Just throwing this out there; if you come into a raid, and you're an avid trials player, it's probably a good idea to not bring your sweaty, shitty attitude with you. Leave that in your 3v3 mode because no one wants to hear your bitching. Especially when you're not actually helping, and in fact are making life harder for everyone. No one gives a damn about your K/D, your ELO, or how many times you went flawless. If you're not there to help and be of any real use, stay in the Crucible section of the directorate and leave us "low light casuals" to enjoy our gaming experience.
Edit: Before anyone checks stats, the very assholes I'm posting about are the reason I don't do Raids. I play them to get the experience, but it's just not worth the salt to have to see one or two people ruin it by being a douche.
Edit 2: Honestly, I was pissed at one dude, and I shouldn't have lumped PvP guys together. But as I've had people here say, there is no reason to act like a dick to people. I've ran the raid a few times, but I don't deal with bullshit from people that are at least 15+ years younger than me. I'm sure we've all dealt with assholes, and all I wanted to do was vent as I'm sure many of you have. Those that came here to publish K/D, raid #'s, you're what's wrong with not only this community, but gaming in general. If you're just roasting, by all means do so, but when you publish someone else's stats in ridicule, you're officially a sweaty douche.

I think the bottom line is that anyone can play this game any way they choose (until Bungie decides they don't like the way you play, but that's a different discussion). The trick is to find the people who share your play styles and goals in this game, and play with them. I really think that's how Bungie intended this experience to be, with how they setup socialization. Some people want all business, clean fast raid runs. Nothing wrong with that. Some people want to good around and he more laid back. Nothing wrong with that. It's getting that mix of people, all with different styles and outlooks on the game, that make LFG a terrible experience. This past weekend for me was no different than average. Ran the raid three times on my different characters. One raid got to aksis after several attempts at the vosik challenge , but failed to complete after several attempts. The next raid I randomly got into an lfg raid that was 100% business and we knocked it all out in about an hour. The third raid took 4 hours but got everything accomplished. I had fun in all three raids. You just gotta find the right people to play with to match your style.
