Edit: Thanks guys, I get that I spelled guaranteed wrong I've fixed it now...
I know this has been happening from the beginning of trials and I'm SURE it's very lucrative with some people 'charging' upwards of $120 or more to carry total scrubs to the lighthouse (I was watching a stream where I'm surprised the guy being carried could even complete PvE content, he was charging $80 per card and some unknown higher amount if you wanted insurance just in case you had to wipe a card once which would be another $80 without that extra amount up front).
I'm torn on this issue, people have been making money or benefiting from the inadequacies of people that can't do something from the beginning of time. But, this 'service' they are providing kind of seems wrong to me.
What are all of you fine guardian's opinions? Please elude without incriminating yourself if you are someone that gets paid upwards of $800-$1,600 per week (split between the two carrying the nubs). If they only charge $80 and on average a trials run without wipe takes an hour that would be the same as someone making roughly $84,000 if it is an equal split between the two doing the carrying and that is what they did 40 hours a week (Trials lasts for roughly 96 hours; so, if there is a steady flow of individuals that are desperate to go to the light house you could make the bi-weekly wage of an upper-middle income individual in just one trials weekend...)

I make money tho :(

It takes them about 30-45 minutes. My friend does it and makes a fortune. It does impact against the weaker teams, a double carry is hard to beat unless you're skillful. But they can't stop it and why should they?

I honestly don't care

A fool and his money are soon parted. If someone wants to spend money on it, it is their money to spend no matter how it may seem to others. Of course anyone doing this has no right to complain about microtransactions.

This was an issue in may, not so much since Destiny is losing the fanbase
-
They provide a service for a fee. That's not the annoying part though lol it's actually the people who buy it as trials rewards are hardly even worth it anymore

-
Use paypal because they can refund you if you get robbed ;) anyone wana make some money with me
-

-
"Pay to win is stupid, but its ok if were doing it"

Bungie is creating jobs. Get a grip.
-
I dont understand why ppl would pay now? You dont even have to win a single match to get trials gear. Just do bounties

My doctor benefits from my inadequacy in surgery. The architect of my house benefits from my inability to design a proper house. Unless you feel it is unethical then there is nothing at all wrong with this. If there is a market for this then good players can't be blamed at all.
-
Wait, wait, wait, Bungie is aloud to dry out our wallets, but we can't?
-
They can't guarantee that, so....

Edited by Odysseus: 11/10/2015 4:06:48 PMWho cares! If you're dumb enough to spunk $100+ dollars on something like this then you're the type of person who will choke on a peanut and die

Who cares If someone is desperate enough to pay for this then let them. Honestly I'm rather jealous that I'm not into this games PVP enough to be able to carry people through ToO and make money for simply playing a video game for an hr.
