It took you all of say, 20 minutes?, to think about the problems and come up with a workable solution for Trials....yet Bungie has had [i]6 yrs[/i] (including the year off) and they still haven't followed that yet? PvP competitions aren't new nor are tiered ranks, how is this so complicated?

I was a project manager in the gaming business few years back. Every activity you design has to be inclusive. Trials in d1 did in the sense you could never win a match or a round but still get gear and weapons. Your time is rewarded. Not now. They have valor and glory, not understanding why same setup not used. The current design, in my opinion, is not an elite accomplishment. You are only elite when going flawless against elite flawless players or teams only. The heroic flawless pushes the best to always play the best and not farm legendary trials which is what youtubers are now telling players to do. The legendary trials allows a training ground for players to achieve success and to learn the in and outs of trials and how to win. The current design will run its course in 3 weeks. Only people left will be sweats farming the weapons which mean average Joe is essentially locked out of an entire game mode. Same issue with raids. Easy mode to get you through and understand how to play it. Then hard mode for the adept. Games should be made for all levels of play. When Activision left, I knew things would get worse not better. Less money, staff and studios. Why the community thought it would be better is beyond me.

Thats........actually a really good idea. Although what about those who token farm, going to 3 wins then reset? I feel like they should do something for that. Because those people are absolute sweat lords dumping on casuals/ not skilled players and it contradicts even getting past 3 wins in the first place.
