You think that's unrewarding? As unrewarding as the receiver of a 5:0 loss? Rewarding should be a challenge for both sides. I haven't played since week 1 of ToO because of the lopsided matchmaking. I suck at PvP and want to play people of similar skill; not people who continually mop the floor with me. With the best rewards in the game, the only thing Trials is good for is scaring the majority of Destiny players away from the game itself. Giving the best rewards to the best players only, only widens the gap of playability.

... Except the awards aren't even the best... They're terrible outside of Crucible.

Until recently though ToO appeared to be the only activity to drop primaries with elemental damage... which is only good in PvE. I don't know if it was just glitching week 1 & 2 or what but, Skolas does drop primaries with elemental damage. My friend got an auto rifle with solar 2 days ago. This changes my opinion somewhat of the best weapons dropping from ToO. Another thing, when I first read OP's post I was unaware of the cheat players were using so that no loss was recorded on their score card by cutting out through the "switch character" function. Personally, I would have no problem removing my fireteam and taking the loss if I felt I was severely over-matched. Taking death after death is only fun for the other team. However, circumventing the system to not record a loss is cheating in my mind - which I wouldn't do. Truth be told though, I found the whole ToO experience to not be be fun. I'll try almost anything if it looks appealing, but I don't continue to play games that aren't fun. Nor would I even consider buying a sequel or expansion to a game that I found to be not fun. Hopefully Bungie does not choose to centralize further Destiny content based on the ToO model. I haven't played ToO since week 1 and probably won't return unless I can find 2 players with way more skill than me who are willing to tolerate my mediocre PvP talents. ToO caters to a small player base of better than good and elite PvP gamers and limits playability for normal/ average and mediocre players. It could never survive as the main feature of a the game unless Bungie further wants to alienate its normal player base.

I honestly like the way ToO does with it's reward systems and stuff... Hell even PoE has a good reward system even though I kinda dislike PoE. But yeah I see your points. Maybe Bungie needs a matchmaking system but I honestly feel like it might be abused by certain players ya know? I feel like most of the problems with Trials is the fault of the playerbase... Most not all... Bungie still needs to issue out weapon rebalances.

I haven't been overly impressed with the 365 PoE weapons I've received so far. The scout I got has a faster fire rate than mida but, no elemental damage. I'm going to try it out soon in crucible. Trashed and/or vaulted the no elemental damage auto rifle and pulse rifle I got week 1 of HoW. Was unimpressed with the void rocket launcher. The only thing I've liked so far has been the 365 solar shotgun that dropped during my Skolas run. It's comparable to my found verdict. Range isn't good enough for PvP though. Rebalances would be nice. Seeing guns other than hand cannons and the occasional pulse rifles in Crucible is becoming rare. I miss using Suros.
