Type 1: The Crybaby.
"Nerf this gun because it gave me a booboo once! If you don't play destiny EXACTLY the way I do then you're a scrub! IB 30s are FAKES! No one likes level 29s! Bungie sucks! Deej sucks! 29s suck! You all suck! Why are you all trolling on me, I'm perfect! How do you push Atheon off, I can't cheat anymore! You're all Xurners! I love call of duty! I EARNED all my stuff, even though my parents bought the game for me! I'm quitting this game even though I still go on the forums! Crucible sucks because im not the best in the world! Nerf! NEEERF! WAAAAAH!"
Type 2: The Clueless.
"Hey guys? When does Xur arrive? How do you wave and dance? Why can't I get hawkmoon on Xbox? Where's the raid? Why did Cortana get a sex change? How do you do the raid? How do you win the raid? Whats OLD Russia, is there a new Russia?What class do I have to be to get sunsinger? What are shaders? What are colours? What is life?
Type 3: The Real Deal.
These kinds of forum users write constructive criticism to Bungie. They are regular attenders of the forums, and they relish and take delight in reading stupid people's threads. They try their best to post a response to anything enticing they see, and enjoy discussing topics with each other, such as how great/annoying the community can be. They have great fun in the game, and they write down posts detailing the 6 kinds of destiny forum users. (See what I did there? ;p)
Type 4: The Lurkers.
These guys are usually the silent type. They rarely respond to posts they see, but read nonetheless. However, when they do open their mouths, it is usually for the greater good and support. These guys are often mlg pros at the game, but rarely brag about their skills or experience.
Type 5: The trolls.
Now, these users take full delight in other people's suffering on the forums. Regularly using the term "scrub", they create inflammatory topic posts, and always respond in a way that says "you're worthless to me". They often analyse people's profiles as a means to support their arguments, if they find anything worth deriding.
Type 6: The workaholics.
One perfect way to sum these guys up: they're people who are bored at work for the day, and spend their boredom time on the forums. Not really in sync with what usually gets discussed about destiny, because of work often getting in the way. Workaholics also use the fact that they have a true life and commitment as an excuse to explain their slow game progression, and to defend their arguments. May be annoying, but true.
These 6 kinds of users are the ones I keep coming across daily, but they are by no means the only ones on the forums. If you have any of your own theories on a certain forum user type, then by all means, put it down in the comments. I'd love to see them.
Edit 1: Some great forum user types cropping up. Keep them coming!
Edit 2: Holy hell, so many comments! Nice to see all the ideas. At this rate my phone will run out of charge long before I finish reading all of these! XD
Edit 3: HOLY mother of god, we made it onto trending! ...I should have put down the that "always updates their posts'', shouldn't I? Man, I love you guys sometimes. Keep 'em coming!
Edit 4: YESS past the 200 replies mark! Great to see the debating over who is what type. Let's all be honest though: once reading this post, you will never see forum users the same way again.
Edit 5: Some great discussions coming out about other certain types, so I took the liberty to add a few more. Enjoy, and stay awesome!
Edit 6: WOOO passed the 300 replies mark! So, after a general wizz through the topics, most of you guys seem to be anywhere from 3s to 6s. Great to know!
