Okay, to everyone who says, "Trials is for the Best of the Best," I'm with you. It should be, but listen up. Trials is set up as a tournament where your early wins should be a little easier, and your latter matches are tough as nails as you're increasingly playing against those vying for those 7 wins, or even a flawless ticket. Think NCAA March Madness or... nearly any tournament structure you can think of. Ideally, casual players will get 1-2 wins and get better. Amateurs will probably got 3-5 wins. Semi-pros will get 5-7 wins, and Pros will go flawless. That's cool. Everyone is happy. Currently, however, Casuals are getting 0 wins or maybe 1. Amateurs are getting 1-2 and then being stomped repeatedly (that's my team). Pros and Semi-Pros are getting 7 wins once a week (maybe), and then token farming at the 1 win mark over and over. That's unhealthy. Imagine if the Championship hopefuls just reset their progress in a normal tournament, over and over, to blow out the most hapless teams. That makes for bad entertainment and bad feelings. That's the current state of trials. Already, Casual players are giving up on trials. Some may say, "that's fine, I'm not a casual player, and this is meant for the best." The problem with that, is Amateur players no longer have anyone they can beat to get to 3 wins, unless they get lucky with matchmaking and end up playing each other to 3 matches. More likely, they get their first win or two against other Amateurs and get crushed by token farmers for the next 4 matches (yeah, I'm in that boat). Eventually, Amateurs like me give up on Trials. Then you're down to Semi-Pros and Pros going sweaty from the very first match. Eventually, the cycle repeats, and you're left with just the Pros. In other words, we have a steadily decreasing player base. So how to fix this? First, there needs to be an incentive to go in and at least complete a ticket. Go ahead Casuals, get stomped. You'll feel bad, but the incentive for adding to the player base is worth it. Maybe it's a powerful drop, maybe it's a pinnacle, but there has to be more than absolutely zero. Next, there should be significant drawbacks to resetting your ticket. Maybe it costs 25k glimmer every reset, maybe something else, but either way, token farming casual players should be disincentivized. Personally, I want to play Trials. I do well in Comp, and I'm ready to up my game. However, I'm tired of getting easy wins the first match or two of the ticket and then getting face-stomped by top 2.5% players for the next 4 matches. Considering PVP (Trials) is a big focus this season, Destiny would do well to reduce the epic crushing that's happening to most of the player base who want to try the new thing. Finally, to those who say, "It's Trials. Get good." or "Casuals don't belong in Trials." It's not about that. It's about maintaining the player base. Pros deserve their 7 wins and Flawless tickets. Casuals don't. But Casuals should feel like Trials is more than an utter waste of their time and morale.
