What makes trials challenging and rewarding is having to earn your way in, which sometimes entails eking out quality wins against good times. Ensuring that any and all competent teams spend as little time as possible playing against "the masses" makes the path to the LH progressively easier for everyone else, sure, but it also defeats the purpose of an event that rewards strong teams. Weaker players can already face off against ppl of similar ability in regular crucible, there doesn't need to be an easy button for Trials as well.

Then trials should be a one card only game and carries should be banned period. Because like you said skill is the basis here right? It's this mindset that has nerfed this game into the ground. Don't agree with 7 tiers but making a few more tiers for some more competitive play and higher loot seems like the end game for competitive play. Not watching teams get pub stomped because it's their first time and they don't have the same skills as people who have been playing trials since Y1

How do you stop carries from happening? What if it's not a carry per se but two friends who enjoy playing together but have vastly different k/ds? I just don't see how anyone could stop this from happening, especially if there's no tangible proof that it's a carry per se (or any kind of transaction/agreement). I'm not saying I'm amazing at trials, but I'll often play with weaker friends in order to a) try and get them flawless and b) earn myself some passage coins in the event that we end up losing by not using boons, should that not be allowed?

That's not really a carry though. You help your friends and I'm sure you work to help them get better. I'm talking about streamers who charge, and who openly state they are carrying people. I'm not saying it gets banned but the two tier system can combat it a lot better so people actually earn the loot and get that feeling of achievement

I agree with you dude, and I hate to keep sounding like a naysayer haha but I'm just skeptical that Bungie will invest the time and resources necessary to check the "paper trail," and investigate whether each and every trials run is an actual paid-for carry or just three people with highly varied KDs/ELOs.

Bungie invested/wasted time and money revamping COE because of a few bubble Titans... They would if they wanted to, but they're so in bed with the top streamers financially they probably won't do it for trails.

I mean you do know that the only ppl left playing trials are previous flawless and streamers with top world rankings. There's no improvement when all you can do is barely get out of spawn without getting air sniped by some try hard.

It's amazing the level of development effort that goes into a game mode for such a very small percentage of the player base. As long as people watch and subscribe to the streamers it won't change.
