with Top Tier players like Mtashed complaining about Trials , you can take the comments of the "designer" and throw them under a bus.. Trials is NOT working as intended.. it WORKED as intended in the beginning, where you could gather a team and get a shot at the lighthouse and get paired against normal players that tried the same.. now its only 16hrs a day streamers and OVER average players.. SBMM does not work since there are simply not enough "normal" players playing this kind of activity due to missing matchmaking and in game possibility to find a team. The activity got a bit of a renaissance with the bounties where you could get a shot at loot with decent perks just by playing but bungie missed the chance to cater to the lower tier players just in the sense of availability of the activity for them. If they want players in there they need to provide a tool to find a team. since YES the normal/average player does have a problem finding or forming a pre made, constant team to "train" with since the concept of "training for a videogame" is utterly alien to them since its a "game" and not a job or a sport.. .. so without any teamfinder IN GAME this activity will be reserved for those who can affort to sink in 72 hours a weekend to play and 4 hours a day to "train".with a fixed team.. the rest simply cant win flawless until very lucky or getting carried.. you can watch streams and see even good beyond average teams getting rekt quite often.
