Not my words, those of the Bungie lead pvp designer, Mantis:

It's attitudes like that which make me throw money at the screen

How can trials be skill based when the only skill required is a higher light level, im 387 titan and i play with nearly maxed armour, but i still get 2 shot by a guys mida when hes just a 395 hunter, how is that a fair thing? Thats not skill, thats the abillity to damage someone more than they can you, and the matchmaking is so poorly done, ill have a team of a 378 387 and 390, and it will put us against a team of 395+ everytime, how are we ment to go flawless there? Im not an 'average player' i know how to play pvp competitively, but that is not trials, and until its made light level advantage disabled then it will never be skill based.
