I mean it personally feels like they are a book series fandom who spend more time on Youtube, and Ishtar Collective than playing the actual game. Like they rather read Destiny lore stuff than play the game for what it is?
The atmosphere in the D2 lore community reminds of a tween series book fandom... where there is seemingly more fanfiction than legit lore discussion.
[spoiler]Btw it reminds of FitMc's fans being a majority who never played 2b2t before who listen to his bias stories meant to excite, while people who do play 2b2t hate FitMc for making the game virtually unplayable.[/spoiler]

Do you?

Edited by Timewaster504: 8/14/2019 5:26:16 PMYes we play, there are 2 communities here, fanfic, and the people who are actually into lore I don’t hate fanfics, they were forced here when their sub forum was purged, as long as they make it clear in the title, I’m fine
-
You’re the one who doesn’t.
-
Yes. [Don't look at my game history.] I just don't play Raids because they are inaccessible to me.

I’ve played enough destiny to earn the Recluse, Luna’s Howl, All the Vanguard pinnacle weapons, Breakneck, and 21% delirium, and I’m only missing one Corrupted egg from Last Wish to get Chronicler. I also have the full set of legendary Solstice armor on my Titan, and I’ve masterworked every single peice except for the gauntlets. Does that answer your question my good sir?
-
The lore community doesn’t like the fanfics either.

<Enough to have regular dreams about it bro>

Wow someone's a bit of an ass today!

Yes, some of use play Destiny frequently. It all depends. I could have my head in the lore for a solid hour or I could be playing the game for multiple hours still appreciating the lore that I see in game. I know a lot of people, at least those that post things with #lore, enjoy the fanfic. I myself do not really enjoy fanfic because it is relevant to the actual game/story. You might just be seeing those who consistently post their fanfics and think there is an abundant amount of them when it really is simply a few people that actually right fanfic. Also try and remember for every person that posts there is probably two silent readers. And there are a lot of people that ask questions about the lore and people do enjoy simply answering the questions as best as they can. There is also a lot of lore discussions here it just that most of it is about theorizing on vague lore or just geeking out about a cool story in the lore. There is no real answer to your question obviously, but I hope I gave you some more information to chew on.

As someone who often makes theories and read tons of lore I can confirm I spend a sad amount of time playing Destiny. Something I wish I posted that I never got around to was seeing how a guardian profit is based off of bounties and sparrow racing from D1 due to a lore tab for the Hecuba sparrow where Enoch Bast talks about how he makes glimmer doing bounties which don’t even amount to sparrow racing 1st place. So basically I sat their completing sparrow races galore with randoms in a multitude of forms to test if doing sparrow racing was more profitable then turning in bounties and just doing patrols.
