Several issues with Trials right now for me:
1. No permanent Freelance makes it extremely difficult for me to go Flawless (I don't have a fireteam who will join me).
2. Cross-play means console players always have the upper hand vs PC players. This area needs improvement.
3. Lack of dedicated servers means facing players with bad connection. I just played against a Warlock that floated into a wall and disappeared.
4. Cheating has decreased but you still get the occasional one shooting through walls, with bottomless heavy or perfect aim.
5. They removed three awesome Trials weapons (Shayura, Igneous and Messenger) and left us with only one interesting one this season, Eye of Sol.
6. To add insult to injury, they made Eye of Sol the reward on a weekend that wasn't Freelance. Huge mistake, in my opinion.

What? Console players don't play PC players and the general consensus is that PC players would have an advantage.
I am a PC player and I see console players all the time. If they have crossplay on or they queue with a PC player it will put them in that matchmaking. Most of the time they have very poor connections, but not all the time.
