Trials needs to have some intelligence to the match making process. I understand it is an end game solution but the fact that the match making process isn't based on anything but a latency number is poor planning and design. Trials should be based on team skills. You take all of these stats daily about a player or clan, it shouldn't be difficult to match players up with other people just as good. Trials is a very one sided at times. You'll have people who have already completed trials multiple times and in a perfect 9 game winning steak none the less and have them play against players who have yet to even win three trial matches let alone 9. This isn't a whining session but many people feel the same way about trials. Rather than nerfing gun stats, fix the match making. There are plenty of other issues that need to be addressed, gun nerfing isn't one of them. You want end game rewards why don't you introduce more bounties similar to Thorn, have a player perform a certain number of tasks to gain access to some sought after weapon. Nerfing these highly sought after weapons, like Thorn, will cause a fair amount of destiny player loss, maybe in the area of 15 to 25 percent... Something to ponder before the taken king drops. Look at the number of pre orders, did you meet the expected target or was it off. People are waiting to see what you will do before they decide to drop the cash for it. Destiny players have had time to evaluate the game in better detail. This year one banner isn't a real reward for the destiny player. It's almost like you are simply insulting the intelligence of the population with this prize. At the end of the day we the gaming population pay your bills so provide the first year adopters something of a true value and not something one has to grind for.. year one players have grinded enough, now is their time to take a breather and guide the second year adopters and help them get up to speed with destiny. Just my two cents. Hope this actually strikes some conversation with you the developers and the general destiny population.
