IMO, most (but not all) of the poll questions fall somewhere in the "shitty" spectrum. Post below both (a) one thing from the poll that doesn't bother you, and (b) what is the worst offense in your opinion.

ALWAYS.

The main thing I gathered from that article is that people let too many things bother them in this game.

Going AFK in the strike playlist is unforgivable, though. Which is why I'm ok with killing them with a sparrow.

I'll switch to Striker in the Vault just to shoulder charge someone off of a ledge, but I'm a bad person.

Please, before you do things like this, try to determine whether they're actually AFK to try to get a free ride. Sometimes people have actual lives. Someone rings the doorbell, a kid cries, you have to take food out of the oven before it catches fire. If someone's sitting in the initial spawn location, just give them the benefit of the doubt. I've had legitimate interruptions come up, only to come back to the game and find that some asshole has reset my "Unstoppable" bounty. Or my controller's walked off the table and broken the USB connector because my teammates thought that shooting my avatar constantly would be amusing.

On the other hand, if they're sitting behind a wall during a boss fight and not contributing, but you can see them looking around... let 'em have it.

Doesn't bother me: Dancing/sitting after a victory.

Worst offense: Paying to get carried through trials. How desperate are you?

I've gone 8-0 with a Mercy in my back pocket twice and still never made it to the lighthouse. I'm not that desperate yet, but I'm getting there. I don't even care about the elemental primary, I just want the Grimoire card :p

Unfortunately no. We were cruising along, got to 8-0 w/ Mercy intact, but then lost a match to a good team on Cauldron (although there we had a good shot at winning). Then we got a match on Burning Shrine against another good team, won the first round, but then dropped 5 in a row. We never quite figured out their strategy. Of course our next match (to get Chewy to 8 wins) was a disorganized team which we quickly won.

Disciple, I guarantee we'll get you there soon.

Old Fire thief told me the same basic story today too. Made it 8-0 then lost out to a team of super snipers. They'd step out and just bam, dead.

Like that one guy in trials we fought against who went 13-0 before I was able to get close enough to FoH his face. That was satisfying.

Dancing/Sitting after a crucible win: Not at all shitty.
Related: Dancing on someone's grave should be reserved for special occasions and naming Myth maps.

Leaving In the middle of a match you are losing: @#$% You.

Most of the rest aren't too big a deal, probably because it's you DBO assholes that do it to me, not some rando :)

Being a jerk to your friends is more forgivable than to complete randos.

Idling through strikes just be punishable by death. If you don't like the Strikes, don't fucking do them, it's not that hard.

The rest are pretty "meh". Dancing and sitting after victories are fine, why else would we have emotes? Dancing on graves is also funny. Teabagging is something you just have to deal with, but it does infuriate me sometimes.

Killing people with Sparrows (or pushing them off ledges, especially in the Tower/Reef) is pretty much always funny.

Teabagging only makes sense in games where there's a corpse. In Destiny, it just looks like they're going down on my Ghost.

I don't even understand why anyone would be offended by someone sitting after an activity has finished. I mean, in what way is that an offensive thing? Aren't you just acknowledging that it's over?

Dancing doesn't seem so bad either, UNLESS you were very clearly trolling in some way during the match. Then the dancing would indicate you were happy about that, rather than just being happy about winning. And being happy about winning is fine - I mean, you should be, right?

I particularly like trolling people during the Omnigul strike, where we are all forced to go through the door "Ghosts were created to open", by blocking that door and sidestepping my Timebreaker whenever they try to jump over me.

Much better than boosting all the way up to Omnigul's room and spawning all the things at once.

It's actually the wall that kills them. Or falling off a cliff.
