Non-raiders often seem unable to "get" raiding (Destiny)

For me, I don’t see why it’s any different from joining a ultimate frisbee league or any other hobby that is organized around other people.

It's not any different (except the inside/outside, exercise vs. sitting part). However, there are plenty of people that would never join an ultimate frisbee league. And, there are also a lot of people that would join an ultimate frisbee league, but then are...poor at interacting in an expected social way.

Bungie games have a way of throwing these different types people together, and the results have certainly been interesting. For people who play games as an escape from their social difficulties, Raiding is bringing those right back into the game for them. It would be awesome if those people used that as a stepping stone towards expanding their horizons, but it can be a lot to ask.

Very insightful, squid. It's helpful to remember that being social (in any context) isn't as natural for some as it is for others.
