I've played trials for so long and just haven't made it. I'll be honest that I'm not the greatest player of all time but I still do my part. So many of my friends have gone flawless but don't normally want to take me there.

Please read the recent tweets by crucible designer Derek Carrol. Trials is not for average players. Do the bounties and get the rewards if your an average player. If you want to go to the light house, go hang out in twitch at the weekend, and wait in chat for a carry. Seems to be the way, as last week 131,000 teams went flawless out of 4 million players, so right away the odds are against you.
