Just as the title implies, Freelance should be a permanent playlist. The player decline is mostly thanks to the stacks using arbalests and sidearms. It sofocates the games and makes it so that anyone who would not use such loadouts prefer to not even try the gamemode. Whats the point when one isnt even having fun. If Bungie doesnt understand that then yes, Trials wont ever truly recover thanks to the stacks that seem to lack a job or studies.
