Edited by UFSman: 8/3/2016 7:17:05 AMNow when sols although I agree with most of you in the vid Poe was given to us as a three man raid for all the people who could not get a six man team together to play at any one time, Yes I agree with redwing that some people play favourites but we all play like that sometimes. I do agree we need more actives that don't matter on fire team but I would be okay with another 3 man event and 6 man protal even though this would mean that those protal missions would need to be harder. Now when I never used lfg first when playing on PS3 do you know what I did when strikes forced us together in the early days I messaged people cuase if your lucky you find a person who plays at the same time as you and speaks the same language as you and before coatra hard came out I was a member of three different raid clans so it was very hard to choose who to do what with but I never played favourites. But when moving to ps4 cuase people are anti social in today's world it is hard to meet people using lfg did allow me to meet my current raid team which in this Down time is very good to still do atleast one raid a week. Now when casual fun in destiny was almost thrown out the window with the arrival of double rng and infuses ion lucky they fixed that but since the removal of reforge the motive bait ion to grind for the guns you want cuase the odds of not getting them are so great it not worth playing at the moment we need reforge to come back just so we can stop throwing away our rewards. I never threw anything away how cuase reforge allowed me to make everything rewarding i played every day for hours on end cuase it was fun and causal but now without reforge and cuase the loot pool is to big I can't be motivebaited to grind pvp for the guns I want. The way how rewards are set up in pvp is just wrong in the first place we need to reward actual play not reward the people who stand around and do nothing we need a vote to kick on strikes and a thing which actaully kicks them cuase it just makes me not want to do strikes or play at all in case I'm the one who ends up on a team with afk player or two. Do it like srl where if you did nothing you got nothing. Now when with the next update they need to revamp trials cuase people do not play it the guns have been the same for ages so new guns and I would ask them to take the 27 artifacts out of gold reward package cuase that was stupid their is one art fact for each type of burn on each type of ability so that means their are 9 on each to get so in the reward pool their is 9 artifacts in it your more likely to get a artifact than anything else and you already get enough artifacts in the game so I would say put them as a 0 light level or 280 and below on the end of matches like the year one armour it is a bit silly and makes some of us not want to even brother playing trails now with that we need to stop these elo grinders I would suggest that being able to delete the card to be taken away although this may mean we get people who leave in match just so they can get a new card quicker but when that's a choice if your just going to grind for elo.
