Everybody who thinks flawless should be included is an elitist who has lost touch with what "fun" means. Video games should be fun and provide entertainment. Yes, hard raids for most players were difficult at first and maybe those hours of wiping were not enjoyable, but it got better over time.
Trials on the other hand was set up to be "competitive", and I use that term loosely because of all the cheating going on under brother vances watch.
Face it, this is more of a tour of duty emblem as compared to a purple heart or special forces emblem. Please don't take my military comparison too seriously. Huge difference between video games and actual war.
