Yesterday I played through the Vault of Glass fully for the first time.
It was great to see the beautiful design of it, but the problem was the people I was with.
For starters, it was a bunch of younger dudes who have a mouth on them xD
This guy was so proud to tell us how his lvl 30 has done the raid 100 times and that his own vault is filled with Legendaries and Exotics.
At first I was impressed, but once we got to the Templar... everything changed.
This was no longer the raid I played the first time, and died multiple times trying to do it legit.
No.
Instead, we had this lvl 30 telling me that "Hunter's are useless in the VoG". To which I asked why (considering we had a lvl 29 Hunter with us and I myself play as a Hunter), and he merely responded because they are.
Now it was only when we got to the Templar that I realised why I wasn't enjoying this.
The players were more concerned with glitching the Templar and Atheon, pushing them off the edge with their EPIC WARLOCK GRENADES, while me and another player sat in a corner, feeling goddamn useless. It sucked.
The whole point of a raid is to come together as a team and devise strategies to defeat the obstacles in front of you. I hardly felt like I even did anything in the raid, as these guys carried on talking about their "Amazing skills at pushing Atheon".
So, I sat in Atheons lair, literally hiding behind a -blam!-ing pillar while this dude compalined that Atheon was not going in the right spot.
I hadn't even shot a single shot at him, I hardly even knew what I was doing because this group were so focused on glitching him out.
I'm now on the Hard mode of the raid, but I don't dare go for it with another bunch of randoms for fear of sitting in a corner once more, listening to try hards as they talk about their 1000000 Exotics and Legendaries.
In conclusion, people are more concerned with glitching a raid and gaining loot, than actually finishing it legit.
[b]What is the point of glitching to get gear, when the gear is used for the Raid anyway? If you want play a dress up sim, go ahead and google a shitty flash game.[/b]

Edited by Caru93: 10/26/2014 6:14:37 PMHunters, in general, are the weakest for the raid. That's not to say they're useless, though. Warlocks and Titans both have support-style supers that bring more to the team than hunters do. That said, I do somewhat understand if people want to glitch the Templar off the edge with grenades. It's not only faster, but does also give you an extra chest easily - normal or hard. I hardly see the point in glitching Atheon off on normal, it's extremely easy to just do that legit. I do, however, understand wanting to do it on hard. I've had a full team of 30's, myself being the only 29, and still spending 3 hours on the gatekeeper + atheon legit. Most people want to get the loot the easiest way possible, because doing it the hard way is time spent. Time spent doing something that's nearly impossible to do without that loot to begin with(something that's 100% up to RNG). I've done both normal and hard legit; I've met the challenge; I've spent the time. After completing it god knows how many times, I'm a bit tired of spending hours on end getting 5 time breakers, 5 of the same raid helmet, 4 VoG ships, 3 visions of confluence, 3 found verdicts, 2 corrective measures. Not one Atheon's epilogue. No Fatebringer. No Vexmythoclast. Only one pair of raid gloves. I get the same items I already have, constantly. I have more shards and energy than I can even imagine what to do with right now. I'm a little disappointed each time I don't get something I'm still trying to get, sure. But I'm not that bothered by it. I'm used to getting boned by RNGesus(in this game and others). You may not like the idea of glitching him off, and that's fine. But not everyone enjoys having to go to a third-party website to try and scrounge up whatever unorganized, impatient people you can find. Don't get me wrong, I've met some of the coolest people this way, but I've also had my absolutely most infuriating experiences on Destiny this way as well. IF there were matchmaking, at least it'd be fairly quick to find people. Or even a way to show that you're looking for a raid group in the tower would be nice, so you can check people out before you invite them. If I'm with random people, I'd rather just get it done as quick and easily as possible. I'd rather get it done, instead of spending 2 hours attempting to finish the Templar or Atheon fight legit, and then having some Dunning-Kruger ragequit. It'll be patched soon, though. So it's not even worth raging about. If you want to do it legit, just look for a group all on that same page. Explicitly say you don't want to glitch/cheese. Complaining about it is pointless and just makes you look like a fool, honestly. Everyone has their own priorities, and they may not be shared by yourself. That's life.
