It's nothing to do with people being lazy it's because people in trials are sweaty an. They can't get to light house an getting carried is te only way but paid is so stupid

I understand your point, however I consider myself to be an average player at best..... I go flawless every single weekend, most weekends on all 3 characters. I play with buddies and do carries on occasions to help friends out, but by no means am I a great player. Last weekend I lost count how many lighthouse trips I helped with. Either my trials experience is completely different from the majority, or the sweaty-ness of trials is overblown. In my opinion late year 2 was the sweatiest trials has ever been. Year 3 trials has gotten progressively easier and easier to the point where it's starting to get boring. I've also got a good friend irl who started gaming competitively around CoD Ghosts I think. When Destiny came out he was a below average player who has practiced and practiced and practiced.............. and practiced at honing his gun skills, movement, sniping, etc. I would say at this point he's also an average player, and with all the effort he's put in is even a "decently good" sniper. Through nothing but hard work on his part he's earned himself probably 20ish lighthouse trips throughout the 3 years of destiny, and he's the very definition of the type of player that pay to be carried. Difference is he's been willing to put in the effort to improve and get better to make it on his own. A very large chunk of the destiny community don't want to put in the effort.
