1000 Silver for a visit to the lighthouse ...
I wonder why Bungie left that source of profit to streamers and carrying services ...
Just imagine how much money they would be able to make with that (even if it was 2000 Silver). There are many people who would or do pay for paid carries, risking their account safety and paying more money for it.
2000 Silver would be cheaper in comparison and safer, as you wouldn't need to either give away your account login or risk not to go flawless when having a carry and playing your character yourself.
On the other side, there would certainly be an uproar from the streamers about that (from the trials tryhards too, but Bungie doesn't care about those all that much).

The streamers are basically free advertising for bungie when you think about it.

The best streamers do a lot more than just lighthouse carries (competitive my ass, btw). As far as competitive PvP streaming goes: I give a flying crap about watching carries. I would rather want to watch Trials matches between top players. That's btw how every real world competition transmissions (TV etc) work. People don't care about a national league baseball or basketball team playing a 3rd class province team. They want to see the best play the best. Bungie's concept here is so flawed. How twisted a mind must they have to believe carry streamers would be a good advertisement for them. The best advertisement for Bungie would actually be a well polished, thoroughly enjoyable game.
