Okay. So. Lets consider this to be reality. Only the very best players are suppose to ever touch the holy Lighthouse. Lets make that happen. 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. And you don't get to bring anyone else there with you. 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 describe sounds just too hard, then you probably aren't worthy of the Lighthouse according to this PVP lead guy right? It's not for people who couldn't survive these.... Trials. It doesn't scare me..... Nor do I think I would be able to make it past tier 2, maybe tier four if I got reeeeally lucky. 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 doesn't bother me to fail as long as I worked hard and maybe learned something along the way. It would open up the trials system so that every player has a right to participate instead of excluding solo players, who frankly right now are excluded from all end game content entirely. 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 carrying unskilled players? Most companies actively try to obstruct that yet Bungie appears to be deliberately encouraging it. So. Honestly. All I have in reply to anyone who will reply to this with anger and hatred is this. All I'm saying is if that's what they want, a skill exclusionary end game scenario, then let them put their money where their mouth is.
