So many people ( Myself included) Tend to find that trials and Iron Banner seem a little Biased with raid gear even and I'm writing this only from a PvP Standpoint.
With the introduction to the Heroic raid we also see Osiris has come to town and I was frantically waiting for it's release even since this year's Iron Banner went live. I had a blast in Iron Banner and enjoyed it so much I thought that Trials would be right up my ally since Crucible tends to be a bit of a pain wheel. Now I'm not going to focus on supers there are too many posts already about "Nerf Sunbreaker" "Don't Nerf Sunbreaker" "Ooooo Stop Crying" etc etc. I'm only touching on the raid gear additions to PvP.
This weeks trials was for me a bit of a disappointment. Even going in at 306 Light I was being Decimated consistently by players rolling in with Heroic mode gear. I'm not complaining about unfairness there is no point the threads are full of them. I'm more thinking of Alternatives. Here are my top three out of a long list.
[b]1. No Scale, No Need. Train Train Train. (Choo Choo)[/b]
Some of the people I know have been saying Trials and Iron Banner need to scale and I don't agree, Increased light level is a must and makes these game types fun. Skill plays a big part in both. Add a training system for players to get better at these game types. a crucible level reward system and game type that plays like both Trials and Iron Banner with No extra rewards so people can train up on how to play without crucible scaling.
[b]2. PvP Gear.[/b]
Now I know some people are going to gripe about this, One set of gear for raiding and one set of gear for PvP Systems. I understand if you disagree and feel free to disagree because constructive criticism is a good thing.
I would love to see Iron Banner gear and Osiris work and scale light accordingly for PvP. Anyone one dropping in with the best tier raid gear from PvE should not have an upper hand in a PvP style game, because lets face it we have our all around casuals that play both and we have our dedicated PvP players and PvE players. It's a tipping scale and I can understand the balance and time needed to implement it so I don't have very high hopes for this suggestion.
[b]3. Exotic Weapon Removal ( Trials Only)[/b]
I love using Invective, it's my go to exotic for any PvP setting. Yet I still want to see Trails running a non exotic system for trials.
It's down an dirty do the best with what you got it should be about taking ordinary Legendary Weapons and proving you have the mettle to use them and use them well.
[b]Honorary Mention : Super Removal.[/b]
A crucible style playlist for those that just want to run and gun, grenades and melee friendly but some people just don't wish to play with supers. This takes the Honorary spot only because supers are a massive point in both Trials and Iron Banner.
Which do you wanna see the most, Mention in the polls.

Edited by Candain_Ruto: 11/2/2015 6:31:34 AMHonestly I didn't use a single exotic at my 9-0 run this weekend. Only rolled my fast res chest plate, was rolling sunbreaker Titan and felt I was strong enough without weapons with perks like red death. I was running my conspiracy theory, the iron banner pulse rifle and my quillims terminus and did just fine with my team mates. Just proves it can be done without those exotics everyone uses.
