Okay, so last night my fireteam and I FINALLY got to that 8-0, and we lost 5-4 unfortunately to a team we should've beaten as one of our teammates was up tight. Then, as they won, it said "Soandso was victorious in the Trials of Osiris" and THIS pissed me off. These people weren't even going to the lighthouse or had already been there!!!
Frankly I think the matching system for trials should put people who are 8-0 WITH other people trying to finish their card, and have a different section for people just trying to get the stupid scarab emblem or even have losses on their cards, just others at 8-0.
In all honestly this post is in the wake of much salt, and a long time of being awful at shooters, but seriously. Wouldn't you be?
Salt salt salt,

Added: For all the new patronizers, the issue I have is that we weren't fighting against a team trying to go to the lighthouse, they had either already gone, or were unable to go due to a loss on their card. Either way, a common incentive to keep playing after losses or after you've already been flawless is for the scarab emblem. Get over yourself, the scarab emblem is dumb. AND if you're 8-0 your competition should be 8-0.
Extra add: for those not liking the whole "people at 8-0 should face 8-0", then frankly, a better idea would be to put anyone with 9+ wins matched together, and not match them with anyone below 9 wins. Food for thought.
More sauce: For those believing that "the way the matchmaking would work would take too much time to match", recognize there are thousands of people to match with at these points and it would not take that long, nor would it take any longer than it already does sometimes.
And vote D for President

Scarab emblem 25 wins in a row auto reward. Rng is ridiculous in this game. It's gotten to the point I don't even try to get armor or guns anymore. I'll get all the necessary gear for pvp and save my time doing something I enjoy. Even the reward tables Bungie tried to create made the grind so ridiculous because there was no content behind it. So what little content they did have they artificially extended it well beyond its naturally playable life span. We ended up playing it so much we couldn't stand the sight of the levels or bosses. They jacked up his games loot so bad. Now the uniqueness of weapons in destiny is awesome (for exotics). Legendaries have been reskinned about 4 times by now so nothing is really different. The "hot fixes" change the weapons more then getting a new weapon does. All things that need to be improved upon to retain an audience long term.
