Trials Lighthouse Sherpas, Good or Bad?

They are good, they help make a person's day and the Sherpa is giving back to the Community.

They are bad, it lets people get flawless handed to them and the Sherpas are taking the fun out of trials.

Alright guys and girls, here is the deal, I have been posting of a few Trials Flawless Sherpa posts. I have a pretty high KD, a good medal score, and have been flawless almost 50 times. This attracted lots of people to reply to me. I told them to all PM me and we could work out details, but after awhile I started getting hate messages from either "Elitists" or people who have tried and failed many times at Flawless. The messages said things like "You're a scrub for doing carries, everyone needs to earn the Lighthouse with people on skill levels as themselves. If they have a 0.6, they play with maybe 0.8s and 0.7s. Stop doing carries, it's ruining trials" Personally I think that everyone should have the chance to see the light of mercury at least once, no matter the skill level of the player. What do you guys think of trials carries? Discuss freely! EDIT - If anyone wants to see mercury send GraffitiDrifter a friend request on Xbox One. I have about 50 lighthouse visits.

  • I dont think lighthouse Sherpas are REALLY helping anyone. i mean, yeah, they're helping the person get to the lighthouse, but its like giving a bum some money v giving them a job. correct me if im wrong, but isnt the IDEA of Trials to prove that you are the best of the best? its COMPETITIVE end-game, and to that extent, there must be losers if there are to be winners. and then theres the whole cheating your oppenents factor. yes, if a single person managed to beat there whole team, then obviously that team didnt deserve to go flawless, but then you are taking someone flawless who deserved it less. see the losing team is at least fighting and trying of each and every one of their own accord, each guardian putting there all into going flawless, and here comes a sherpa, giving out a free ride to someone who gave up on the notion of succeeding and takes an easy offer. morally, lighthouse sherpas cheat not only the carried, but the people they deny on the way up. people like having their accomplishments to mean something, so when someone basically cheats their way to get it too, the accomplishment becomes devalued. if gold = participation, then why would anybody care about gold?
