What does that even mean?

And yea according to the rarest achievement thing, only 5.4% of the people playing have the Wrath of the Machine achievement which seems a little low.

He was telling me about his business: account recoveries. Playing as other people on their accounts.

$115 for a raid. All challenges.

$35 lighthoust run.

Apparently people pay this.

I think it's actually 5.4% of the people who have ever played Destiny since it first released

Like only 14% have finished the story stuff for RoI so probably only like 15-20% of the people who have ever bought Destiny bought RoI in the first place ...

Only ~20% have ever fully upgraded a legendary weapon...

Basically a lot of people have bought Destiny and barely played it, and the active userbase who stuck it out for all the expansions over 3 years is like 20% of the total sales.

Wolves of Destiny, Sherpas of Destiny, etc. I don't even look at Elo anymore on DTR, I look at this week's K/D because, if you're in the latter half of he card, if it's not an obvious carry it's likely a recovery.

Yep. A good buddy of mine bought it thinking it was something like Halo but never even ran a strike. Just played through some of the vanilla campaign on his own and eventually got bored.

The real fun stuff is the pvp numbers

Only like 30% of the people who have played destiny ever got to rank 1 in pvp

That's a lot of people who never been touched that whole part of the game.
