I'm a grown man with a family, a professional job (firefighter), a side job, and other responsibilities. But, I also enjoy video games, they are fun, entertaining, and a great stress reliever. I play with 3 other fireman while on duty to help us pass the 24 hour work shifts. I'm ok at crucible (not great) my "Fight Forever" emblem says I have a 1.84 k/d ratio. We compete in Quickplay and even Competitive crucible and win a few and lose a few. And it's a lot of fun, but, if we dare step foot in a Trials match we are quickly thumped in a matter of minutes by people wearing their emblems that show they have over 600 and 700 Trial match wins. Or even 60-100 flawless completed runs already. I couldn't figure out why these guys are so good. So I started to google some of these gamer-tag names. Most searches brought me to a app called "Twitch". A streamer app, so off to Twitch world I went. These players are professional streamers that make a living streaming playing video games. Their followers tip cash, or sub (costs $$$) there streams on the internet to make money off of them. And in return they either charge or have random raffles and auctions for their followers to be the winner of getting a "carry" thru a flawless Trial run. So that's why we're getting our butts kicked? I'm forced to play against Profession gamers in an E-sport arena. I'm sorry Bungie, but if I would have known you made this game (or Trials) which is a major part of the game. Considering it lasts 3 days of the week and the best gear and weapons drop from the event. I wouldn't have bought the game. Not because it's bad, but, simply because I know my friends and I aren't good enough to compete in a professional E-sport environment. This saddens me, why? My friends got frustrated this weekend after multiple Trial thumpings and suggested we move on to other games like Battlefield 1, Overwatch, or looking forward to COD: WW1. Not because they are better games, but simply because it's not fun to compete out of our class and get our brains beat in constantly. I enjoyed Destiny 1 & 2, but we have realized we aren't good enough for it. We aren't quitting Destiny, Destiny quit us. For what? Streamers? Professional gamers? Does Bungie get a cut of the money from people streaming Destiny on Twitch? Here is a suggestion. Only allow Trials gear and weapons to be used in Trials, since we're not good enough to get any of it. And it's just not us, only 18% off all Destiny players have won a single Trials match (based on the game achievement for it). So to keep it fair for the other 82% of us just keep that gear and those weapons in that event and out of regular crucible games.
