Now that we are getting towards the end of our first act after the final shape, it seems very clear that the player pools/population is so small, especially in comp pvp and trials. I can't play with friends anymore because the only people in teams are mostly the top 1% so every single match I feel like I need to take a shower afterwards. This forces me to play solo, and as someone that has been doing this every season to get the gild for flawless and glorious, this act feels extra painful just trying to get to adept in comp. Solos is basically equivalent to spending your time at a casino and gambling with RNG whether or not you can get the better teammates. I feel like my time isn't being respected anymore, even more so after that whole Legend title grind of waiting on engrams... Braytech currently has me in the top 100 in the world for active triumph score, however I fear that may soon change as this game is beginning to feel a little too long in the tooth. I would really like to at least experience playing older trials one more time, where I can buddy up with a friend and have fun trying new builds out without having to use the top meta stuff every game.
