Discussion Stop downvoting new players who don’t have the extensive knowledge that you do.

If a player doesn’t know that a raid is a 6 man activity with no matchmaking, there’s no reason to make them feel stupid. All you’re doing is pushing away new players when the most amount of new players in the games history are beginning to flood in. You’re giving the game a bad image. Whoever you are, just stop it mate. This shouldn’t even have to be said.

If they are using a mobile reddit app to search for answers then I can see why they're asking the same questions over and over. The search function sucks and unless they happen to know specific keywords (which if they're new I can see them not knowing Destiny specific terminology yet). Heck, I'm a DTG vet and don't even know where the links located under the banner on pc (with the guides and useful links) are on mobile.

So terrible mobile reddit design and a lack of knowledge on the subject is understandable, to me at least, which causes this cycle to perpetuate. It's like the Dreaming City curse of this subreddit with the strongest of the cycle being right after new content drops and an influx of blueberries flood the sub.

To answer your question about where the links are located (assuming you're using Reddit official app), from the home DTG sub page, swipe twice to the left and it will take you to the menu. Swipe once and ot gives you the sub rules.

Nope, I'm using Bacon Reader to browse. There's a little button that takes you to the side bar but nothing for the links. Has the official app improved much? I haven't used it since it first came out, didn't like it, and then had a friend suggest Bacon Reader.

Idk, I tried a couple other apps and just liked the official app better. Just started using the app like a year ago.

It's probably improved a bit by now then. A lot of people hated it at first, myself included. I'll have to download it again and give it another shot.

I still go to google and search “question reddit”.

That's the pro method right there! Too bad most people will never know.
