Has Osiris made carrying acceptable ?

Here I am, the worlds worst PvP and PvE player in Destiny and I am reading threads and posts about being carried and wanting to be carried ....... and I'm not sure why. Don't get me wrong here. Before anyone yells at me I just want to say that those players across all platforms who have offered assistance are real diamonds and should be thanked and applauded for actions that almost seem out of place in the community. But am I the only one who feels that if I did get carried it wouldn't be "my" achievement ?. Yes you can laugh at my stats and think that of every player in the game I'm the one who needs carrying most of all .... but I wouldn't be comfortable if two great players did all the work and I was a virtual spectator. Where's the fun in it ? Yes I know people want flawless runs to reach the lighthouse so I understand why it's being done but after reading so many posts in the past criticising carrying through raids and iron banner have the trials now made it acceptable ? Thoughts ? And no I'm not criticising those who get help either I'm just saying I couldn't do it ( well not directly seek it or expect it. Being rubbish is all my own doing lol)! And wondering now why it's become more acceptable ?

  • Carrying is absolutely okay for Trials in my opinion. I have a group of around 15 people. Some play far more than others. Me and two of our members, we're the three best in PvP out of our group. We smashed our flawless tickets out on each character and then proceeded to help bring our group to the lighthouse with flawless tickets one at a time. It feels good to help out :)

    • I honestly don't think you can get carried through ToO. Teamwork is so crucial that you have to at least pull your weight. Individual k/d on the team doesn't matter as long as you're coordinating with your team, calling out, having good communication and getting revives/assists/clean up kills. It doesn't matter if one guy on the team gets all the kills, as long as you're working together. There's no score, only eliminating the other team. If one of your teammates is hanging back doing nothing, you're going to lose.

      • You can be carried in raids and PoE. Not in trials. Had a game where I went 18-9 but my friend went 2-10. We still lost.

        • I don't mind getting carried to 5, to buy the armor, which he doesn't have now for some reason. But I would have an ethical problem getting carried to the lighthouse. If I got 5 kills across 9 matches or something small like that, it would be hollow feeling.

          • I don't see how someone can get carried flawlessly thru Trials. You need to at least pull your weigjt

            • Idk. I'm willing to be "carried" through it because I know I'd still be helping out my team. I'm a good player and I have almost made it already. If a good player is on my fireteam its still my accomplishment. I still put in the work. I have good stats.
