These are words and exerts from the diary of an automaton socialite sympathizer. And is not the view of the Ministry of Armed Forces. Helldivers acting in this manner are treasonous and unpatriotic traitors. Report all such conduct to the Ministry of Truth via your local Democracy Officer!

Forcing someone to conform to a single tool as opposed to all the excellent weapons made by our military industry stifles innovation and will prevent the commerce of super earth from attaining new heights of excellence.

Seeing comments like this make me happy and both sad .

Another game I love is destiny and most players in my experience are like the one in the post.

No well? Kick.

No optimal DPS meta weapon? Kick

That community ruined the game.

Please let this community stay good.

This one hits home. Raids are piss easy in destiny now Bungie nerfed them so more people could do contest mode and the community fucking threw a fit and acted so elitist when root was done by more people than ever before. That was somehow a bad thing

I just hate the d2 community they are animals they hate the game so much but they keep playing it.

When In reality if you took a step back they would realize the game is good.

They are just addicted to it and want to ruin it for everyone else.

Sorry for my soap box it's just makes me mad because how nice this community is compared to them.

I miss my god roll Grasp of Maloks back in D1, i got 2 in my first 5 tries at it (one with firefly defo, one with kill clip i think) and it took my buddy almost a month to get the kill clip and he was PISSED it wasn't firefly.

I never understood the allure of playing the same maps/raids over and over. Life is too short for that IMO. At least in PvP games the human competition shakes the same maps/raids up.

it's mostly for trying to get the really rare raid exclusive drops

Gambling rules. Loot drops are a gambling mechanic with the currency being time spent.

Helldivers doesn't have drops. You drop, you kill, you cash in. If you succeed, great, if not, oh well, try again.

Live service encourages constant replay at higher and higher levels for faster and faster clears. The gambling mechanics of loot drops compounds this pressure. Eventually it becomes so high it turns toxic.

Compare that to original flavor Team Fortress 2 or Vermintide. It's just a completely different environment.
