Lil'Blue is getting his own Xbox One tomorrow for Christmas. His light level isn't that high, so I've been grinding on his profile to get him up to raiding level before next week so we can raid together.
The concept of a parent playing a game for their kid like you've described is so incredibly foreign to me that I'm having trouble wrapping my head around it... and you're not the first or even second instance I've heard of someone doing this.
Is it just a result of there being only so many xboxes in the house, or do you actually have that much more free time than him?
Only one Xbox One. I have a couple of 360s but we can't do much with Destiny on those now. We haven't played Destiny together since the first couple of months after Destiny came out.
This is the only time I have played for him. I know I have failed to teach him the correct way to play Destiny because he only plays what he wants when he wants and never worried about light level, so he's been stuck around 350. He has asked many times when he would every get to raid with me and my buddies. His Christmas gift is to get to raid.
He plays about the same amount of time as me, but he spreads it out over more games. He plays Minecraft with his sister and their friends way more than Destiny. Plus I'm off work for Christmas and I'm bored. I'm waiting on some parts to finish my CNC and I need things to keep me occupied.
