Anyone can play trials, yet not everyone can go flawless. If you bought the game you are entitled to play trials but not everyone is entitled to win.

I just find it funny that elitists say to average people ''You just want an easy trip to the lighthouse'' and at the same time instantly downvote when someone suggests they implement skilled based matchmaking.

finishing a ticket should bring you to the lighthouse. flawless only for emblem.

Okay. So. Lets consider this to be reality. Only the very best players are suppose to ever touch the holy Lighthouse. Abandon all pretense. Abandon hope for carries. Make this a game of absolute survival where you depend on your self and nothing else. Put your money where your mouth is. No more elimination. Everyone. Everyone. Gets exactly one shot. No buying new tickets when you lose. You screw up. You're out. Period. Until next week. Each game is 12 players. No fire teams. No respawn. Rumble. Everyone, is a target. Everyone, is a threat. You go down. You stay down. 3 rounds. The top 3 continue to the next round, everyone else is out, ties are broken in a final match between the tying players. Game two on the ticket is made up of only survivors from game 1. Same rules. Game 3 on ticket is made up of only survivors of game 2. All the way to the top, untill you are only competing against players who have survived all 9 other rounds. You survive this last round as one of the top 3, only then, after you have survived through the best of the best, do you make it to the Lighthouse. If you manage to be top rank in all games, you don't just get something rare or exotic or "adept" you get something held only for the best of the best of the best, because your odds of coming out top rank reduce significantly after each successive game. There. That is your sweaty elitist trials of osiris where only the best need apply. If that kind of sweat house isn't the skill exclusionary madness you're looking for. I don't want to hear someone say that "Trials is only for the best". Because if what I described sound scary because you have no one to fall back on and help you survive, then you aren't the best. It doesn't scare me..... But then again. I don't measure my worth as a human being on rather or not I visited a fictional area in a video game. It would open up the trials system so that every player has a right to participate instead of excluding solo players. And as this guy mentions, it would absolutely ensure that average players do not make it to the lighthouse. And if that's his philosophy then they can have at it. But the system they've set up here creates an economy of nothing but paid carries. If this is suppose to be so skill exclusionary, then why are they allowing people to build a business around it? Most companies actively try to obstruct that yet Bungie appears to be deliberately encouraging it.

Right cause 3/4 of your fan base that keep you from being poor shouldn't be allowed to enjoy the full game...that comment is disgusting and very unprofessional. Even if that is a true statement he shouldn't say it. If I was bungie I'd have fired him if possible. I know freedom of speech but some companies don't allow you to talk like that on social media because they know their consumers will not buy. Just my opinion though lol

The problem with trials is not the skill factor its the loyalty factor if you screw up once in a trials match bye bye your getting kicked its just like raids no one gives anyone a chance i should know I've encountered these people before of no one should get just freeload on trials but look the point im trying to get out is Everyone screws up we're human beings we've all done it no one is perfect at everything hell i congratulate the people who have gone flawless good job but ask yourself this how many people's trust did you break to go flawless? 10 20 100 ? The list goes on and on enjoy trials my friends you might just get kicked if you screw up and don't PAY ATTENTION TO THE SCREEN

I don't see what the problem is lol. You don't even NEED trials flawless for anything other than ornaments and shinier guns. Nothing crucial in that chest tbh

I would have no problem with that statement if Bungie 1. provided good servers 2. provided CBMM 3. would actually do something about cheaters You can't lock content behind a "skill wall" if getting there has less to do with skill and more with having the luck of getting a match where everyone has good connection... Or at least having the lagger on your team.

Bernie Sanders would have taken us All there. Oh well. That's politics for you.

I think that this is the truth and it is totally ok that it is like that. The Hardcore PvE players get the Hardmode and the Challengemode of the Raid, plus the hardest exotic Quest ( if you dont use any Tools or tips from reddit or YouTube). The casual playerbase have their Strike Playlists, the Nightfall, normal Raid, Iron Banner, the upcoming festival of the lost etc. . ToO is for the Hardcore PvP players. Of course everybody can participate but dont complain if its no fun for you. Everybody who arguments with “ But I paid for it!“. You paid for the experience that Destiny offers. Stop to yell and cry at Bungie just because there are players that beat you in PvP. Option 1: Start to work on your skills in PvP and get slowly better. Option 2: Just stay away from the crucible when you emotionally cant handle to play better players. Btw I hope my english doesnt suck too much and my sentences make sense. Have a nice day Guardians.
