I just want to thank you. There are a lot of people that have the skills and time to do the hard mode raid, but not many that will then take the time to invite complete strangers into their fireteams and possibly give away Exotic weapons to people who never earned them. And in this case, I mean that word... because it applies to me too. Tonight I got a Hawkmoon that I did nothing whatsoever for except press a button. I didn't defeat a single Harpy or Praetorian. I just jumped some cliffs and pushed the button and then I danced.
A lot of people on this forum would get butthurt over the idea of "giving away" weapons to the undeserving. But I'm glad that there are people like you who are generous with your time and effort. I will pay it forward if I ever have the chance. I already try to help people through whatever I can to get them the coins, shards, nightfall rewards, whatever they need help with, but mine is on a tiny scale compared to you helping the entire community.
So... Thanks again. You are the best, and I don't know why you do it... but at least I can give you my appreciation.
Special shout-out to SYale2010, and thanks again for the Hawkmoon-producing chest!
EDIT: And a community thanks to all those who send invites to be "in on the kill" and potentially get a reward without going through the hour or so of raid prior to that. You're also great Guardians, and you make me proud of our community.
To those who say this is rewarding "scrubs": guess what- every Exotic put into a player's hands increases the capability of a Guardian somewhere, and makes him or her a more effective member of the team- so it's in EVERYBODY'S interests to get those good guns out there and into action. Today's "scrub" (Oh, how I hate that word you use) is tomorrow's fireteam leader. You started somewhere, too, and don't forget it.
EDIT 2: SUNDAY MORNING 9:19 EST
MrWahblah on PS4 is hosting one right now, see his post
https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/99659255/0/0
which I am bumping up here at his request so it doesn't get buried. Please note that you can only get the chest once per week, so for people like me it is just a visit to the "jumping route" for the Gorgon cave. While I was there, someone got Red Death and I thought I saw a Last Word but I am not sure.
EDIT 3:
I'm delighted to see the number of people posting their thanks to the generous Raiders in our community, and I was told personally (over chat on PSN) that my post produced at least one player who decided to share his checkpoint and see what people would get from the chest. Thanks again. After all the bitching about Xur and heavy ammo, I needed this reminder of why I come to the forum. There are a ton of good people here, you're just quiet.
I'm gonna go practice with the Hawkmoon now.

Anyone have the exotic chest on 360 plz :)
-

Edited by MRWahblah: 2/8/2015 1:50:10 PMDoing it now (ps4) https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/99659255/0/0

Can anybody hook me up with a deathsinger cp on hard? Xb1, gt adapt2die
-
I did this last week, gave the checkpoint to over 100 people and when i seen people getting exotics, it did make me feel happy for giving them that chance Keep up the good work everyone
-
I do this if I solo a weekly, it just feels better to see more loot drop from the boss. The rng system can be unforgiving in this game, it's just decent to let people get rolls on things that they may not have time/a group to get them with on their own.
-
It's the right thing to do!
-
You're welcome. =) Btw, I still have the checkpoint on my warlock.
-
Fo sho bro, il be hosting in about an hour or so
-
This. My group runs Crota much more than VoG, so having people offer the gorgon maze chest at least lets me hop in for some of the rewards. Big thanks to @chris_mk4 who brought me into the chest for the first time. Will keep monitoring the forums each week for ps4 gorgon chests (have yet to get it this week), and if I do run vog hard I'll try to pay it forward :)
-
I have gorgon checkpoint. If anyone wants it send me a message.
-
+1, it's damn nice of them to do
-
I have the exotic gorgon maze chest, if anyone wants it on 360. Does not make me a scrub for helping people. That would be like calling someone who helps a homeless person a vagabond. People who say people who help other are scrubs, are -blam!-ing retarded.
-
So, let me get this straight. We got scrubs thanking scrubs? Cool.
-
I was gonna say this same thing. I went on with SYale2010 as well, and was given a Thunderlord. Really cool that people take time out of their lives to help others have the chance to get something cool in game.
-
i've love a chance at the hard mode chest add me Lost_Senile on ps4
-
Looking for the exotic chest on VOG hard. The chest that you when you stop the Templar teleporting. I'm on PS4 my Psn is - Dannygray69 I'll be on in a few hours
-
...now just do it for the 360 and I will be happy
-
-
Bump thanks a ton guys
-
I haven't got anything but shards out of that chest for a month at least hah :(
