I know I will get a lot of crap for this but I don't care. This needs to be addressed if it hasn't already. I want to make it clear that I don't complain about things regularly, this is the first post I've ever made regarding video games. And i don't spend any time on this website so I wont be arguing with anyone, I'm making this post in hopes that someone at Bungie will see it and consider my thoughts on the subject. I'm a mother of a 3 year old boy so I don't play video games all day like some other people do. ALTHOUGH, believe me I wish i could. My fiance works all day so he can't game as much as he wishes he could either. My fiance and I game together and Destiny is literally a part of our relationship. We like it that way. Destiny brings us together in a weird way but its a good thing. We do spend way too much time gaming though, that is for sure. My fiance works a lot so every night after my son goes to bed, we game together. Destiny has pulled us both out of depression and its a huge part of our lives. We live Destiny. We support it to its fullest. We both have an xbox one because sharing one console caused many many arguments. Could you share your xbox? I dont think so. ;) We have "regular" lives so we don't play all dang day because lets face it, not all of us gamers are streamers or youtubers and do this for a living although WE WISH that was the case. My point is, we dont spend 20 hours a day playing Destiny. (overexaggeration??) For the amount of time we play, we are both pretty good. Good enough to score highest in a crucible game 90% of the time. We support everything Destiny has done and brought us including Trials of Osiris. We appreciate the fact that there is special gear that any guardian can get IF they are good enough. Because that is what it is based on right? Only the best of the best? Here is where we run into a problem....We ARE good players. We HAVE gone flawless. We CAN win games. we HAVE won games. We have every exotic in the game. We have multiple characters. We take Destiny SERIOUSLY. BUT we don't have the time to play all day :/ Heres my question, why are we catering to those who have the life that grants them to play 20 hours a day? or even 10 hours a day? Thats a lot of hours that i just do not have. Why are we assuming that all gamers have that kind of time on their hands? I think thats where were going wrong here. Every adult I play with has the same story we do, we wish we could game more than we do, but we have kids! or work 35+ hours a week. We think about Destiny all day and cant wait until we can get online! while all these streamers and youtubers and what not, sit at home and play the game all day WE WISH WE WERE DOING THAT TOO. But thats life, you cant always get what you want. I understand the exclusiveness of the Trials gear and I understand what they were going for, but is Bungie telling me that because I only spend 4 hours AT MOST out of the day playing, that I can't go flawless? I want to make it clear that we've gone flawless ONCE. We've attempted it numerous times but by the time we get to play on Sunday and get a trials team together, all the "PROS" are online trying to prevent players like us from going flawless because they're "bored". If they are so good that they're bored enough to prevent someone from achieving something big for themselves in this game, lets make them NOT so bored. Lets give them the challenge they so desire. I mean PROS and STREAMERS are so "bored" they think its funny to go through Trials with special conditions like "we can beat them with only melee" or "we can beat them with only no land beyond" and I mean, good for them, but thats just not fair to people like us. So wheres my fix for this? Lets put them with each other. Give them a taste of their own medicine. LETS MAKE THIS TRUELY FAIR. Because lets face it, if someone like me who plays less than 4 hours a day against someone who playes more than 10 hours a day...the person who plays 10 hours a day is going to win 95% of the time unless there was a miracle. Lets say someone has gone flawless 30 times, well lets put them with other people who have gone flawless 30 times!!! We have ranking on Prison of Elders, Factions, the Queen, Eris, etc.....Why not on Trials? This has gotten so bad and people were so desperate to try to beat these complete MLG pros that they started CHEATING (which I do not support in the slightest as me and my team have also been victims of this atrosity) but PEOPLE HAVE MADE SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSES OFFERING THEIR GAMING SKILLS TO OTHER PLAYERS FOR THE "SMALL PRICE OF $100"??? to get pulled through Trials?? NOT FAIR, IM SORRY, NOT FAIR AT ALL. That is just ridiculous. People are paying money to get pulled through this every week, thats how desperate people are. (we aren't that desperate we just want to win FAIR AND SQUARE) All I'm saying is, this is a problem. I dont know about yall but the place ive seen the most "lag switching" is in TRIALS!! Cheating is not the answer but the fact that people were driven to that is so sad to me! If we made it more possible for these people to go flawless, maybe we wouldn't see it as much is ALL I'm saying? More extreme solution to this problem? Make it to where we can only go flawless once a week? ON ONLY ONE CHARACTER. ONCE A WEEK. That way we don't have other players who are "bored" trying to prevent other players from that same achievement they themselves have made for themselves (and been paid to help others go flawless) so many countless times this week. I mean comon guys, really? At the end of the day I love Destiny, I love the people, I love the competition, and I love bonding with my fiance over this game that I will definitely play for a long while whether its problems are fixed or not. Please remember I'm not trying to "ruin" anything for the good guys, I'm just trying to make this whole Trials thing fair. I think yall Pros deserve a real competition and not just an annihiliation, but when you do finally annihiliate someone on your same level, how much more satisfying will that be? Just think about that before you jump down my throat guys. Or maybe my idea is just godawful and no one will give this post the time of day, either way I can tell my friends I tried for us and that is all that matters! Thank you for listening guys, and game on! <3 Moknockerz
