Apparently boosting is "cheating" yet trials carry streamers are welcomed?

Stop giving streamers special treatment. Their "service" streams are exactly what you list as "cheating". They make money off of passively selling their carries 24/7 by gaining followers, paid subscribers as entry points for their raffles and viewership which equals money. That IS boosting. Stop letting them get away with it. Also they are non stop recoving other peoples accounts still for videos because you put that exception into your biased rules to allow people explicitly to use other peoples accounts for "weapon testing". Catering everything to the 0.1 % elitist population is getting so old.

    This may come off as nit-picky, but that's not what I intend; I just want to make it clear that there is a difference that's 'technically' a loophole. It's definitely based upon how you perceive the word as 'carry'. People use the term so loosely, that for the most part, it doesn't mean what it's supposed to anymore. Carry originally meant to legit have someone do absolutely nothing, and you 'carry' all of that weight yourself. That's largely kinda not what happens when it comes to this; It's not as if when someone says,"I'm carrying you." Then the person being assisted simply jumps off the map every Round and legitimately contributes nothing- and is expected to do so. (Because simply being on Radar alone- even if not getting any kills at all, does have a major impact upon enemy's placement and strategy.) What Carry actually means nowadays is "I feel as if I'm better than you. I'll play the game with you and we'll go Flawless together." Which if the assisted person is simply being on Radar, they are having impact upon each Round, and can be seen as strategy, etc. It's very loophole-y. But I do agree with what you said; Carrying, regardless of contribution, or not, is a form of Boosting. But again, it's VERY loophole-y, and it's kinda hard to identify if someone's just having a bad day/weekend (we ALL have those), or if they're legit being Boosted to Flawless intentionally, and judge that from in-game data alone. -- (This is where I rant, so disregard this if you don't care) What I'd say is; Simply stop caring. The unfortunate reality is that Destiny will never be the game that you want it to be. The faster you accept that Bungie just ain't the company to actually care about this type of thing,(mostly because they profit as well from these things; Free promotion of their product, etc.) the better you'll become at accepting the game for what it is and establishing what you actually enjoy, and don't enjoy about the game. Maybe even then, your addiction will be shaken away, and you won't find yourself typing words that'll never be seen or considered by a Dev. The only way Bungie will ever begin to value your individual (which realistically, you're a no-name to them) opinions upon the game is if people realize that the over-priced Expansions for the game, where 99% of the content is recycled, done once and never again, is a scam. If Bungie starts losing money, THEN they'll care. But people are dumb. People will never accept that and die defending this game while throwing hundreds of dollars at each Season's recycled Horde Mode. Good ol' American business!
