One of the coolest things to come out of Destiny’s raid community are a group of special raiders known as Sherpas. A Destiny Sherpa is an experienced raider who actively looks to take less experienced players through raids in an effort to teach them all the tricks and guide them to the finish. These altruistic raid gurus even have a sub reddit set up where the Sherpas set up “cards” that explain their strengths, weakness, and any other details you may need to know about your new potential guide. And these guys take their jobs very seriously to the point where some Sherpa cards look cleaner than most resumes you might see. With all the work these guys put into teaching and working with new players, it seems only right to reward their efforts with extra bonuses.

If a raid group consists of players who are new to the raid, it’s standard logic that the group is likely going to have a tougher time or take longer to complete the raid. In order to be rewarded for their work, it only makes sense to reward groups that help players clear for the first time. It could be simple things like adding a special chest to bosses for experienced players who help new ones.  But the point stands that players who give up their time to help should be recognized and honored. Many other MMOs and MMO-like games, most notably Final Fantasy XIV, already use a system that rewards players that group with first-timers. Not only has this helped ease newcomers into content, but it also creates a healthy, more welcoming community for the game which is something that can help Destiny 2 hit the ground running in terms of a forming a strong and stable community.
