The trials player poppulation is extremely low. Whether it be the fact that most of the maps this past act have been rough, the use of a trials lab game mode that the majority of the playerbase dislikes, or most of the current adept weapon pool either being weapons out of meta or just straight up PVE weapons is probably why we are seeing a lower playerbase. I know almost for certain if players were able to focus one weapon per weekend from the old adept weapon loot pool to drop either from the flawless chest and or from wins along with whichever one of the current weapons in the new adept weapon pool that is dropping for the week would we see a massive uptick in the trials player poppulation. If I personally could farm a better adept igneous hammer roll or a burden of guilt or one of the other adept weapons that have been retired from the game I would most certainly be playing trials every weekend instead of maybe not participating the weekends that I do not like the map or the weapon is entirely irrelevant to pvp currently/or I already have a god roll of it. And I am posting this potential change not because of my personal wants and desires other than it would be nice to see this game mode last longer and there be less of a fear of it dwindling in player poppulation into nothingness.
