Sign if you never went Flawless, and don't care!!

As someone who initially started the game as a strictly PvE player during launch, I was surprised when I looked at my gaming time and found that Crucible was now my number 1 activity. I'm still shocked that I have so much fun with PvP when all other FPS PvP games never interested me in the least. That said, I could never stand Trials. Partly because Elimination is just a dull game mode to me due to its relatively slow pace, partly because of the negative culture it created (paid carries, elitist attitudes, etc.), but mostly because it forces most players to play the current meta if you wanted to go all the way which is just boring. I revisited a few times over the years, but if anything its only gotten worse since Y1, and for all those reasons I decided long ago that I wasn't going to bother just for some so-so weapons and armor skins. If they add some variety to the game mode and can balance the PvP meta a bit better I'll give it another go in D2, but I'm not sad in the least to see D1 Trials go. [b]EDIT:[/b] Thanks for the great feedback everyone. To address the general sentiment of "If you're posting, you care." It's OK. You're allowed to like Trials. Just because some of us don't doesn't diminish your achievements. I was more posting to illustrate that people shouldn't put so much emphasis on it. There is a large part of the community who loves it and that's cool, but a lot of us just don't care even if we really like PvP otherwise. We'll see what becomes of it in D2, and with some changes (Different game type, address DDoS/Cheaters, address the paid carry culture) I might even spend some time with it, but as it stood in D1 it's my opinion that it was kind of a mess and not worth my time.

  • It's true what they say though, if you're posting about it means that you do care, you're just trying to tell you yourself you don't but you do, and it wasn't a negative culture that trials created, it was a competitive culture, people wanted to win in this so bad that some even paid for it.

    • Signed. I was cheated out of my flawless in year 1. I started on the exact same card as my friends; new card, used all boons, and in one sitting. We lost one time, but thanks to the Mercy of Osiris, we didn't get the loss, I checked afterwords and it was fine. After the final game, my two friends went to the lighthouse, but I somehow took a loss. After that experience, I just stopped caring about Trials. It's just too buggy to attempt. Thanks game. :/

      • So players on the forums are voicing their disdain for an endgame activity centered around pvp. This is....concerning for me. Hopefully Destiny 2 will allow for a more "accessible" pvp endgame. Then again, wouldn't the overall experience be devalued?

          • I completely understand the skill it takes to go to the lighthouse (not if you were carried). But im just not good enough. I had my titan and lock at a 1kd for a bit but thats that. I wish i was better but im not and fine with it. All the best for you if you went flawless but im not that fussed that i didnt.

                  • SIGNED, pvp is aids trails is cancer it's a mess, it's not even finished, they are unable to balance it, cheaters, the carries, bad match making, in my honest opinion, pvp was just a stupid ass idea from some intern or something at bungie.... yo yo guys know what would be really cool? gaurdains vs gaurdians and make it broken, so that we need to keep on chancing stuff and balancing. this way we will never be out of work, and we won't have time to make this game better! instead we just keep -blam!-ing around the bush.

                    • Signed and signed. I only ever played pvp when I'm under the effect of inebriation. That's the only way to enjoy shitty pvp.

                      I love the double standard with this post though. When PvP players say 'sign if you don't care about raiding' Its met with downvotes and a majority of these people saying that they're missing out and that they must have some sort of problem if they can't handle doing a raid. There's no support for these dudes at all, and now when its meta for the '-blam!- pvp' version, yeah lets all stand in solidarity and support of each other for not going the extra mile in PvP.

I don't care that I never beat aksis on hard mode. I didn't care so hard that I only attempted it once. I didn't care about going flawless again after the first time and I hardly played trials again after that. People like to hear what they want to hear I guess.
