Before we go into this, I'm a super casual player. I know I'm not good enough to go flawless. I've had a max of 6 wins EVER. ONCE. So I mainly play for bounties. But before Destiny ends, I'd like to go flawless. But I know I'd need to get carried. Anyways, into my thoughts and some ideas I've seen from the community.
1.) (Personal Issue) Fixed matchmaking. It's on your scorecard, so WHY do I pair against 3 people with flawless gear, when I'm 1-2 on my card and already used mercy. And to be fair, we already know what that free win is from. ):
2.) I saw someone suggest that people who have been flawless that weekend ALREADY, cannot go 9-0 again on that character. Not only does it give other people chances. But it reduces paid carries on forums, gives the casuals a chance to win. Why should someone who hasn't been to the Lighthouse, have to fight through long, annoying games against players who go flawless EVERY weekend.
3.) Spawn rotation every new round on Trials. Too many maps are one sided.
4.) I've seen some ask for no heavy round. I personally don't care, but I've seen lots say it should get taken out.
5.) On the "once per character" 9-0 thing. Hardcore trials players say going flawless isn't meant for the casuals. Because its suppose to be hard, right? If it's so hard, why are people selling carries? How are you so arrogant, that you can guarantee a 9-0 run, for $60+ if 9-0 is meant to be hard. If that doesn't support the idea, idk what does.
6.) Additional Gold Tier bounties with new ideas, etc. Bounties to make people play different. Instead of getting in and focusing on 9-0, being in bounties that guarantee a 5 win armor or 7 win weapon for a difficult, lengthy task throughout the weekend.
That's all I've really come up with. Share all opinions in the comments, or comment your own. You can call me a cry baby, call me bad, or stand by your trials ego. I've seen too many great suggestions from players on forums. Everything on Destiny should be accessible for every Destiny who's put in the grind. I've done everything crucible, PvE, hardest quests and everything. Soloed things, and done some pretty hard things. But why does 9-0 seem extremely out of reach.

Trials is broken!!!! Bungie needs to change it to a rank system like iron banner. That would put an end to paid carries. It isn't about skill anymore, it's about money and cheating and lagging. It was a good idea in the beginning, but it has made a mess out of Destiny, and brought a toxic atmosphere to the game!!!!

1. No. 2. No. 3. Yes. 4. No. 5. No. 6. Yes. Trials should not be made easier just because casuals are to lazy to grind. Me and the team I do trials with are in no way "pro" and we have went flawless every year. It took work and dedication, if a casual can't work for it they don't deserve it.

Edited by Evskii: 12/19/2016 10:47:46 PMPlayers that get paid for carries are typically top 1% players so that's how they can carry. And the locking people out wouldn't limit paid carries at all. The carrier could just lose one game on purpose. It doesn't matter if the carrier goes flawless only the person being carried. And you play people with flawless gear because they can have the same number of wins as you. I'm not really sure how you have a hard time understanding that one?

Locking people out of the content is never the answer to the problem, on the subject of paid carried what is you problem with them, who do they personally stop you from playing trials and making it to lighthouse

If people wanna play after going flawless then let them, that'd be similar to locking people from the raid once they are done, sounds silly and I paid for the content so it shouldn't be locked for me once I do it
