What has your experience been? There seems to be a split in the community, with some players complaining that there is a very large snobbish “Elitist” group within Destiny (not a specific group but in general) who block the way for other guardians with less than perfect stats or who are “noobs” trying to learn the raids or get into Trials. The claim is that this group is the larger group and that the community of Destiny is overall extremely toxic.
Conversely, there is another group of players who claim their experience within Destiny has been the opposite: mostly positive. They claim although they have run into toxic players on occasion, it is easy enough to avoid or leave them for the most part, and find other much friendlier Guardians for help. They claim there are a lot of friendly Guardian groups out there from all different backgrounds and skill levels willing to help less knowledgeable Guardians acquire the skills, gear, or knowledge they need to participate in endgame activities such as Trials and raids.
My personal 6 year journey within Destiny has been experienced as overall friendly and non-toxic. I love the Guardians of Destiny, and I have met some of the best and most amazingly skilled players ever here. Please let me know what you think!

It's a tale of two worlds. In game, friendly. In these forums ... well, get your rabies shot. I remember that mission where I fought the mad bomber, and had to defuse that first mine. Suddenly everyone on the map stopped and ran over to kick the crap out of the Scorn. Later on, I had to go out there for a public event, and saw someone else on that mission -- all of us ran over and kicked the crap out of the Scorn. There's apparently a willingness to help random strangers out. But then, I come here? There are bright spots, but there's at least one major bunghole -- I can't 'shame' someone for doing things that are wrong, of course, so I can't 'name' someone with a screen name much like a famous child star from the old days who later became a US ambassador -- anyway, there's one major bunghole I've seen here who does nothing but the Seagull maneuver: flies in, craps all over everything, flies away. Meanwhile, there was this funny, if somewhat bathroom humor type thread that got censored--all while this little creep is free to turn the entire forum into their personal toilet bowl. So I'm not quite sure where priorities lie. [i]Go ahead and try, buddy, I'm sitting here like a crocodile.[/i]
