You realize that you needed to have gone flawless this season to get the required card to keep farming.
This weekend offered up free adept loot for high tier players without having to go into the flawless pool. That’s also why a lot of the matches on Sunday and Monday had very high skill players in it.
Bungie didn’t fix trails, they practically removed the flawless pool for the weekend on top of baiting low-skill players in with freelance.
Total matches played isn’t a good metric for stuff like this.

True, total matches isn't the best metric. Player population was still up though, even when compared to the last freelance weekend. This isn't some perfect solution, because it was a bug that not everyone could utilize. What if it was a feature though? What if everyone had a good shot at getting adept loot? I think that would bring more players in and keep them in the playlist.
