thats fine and dandy for the sherpa, but unfortunately it has the bi-product of an undeserving achievement, doesnt it? flawless also doesnt discriminate between a team of 3 or a carry of 1, flawless is flawless. and flawless was meant to show "I made it", and not "I was physically present", not "I got carried here", not "I knew somebody", but "I made it" emphasis on "I". see, I never went flawless. why? not because i suck, but because i dont care. i play Destiny for PVE, not PVP, so come Trials i was like, pass. I dont think its dumb or unworthy, quite the contrary. im happy for competitive PVP players, because they get a proper outlet to compete with and against like-minded players. im genuinely happy for them, but its just not for me. have i tied? like, twice or thrice, actually, because some friends wanted to try and they believed in my abilities. obviously i didnt go flawless of those 3 tries, i always got knocked out at 7 or 8 wins. regardless though, i tried for my friends' sake, and not my own, hence why i havent gone flawless. in fact, i have several friends that frequent the lighthouse, and they offer to help me get there too, but i pass because like i said, i just dont care enough to. so anyways, i have some other friends who've yet to visit mercury, and they really want to. they asked me to help but i declined, so they try on their own. they try and try and try and keep on getting knocked out, but still they persevere. they sometimes ask me to fill in the 3rd slot, but never press the request when i decline, instead they find someone else and press on. eventually, by their own determination, they made it! they were sooooo happy to have finally made it, and i was happy for them. when they wear their flawless emblem, and fire their adept guns, they do so with pride. this is why i dont think sherpas in trials are good, because people who get carried devalue the accomplishment of people like my friends, who tried and tried to succeed on their own, and not take "the easy route". their flawless emblem means something. a carried's emblem means less than nothing. TL;DR: people who try deserve respect for their accomplishments. people who dont try disrespect those accomplishments.
