Incredibly proud to announce that my brother, who started playing in October, is now a Conqueror.

When he started out, he thought that "Legend" is too hard for him, and that he'll never do a Raid.
Now, he has it all on farm status, and having him in my fireteam is a blast.

His story is incredibly similar to what i commonly see here, on Twitter. He was a "solo" player. He was guildless, only doing activities with matchmaking, interacted only with me, and window shopping for the awesome stuff obtainable in dungeons/raids etc.

He was trying to convince me (or maybe himself) that that's the way he likes it.
But i still decided to give him a little elbow nudge.
I invited him to my clan (fantastic people), and almost immediately took him for a DSC run. Then for a GM run, like the next day.

Him: "Why do i feel so weak"
Me: "Get a better Heavy, for starters. Like Xenophage"
Him: "Where do i get it?"
Me: "Pit of Heresy dungeon"
Him: "Wanna run it with me tomorrow?"

And that was it. From that point on, he rapidly climbed the ladder, and now we ride as equals.

My only tip when it comes to getting someone deeper into Destiny- don't just "run them through" content.
Give them responsibilities.
Give them opportunities for hero moments.
Loot may be sweet, but it's the feeling that they're a vital part of the team is what gets them hooked.
