I would've posted a few screenshots but I deleted the 90+ Nasty Hate messages from iron banner players.
Seriously I was called many rude things that are NOT allowed to be said on the forums... but the Last few caused me to have an emotional Breakdown.... I played Destiny to Get away from my Emotional Problems and to have fun, but they ruined it for me. First the douche-bag 319's.. now a Wide Variety of Anger PVP players.
I was told to kill Myself by FOUR Different -blam!-ing people. for the two days and 5-19 hours that I played (Somewhere in-between )
I'm not Angry, just sad and really disappointed in some of the players of this game.
I've met many nice people, and some really big jerks.

In my experience, destiny players are uniquely toxic. It's not everyone, just some people. They take it as personal offense every time you outgun them. That and the anonymity of the Internet let's these twats say stuff they wouldn't dare say in real life. I know it's really easy for me to say "don't let it get to you," but I'll admit that there's something real damn dark about humanity that just a bit of detachment or distance can cause some of us to act like that, and that is a sobering and disappointing thought. So I think the world needs more sensitive people, not less. That kind of meanness ought to shock us and make us sad. Now if it's giving you emotional problems, that's another thing altogether. Don't risk your happiness for a game. Or at least don't read the messages anymore. No random on the Internet has anything that pressing to tell you. Hope you feel better, OP.
