I played since Destiny 1 and had all the DLC but now in Destiny 2 I cant play trials. I understand the reason it isnt available to non DLC players but I have an emblem on my account which you need to have had 5000 grimoire score in destiny to have. So I dont care if Bungie wants to personally allow me to play trials or allow players with that emblem to play but im getting bored of this lack of non DLC content and this is a minor ask, I even have trash stats in trials of the nine lol.

So, the reason they locked Trials behind the current expansion/season pass is to prevent an epidemic of Bungie banning cheaters, then those cheaters coming back through on a new free to play account and ruining the experience even more by being trashy little trolls. It has helped, from the few streams i've seen on PC. It isn't perfect, mind you, cause things like cheating programs evolve the same way as Digimon do, lmao. But no. I'm not a Trials player by any stretch of the imagination and honestly, a free to play Trials experience would be worse than it currently is.
