Petition to remove Trials of Osiris from the game (not #satire)

Let me start by saying that I have absolutely nothing against the game mode itself other than its lack of matchmaking, but unfortunately the players who participate in Trials continually destroy the game for everyone else. I know it's a radical suggestion to remove an entire game type because of player behavior, but I'm not sure anyone is going to want to keep playing the shell of a game that Trials players leave the rest of us. The problem is and always will be nerfs. Since Trials inception, it has easily been the single biggest contributor to nerf posts on these forums. - Thorn was essentially erased from this game because of Trials. - Hand Cannons were AR'd because of Trials. - Pulse Rifles just got boned [i]because of Trials[/i]. - Sunbreakers were probably doomed anyway, but the loudest cries for nerfs... Trials. And as bad as all those were, now I'm seeing posts crying that Trials matches aren't fair because of MIDA and Truth. Seriously go find a Chinese hell to burn in if you're going to cry about MIDA and Truth. The point of this game was supposed to be becoming more powerful and finding more powerful and awesome weapons. MIDA has [i]always[/i] been a great counter to any "God weapon" in this game, not because it's OP, but because it's so well balanced and versatile from mid to long range. But rather than find counters like MIDA, rather than grind for your own "God weapons" if you feel you can't compete, rather than get fracking good, we've systematically destroyed every weapon and class that was ever fun in this game. Go shoot a goddamn Fusion Rifle. They're complete garbage. Collateral damage from the constant dicking over of weapons, all to "balance" one stupid PvP mode that almost no one plays. Someone post those pathetic numbers they put up a month or so ago about how few players actually compete in ToO and the infinitesimal number that have actually gone to the Lighthouse. So we're going to have all our weapons ruined in not only PvP, but PvE as well so probably less than 5% of the player base don't cry? I just don't get your thought process here Bungie. I can tell you this though, there's not one reasonable or remotely valid reason to nerf Truth, MIDA or Scouts and if that unbelievably stupid thought crosses Jon Wisnewski's mind then it's time to pull the plug on Trials. And to anyone who enjoys Trials, I'm sorry but there would be no one to blame but yourselves. Better you lose your game mode than be allowed to keep dragging the rest of this game down with your incessant crying for nerfs. EDIT: Just to clarify because I'm being accused of having put up nerf posts [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Topics/0/Default/None/%23realbalanceisnotbalanced]#realbalanceisnotbalanced[/url]

  • Auto Rifles were ruined for a full year due to the first incarnation of Iron Banner being saturated by a single weapon. Not an entire class but a single weapon. That was a great while before Trials. The problem isn't game modes when your developer is swinging the nerfbat like they're Teddy Roosevelt. However responding in kind doesn't put you on even ground. I don't participate in Trials, but by petitioning to remove it and blatantly pointing the finger and labelling players who enjoy Trials as "the problem" does not a solution make. That's not even a work-around. Trials in itself is far from a failure and to truncate that experience would be just another damning nail in Bungie's coffin. Really tried not to notice but.. Your ideas are getting a lot more radical, and a lot less feesable. I'm genuinely sorry the game frustrates you that much, and has done so for over a year. The weapon tuning needs a lot of work in the crucible, especially when new weapons roll out. I'm in no way saying that Bungie has it right. But at one point, in ONE update ages ago Bungie addressed shotguns as they pertain to the crucible and the PvE environment and made separate value changes. Why is that not an option that people consider any more?
