[EDIT] check out my new post "Did you know you can help block unwanted sollicitors on destinylfg?" Trials used to be fun, but ain't anymore because players have found all kind of ways to make money with this game mode which i believe is one big joke for reaching the lighthouse. - twitch streamers asking money for carries and account recoveries and so called donations that are not mandantory but welcome. - Most streamers are using raffles, which gives followers such a small chance of winning one. They post on destinylfg or bungie reqruitment page that a raffle is going now, but once you enter they just started their first or second match, its nonsense. Followers are just wasting their time for hours in these streams just to make a chance for a lighthouse run. - I admit, I have even done it, but realized its waste of time cause I want to play the game, not wait for it. A RAFFLE = A LOTTERY= to give you the impression you might win something for free = this causes a lot of time people to give something back like a donation! Psychology = when you receive something for free, you are willing to give something back. - so your chances of winning one is little and the fact that a carry plus waiting for the streamer to get more followers into his stream will take more than one hour, you might end up spending several hours in stream without getting a carry. NOW, thats waste of your time and energy, it only benefits the streamer. - if you are lucky to win a raffle, nice. But high chance this won't happen as easy again next time as lots of streamers have rules in place that you won't be able to win another raffle if you already did. DONATIONS are not required, but APPRECIATED - if they are not required, why do streamers add a DONATION button on their stream? - its all psychology to trick you. They mask it with quotes like *to improve my stream* *for my wedding* etc... - cheaters using ddos and lag switches to reach the lighthouse for money - 3/4 of destinylfg.com posts are about asking money for lighthouse runs or account recoveries - even posts on ebay - its almost impossible for players with a lower than 1.0 kd to find a team for trials. - then we have stuff like elo and kd farming, its so broken. - BAD matchmaking - too many RED bars How much longer are you letting this happen Bungie? Please, open up your eyes guys and girls. This is not how playing a game and having fun as it is meant to be. Think more than twice before donating your money for just a lighthouse run, which is not special at all.
