Why do the residents of "The Last City" dislike the Guardians so much?
Due to the lore, I've found an interesting topic surfaced by theory. A theory that the "true Humans" do not respect, support, nor accept the Guardians as their protectors.
Update: I forgot to include that there are some forms of Information referring to Guardians such as Saint - 14, whom was actually much respected and loved by the people of The Last City, but due to his obsession with the downing of the Fallen through a long crusade, he is no longer commonly mentioned, but only as a legend now.
Nevertheless, we've gotten some pretty good feedback regarding as to why. Maybe the "living Humans" see us as something tyrannical?

Can you provide the cards that say this as i have not heard of this anywhere

I think that maybe the reason we are hated amongst the city is kind of something Admiral Sabree said, we are to prtect the Light and the City, and it is just coincidental that we are protecting the City. We, as Guardians, have to protect the City considering that it is the first line of defense against the traveler, and that the City was strategically placed UNDER the Traveler, in order to kind of 'force' the Guardians to protect them. Also, a nic,e little Grimoire card I found helps me back up another theory: The Guardians are death. As said in the Grimoire card when the Guardian is talking to a Ghost "You are a dead thing made by a dead power." What if they moreover FEAR the Guardians because they are said 'dead power', I mean, we got references that the Traveler is just 'dormant', but we got far more that he is actually dead. That me made Ghosts to protect his embodiment and finish what he started with his last breath. There is another theory that Guardians are actual Darkness. The theory bases its foundation on that Grimoire card, in the sense that Darkness is related to Death in some way shape or form. Another supporting part of the game is a video clip of a Dreg saying "Darkness" over and over as the player assaulted the poor Dreg. This caused an outcry from Year 1, as people started piecing the puzzle together. Guardians are DEAD, and maybe Darkness is a Universal word? I mean, even if it isn't, Variks, the Loyal, can speak English so why can't another Fallen? The point is, Guardians are what they fight-Darkness. If you want more to THIS specific theory, check out Matpat's channel, Gametheorists. He has a whole video dedicated to this theory to those who seek knowledge.

Cause bodies keep falling through the roof of their homes. #stopguardiansuicide

Scared of the unknown

The traveler is evil, but crippled, therefore guardians are evil but unaware atm. We will down the traveler one day, I promise.

2 RepliesWe were created in the game to protect the traveler. Not the city. They know that our protection is superficial because the traveler is stuck were it is. They built the city under it so that we would also be protecting thwm.

Jealousy

how would you feel if you had a bunch of free roaming yet subjugated zombies patrolling your city walls. [spoiler]the subjugated are the players under the rule of bungies lies.[/spoiler]

2 RepliesYour doing whatever you do daily, and you look up at that huge, expensive tower, and see the bodies of immortal asshole zombies jumping off for fun, and the crator that insued you now have to fill

Well we're zombies. Who'd want zombies as their protectors? It's more likely they're our food source........O great now I won't be looking at destiny the same way anymore lol Guardian wants braiiiinnnnzzzzz
-
The guardians are animated undead that dress like the monsters trying to kill the humans. The armor from the raids make the guardians look like Hive monsters.
-
Probably because we keep raining our corpses onto the town below.

OP is Trinity Star member confirmed.

We're zombie warriors is that not worrisome?
-
I've never seen that in the lore. However, if there was a reason for it, I assume it would be from the animal part of the brain. You know, the part that tells you someone is watching you?
-
Because we're zombie abominations
-
Where in the grimoire does it say Guardians are disliked?
-
6 RepliesGuardians are somewhat immortal, and they were once dead. That would disturb any regular human being. On top of that, they were also given superhuman abilities and can be brought back from the dead. What's stopping them from creating a tyrannical government?

Theyre penut butter and jellous they cant do space magic.

1 ReplyBecause we whine too much.

Some of the city's civilians see us as angels Others... Don't Who could blame them. We are dead things, made in the shape of the dead, with that of a dead power. All we will ever do is kill. We aren't good. We protect what we want and kill as we must. This happens to adversely protect humanity at some points. There are some like saint-14 who were friendly. Protected our final safe guard. Others like Dredgen. Who stole/were stolen by darkness due to their weakness. And others like Toland. Who only wished to comprehend our enemies. So that we could become more ruthless, and survive. Sometimes admonishing, only for their words to be feared.

they are tired of cleaning up our bodies at the bottom if the tower.
-
I heard NPCs in the tower mention that some people don't think guardians even exist.
-
I saw no reference of any of it in the game, or even light hints towards it. Normal people in the tower walk and interact freely. Most of them don't even appear to have a job vital to tower function, so who knows, maybe they just motivated enough one day to climb the stairs. Bet the rest of the city is mad because the elevator is out, since there's real mention of city citizens not liking the people in the tower, let alone any kind of motivation as to why they would feel that way. It's not like they used the Hammer of Dawn or anything. [spoiler]Be careful with the flashcards. They can lead you down paths that never existed.[/spoiler]

8 RepliesNah. It's all the purple balls that keep getting kicked onto their roofs.
