Are Destiny 2 players (LFG) stupid?

[Badger]

Why are people still asking you to infuse your stuff when it literally shows the adjusted power for the entire fireteam, it's absurd.

Worst thing yet is people coming up with some conspiracy theories such as "oh, your REAL gear power" is better than the power adjusted even when they're literally the same value, because reasons?

I mean, you should infuse and level up your light level.

Adjusted power is always lower than your power leader. Don't be that guy.

They aren't slow, the community is just horrible. I can partly understand it because bungo made the game overly difficult and people are trying to farm/clear but also... People don't know what fun is in this game and instead treat it like a job, not much of a game at that point if you ask me.

It's not fun zoning into GM Excision and then hearing "Guardian Down. Guardian Down. Guardian Down. Guardian Down.".

Well, it's not fun for the people that aren't "Guardian down", since we're now stuck hard farming champions to get peeps back up.

Also, did you just say Infusing gear was difficult ? I have to question what you think of actually getting 100 Resilience and 100 of another good stat then.

Not infusing your gear shows a lack of commitment or care, its like showing up to white collar job in sweat pants.

This is like the "the X says "what" ?" thing. I mention the gatekeeper parasites, and one appears, feeling slighted because they know they are the ones being referenced. Doesn't help that you are projecting either, and thank you for the points, I won't waste them.

Dude, if you don't do the very basic and easy bit of gameplay that's infusing your gear to higher light level, it's not gatekeeping to refuse to group with you.

Don't be a leech on other people's effort.

unfortunate there is no insentivise anymore. why should you do it, if your powerlevel get increased enough? That is a issue for player who wants to ppl learn the basics. But it helps ppl with low time to spend to play with friends some activities like raids.

in Generell it doesnt matter if you infuse in an activity where one of the ppl have enough light level to increase your own to the power limit. In contrary if you want to play highend activites you have to increase your own power level.

As exampel the Grandmaster Excision Activity will hurt you right now very hard. even 5 light leveels can be the differences between getting oneshotted or surviving an Attack.


And with the point there, tzhat infusing is way more easy than ever.. i dont get why ppl have problems to infuse...

And that's exactly the problem. People don't want "enough" everyone should be putting in as much effort as they can. People shouldn't be the kid that doesn't help on the school project and just slides by doing nothing.

As for incentive... Adjusted power level is -5 so if someone can be at level instead of -5 then they should be

but if someone is +5 levels then you will get adjusted to the needed level. So why doing it? I Mean im powering up as far as i can (2009) but i can understand the ppl that wont do.- They dont need and most of the time they wont eben do grandmaster stuff.

There is no incentive anymore. Its good for the low hours players and totally uninteressting for the active players.

And yes. Its uninteressting. As long as they know how to should and how to not die, you can teach them mechanics on encounters.

You're literally just making excuses, go to banshee, grab some upgrade modules, and infuse like everyone else. If anything think of it as a measuring contest, the bigger person is probably going to be picked and if you can make yourself appear bigger then there is no reason not to.

As I said many times, it is about appearance. If you can't be bothered to do something as simple as infuse gear then that shows you don't care and aren't full committed and they'll want to teach someone who wants to be there to try their best.

now im sure that you didnt read my first post.

"And with the point there, tzhat infusing is way more easy than ever.. i dont get why ppl have problems to infuse..."

i make no excuses. I state pretty obvious facts.

I can tell you one thing: if you only look at the powerlevel you are pretty bad. I rather take someone with good gear but -5 powerlevel than someone with +10 powerlevel and bad gear.

So.. what is your point? what makes the ones that doesnt powerlevel up like others to bad people? Tell me one logical reason.

Not sure about that specific stuff, but the post title is a bit ironic. Destiny lfg has a lot of potatoes, a significant portion of people in general are potatoes.

So you look to filter potatoes, whats the easiest way to do so in D2 lfg?

-Light level (Pretty low? Not a great sign).
-10-30 resilience? Not great.
-Lack of build/no weapons for champions? Not a great sign.

While not 100% accurate, people use these to try and lower their chances of noobs/bad players.

And you're not reading what I said, it is about appearance. If you're at Walmart a world class surgeon could be right next to you and you wouldn't even believe it because they're in sweat pants at Walmart. If you want the part then look the part, put the same basic effort everyone else is putting in.

What. that makes no sense.

Bungie added shared light level to make infusing your gear on alts less cumbersome so you didn't have to relevel again. But you still need to infuse your gear, not forever be 5 under the leader that's probably also under the cap for the activity to begin with.

Contribute to your fullest as you can. That includes infusing your gear.

If someone is sub 1960, that tells me they didn't even do the campaign on Legendary.

Meaning probably not a good idea to invite to your group.
