Food For Thought People:
the amount of Lag in Trials could be reduced in some situations by having Matchmaking / Team Finding
For example:
I am a Solo player, no Clan, no regular Fireteam
Trials won't let me in Solo, so I hit LFG and find some random partners
turns out they're on the other side of the planet from me, we've got terrible connection,
all thru Trials we have either me, or the other guys redbar, because no matter who is Host, someone ends up Far Away.
The alternative:
if there was Trials Matchmaking, then instead of me using LFG and getting totally random out-of-region partners
the Matchmaking system could instead Find me a Team, that has good Connectivity to me.
Less lag for everyone.
Summary:
By requiring Premade Fireteams in Trials, we end up with teams that are manually created with no regard to network connection.
A Matchmaking system can alleviate this by locating team members based on connection, something LFG cannot do.

It doesn't matter who I get off lfg. Nobody red bars. There is no problem.
