Everyone knows that a few can ruin something for the many; sometimes its symbols, short mustaches, or names. I think "clan" has been lost and we should make it official. There is only one clan and no one wants to be associated with them. I doubt Bungie will do a wholesale reversal on the Destiny 2 clans, but it would be appreciated. Billy cringes every time I suggest we have a clan meeting to talk about the raid. We, the Destiny Community, have an obligation to come up with a new unofficial name for these groups and I don’t think we can do worse than "clan". What about society or outfit?
Speaking of...guilds...societies...friends list...I am really enjoying them in D2; the bonuses and private chat groups are a really nice addition. Playing D1 I would never jump on Reddit and request strangers to help with something. It just felt weird to put myself out there for shitty people to bitch about what I wanted or why I couldn’t do it myself. Even though I don’t personally know all the...group...members I don’t have the same hesitation.

Something From Billy:
I really do hate the term clan for this sort of thing. Maybe if you didn't grow up in The South you don't have the association but It's all I can think of when I hear it. When Curt told me he was making a comic about the subject it made me nervous because it's one of those jokes you have to nail, it can't be something where someone looks at it and wonders what side of the subject you come down on. When I saw the comic I thought he did a great job and it spoke to me on another level. Sometimes gaming culture feels a lot like this comic, you go into a multiplayer game expecting to meet a reasonable person only to realize you've come into contact with a monster. We have a culture problem in gaming and we all need to work together to make it clear what is ok and what isn't.If you want to join a guild that may have plenty of well meaning assholes, but no monsters; hit us up on X-box for an invite at 8-Bit Heroes. We are an easy group to get along with.
