbit you go". Better luck next time scrub.
How you define "weakest" is up to you. First to die, most deaths, whatever. Worthy players get the loot, cancerous leeches get the boot.
No one but the "carrier" players should be aware this twisted contest is happening. The booted players never receive an explanation, and the lone survivor never knows he won.
I tested this just over an hour ago with an LFG team and was pretty happy with how it played out. The last surviving member received a 320 Helmet and scout rifle .He later mentioned that it was his first raid, what a champion!
Feel like adding a new slant? Add a bit of Destiny RNG and boot a member at random.
To those of you that fancy giving this a go, be sure to let us know how it plays out.

1 ReplyIf someone did this, I really hope they don't go by light level. Because some lower light levels are better then higher level lighters.

5 RepliesI really thought that this post would be cancer at first but I think that it's actually genius. Fight to survive. Get good to win.

You know at first I thought you were being a rude dude but the more I thought about it the more I like it. It's like a little competition/lottery where people who normally wouldn't be able to do the raid have a chance to learn about it and if they're good enough receive a top level weapon. Sure the rest of the guys don't get any weapons or armor but they get something much more important, experience. Lol.

Lol normally I would call you an asshole, but I laughed way too hard.
-
Ahaha that would be so funny.
-
Really want to try it tbh
-
Thats horrible, sick and twisted! I like you

1 ReplyWhat an ass move. Instead of teaching someone we will just boot them without warning because they haven't picked it up as quickly as contestant number 5! Genius!
-
2 RepliesOR.... How about at each checkpoint we kick the biggest fùckwit on the team? You wouldnt even make it to the jumping puzzle buddy.

1 ReplyThis is OP's second thread in a row, that I have read tonight, where he attempts to be a complete a-hole in order to try to get attention. Solution: just mute, and carry on.
-
Really?
-
2 RepliesNo thanks, I prefer to play with people around the same Grimoire as me or with friends, if they are not close to my Grimoire then they get the boot. Also lots of people don't like joining in the middle of the raid this will just make your raid last 5 hours when it's supposed to take 50mins or less

6 RepliesEdited by Synergy-Seven: 1/11/2016 5:34:29 AMI did this a while back we call The [b]Blind Leading The Blind[/b] (HM Challenge Mode Oryx Edition) Advertise an LFG post for CM Oryx (5 experienced carriers LF1M), but instead, just add 5 newbies around sub-310 level. Then explian that you're on the wrong character. Leave the group once you're in King's Fall and recruit the 6th newbie to join on one of the other newbies in the group...try and listen in party chat for extra lols. There's always one confident newbie who takes charge unknowingly as the rest are lead into oblivion, after a few wipes, turns into a finger-pointing blamefest of a mexican standoff on who are the experienced carriers.

People still do that boring ass raid?
-
Wow that's just outright rude. So many circumstances could lead to being first to die or most deaths. Some people actually have lives and have responsibilities that they can't completely drop so they can be an elitist in a video game. Do you really find that enjoyable.

This post's replies is how you can find all of the destiny players playing on xbox.

Law of the jungle baby....

Oh no, it is retarded.

Seems dicky, you have a bad sense of fun.

3 RepliesQuick question: Do I have to be wearing pants while doing this?

4 RepliesThis is the King of asshole moves. It's a perfect way to keep our raid numbers from growing and inspire more hatred for the community in general. Way to go. I can understand wanting to blow off some steam and fvck around a bit, but booting kinderguardians without even an explanation is below you man. You're better than that

I'm bored but I'm not the biggest destiny player. Only did raid 1 and a half times. Not big fan of trials. And only get to 315 light. Regardless i thought just for fun is just hep people with missions like fears embrace or something since I do have decent light. Interestingly I got on LFG on the weekend and at the times I was playing there seemed the very few posts looking for anything I mean like 5. There used to be like 40. Don't know what that's all about

1 ReplyIf you're bored just play as sunsinger in pvp mayhem and run double solar grenades and just keep spamming them during radiance. Set the world on fire. Fun for 3-4 games, then... [i]shrugs shoulders[/i]

3 RepliesEdited by raj: 1/11/2016 7:11:12 AMJust sounds like a gigantic waste of time. But you're already playing Destiny so I guess you and you're type are pretty easily amused. Whatever floats your boat simpleton.

Idea is actually good. Maybe one day this could be a game type to inspire gamers to try harder in raids but would take some more thought. This is gonna sound stupid what I say but here me out. Raids now have matchmaking. Somehow make mic required. Game finds players at simmaler level Game starts If you die too much, during a part of the raid when you hit a checkpoint you get kicked more variables would be needed to pick out the players that stay and the players that get kicked Say a person goes down 4 times in a checkpoint compared to team mates that didn't go down or did once, and gets a drastic number less kills roughly then team mates. Booted and the game finds a new player that has the same checkpoint and the variables that kick you will restart at the start of the new checkpoint. To make it fair you get to keep the checkpoint you get kicked at so you can try to find another game and improve on your skills. It will make players try to be more carful, think before they act and try harder to kill more enemies without dying. This would obviously need some thought but it would be a cool way to play. More of a gamble and would make you actually try harder to complete a raid without getting kicked. I guess a player getting the checkpoint they get kicked at ruins the purpose.. So maybe getting the checkpoint before that so you move back a step in the raid and don't get the rewards for completing where you start off again. Idk, but in a way it does sound kinda fun
