No. -blam!- that. Trials doesn't work. I often go against people on their 9th win upon just starting a card. Don't defend it. Trials is broken and people game the system.

I'm not defending the system lol, I absolutely hate what Bungie does with their matchmaking system. Trials is SUPPOSED to function so that you play against a team that has the same number of wins as you. Does it work as intended? Nope, not even most of the time. What I'm saying is people who don't make it to the lighthouse shouldn't bitch and moan and expect to be given rewards for something they didn't earn. This is a manifestation of the entitled attitude most kids seem to have nowadays and it's complete bullshit.
-
Sure. I'm not complaining about not getting there. I've been a few times and have everything I wanted. I just don't like the mentality of it all.
-
The mentality of what exactly?
-
That the people they deem below them have no right to get to the lighthouse and those who have already been for the week on all 3 characters then deliberately go out of their way to screw other people's cards up. They live for destroying their chances. That and farming for kd. Imo trials should lock you out for the week once you've been to the lighthouse on that character.

Edited by Macha Tarvos: 8/7/2017 11:46:09 PMI can see your line of thinking, but here's the problem with that... you're assuming the only reason people continue to play trials after going flawless is to deny other people their chance at flawless. You can't make an intelligent argument from that assumption. But let's just say that's what they were doing. So what? It would be no different if you ran into them when they were still trying for flawless. And if bungie did lockout all the flawless characters, by process of elimination, you'd eventually have little to no competition in getting to the lighthouse because all that would be left is the really bad players. Plus, the bad players can just wait till Monday if they see fit so they can bypass any challenges they might have in facing upper tier players. Using my Olympic gold medal analogy again: it would be like continuously having everyone in the country competing for the gold but once you win, you can't compete anymore. Eventually, the competition will be between elementary school kids because everyone before them is not allowed to compete. They'll receive the same reward as the true olympians, which is obviously not right. Sorry, but you don't deserve to have it easy just because the good players already achieved their goal for the week. And back when I used to play trials every weekend, I would play after my characters went flawless because I liked the competitive nature of the game and I enjoyed playing it with my friends. You're assuming people are out to get you and ruin your fun. Stop being a pansy and thinking you're special enough for a huge amount of people to deliberately take time out of their day to prevent you from making it to the lighthouse. Again I'll say, suck it up and get better. Don't blame anyone or anything else for you not making if it's purely because you couldn't beat another team.

You paid no attention to my post. I'm not complaining I didn't make it. I know for a goddamned fact that people play it only to farm kd and wreck people's cards. I've spoken with those arseholes before. It definitely happens. I'm not creating some fake scenario to make myself feel better. Read reddit. The proof is all over there.
-
I completely agree that what they are doing is unethical. I hate kids who farm for kd. And it's an asshole move for people to play trials with the intention of knocking other people's chances out. But guess what, suck it the -blam!- up. You're mad because your feelings are hurt. You can't prevent people from playing trials based on their motives. You can only play them and beat them. I read your post, and my statement still stands. Stop whining and beat them. If you can't, then get better. There are countless channels on YouTube with tips on how to improve your game. Shoot, I'll even give you some coaching if you really want. But what I won't deal with is people bitching about losing because their opponent's motive behind playing wasn't up to your moral code of ethics.

It's not even skill level that is my problem. I used to do fine when I had a group to play with regularly. We weren't amazing but we got to the lighthouse a few times. They all quit though. Now I'm only playing with people who have never done trials, cant call out and have no team cohesion. I was only doing it last week for the emblem. We never managed to push heavy enough so that's the only node I didn't get. I got my emblem though. Which is all I was doing it for. People could still learn to not be arseholes though.
-
Well like I said, you can't change someone's motive for playing. I get pissed when I get beaten and t-bagged. But I can't do anything about it. The best way to show them up is to win. Again, if you're on Xbox and want some advice then I can give you some tips. Just let me know
-
Except the difference is they don't need it anymore and it's pretty shitty of them to do trials purely for the reason of preventing others getting there. It's fine if they're having fun practicing against sweaties but they're not. They're farming for their precious kd and screwing others deliberately, just so they can achieve orgasm.
-
Dude how do you not get the point? Stop crying that people are preventing you from winning. No one cares. The only way you'll ever get around this is to get better and beat those same kids.
-
You didn't read my last post about not having a dedicated fireteam to practice with. Oh well.
-
I did read your post. It's your problem if you don't have a fire team to run with. Go on LFG, make friends. No one is going to solve that problem for you. Stop being lazy
-
I have severe social anxiety and trouble making friends okay? It's hard for me.
-
Then don't complain about not having friends. Either take steps to get over your social anxiety or stop bitching about not having friends and accept it. Those are realistically your two options
-
I am trying to get over my social anxiety, but I've not seen my psyche in months. My car is a write off.
-
Ok, then in the mean time, stop complaining
-
Me having social anxiety doesn't mean people should be arseholes.
-
What it means is you should stop complaining about not having a team to play with. Shut the -blam!- up already and leave it alone
-
I only said that in response to people shitting on me for my trials KD. as though that means anything except I play with other shitty fireteams.
-
Dude stopppppppp
-
Stop what? Everytime I've said it, its been in response to someone having a go at me for it. "You're shit so you complain." No-one actually bothers to read.
-
I read all your goddam posts and yet you still complain. -blam!-ing shut your cock-holster and go to bed
