They can easily stop that if they want, just lock players out once you go flawless. Bungo will never do it though. Once I go flawless, I stay out. I never went back in during D1 and I plan to do the same in D2.

Report them for illegal activity. It's against Bungie's and both PSN's and XBL's ToS.

Simple Solution: Buy the weapons / gear you want directly from Everworse. BungleVision- super pleased, as they round-up a previously stray income stream. 🤑🤑🤑 Purchaser - super happy; jumped the queue on a 'Fast Forward' ticket...just like in Di$neyland. 😎 FWIW: I think this is excellent - if one can afford it. The queue for Space Mountain at nearly 100degs and a seemingly endless 'snake' will make a convert out of anyone! 😅 Touts - deeply distraught. 🐒 B-b-but dat's Pay-to-Win!?! 😱 Maybe...or it also may be the lessor of two evils... 👹😇 🙄 Hmmmm?!? 🤔 PS Or they could 'fix' Trials with a 3-tiered system, or similar, as was suggested many, many times (by me, and others') in D1, as follows... Tier 1 Get 9x wins accumulated over the course of the weekly event; once per a/c. Once done - collect T1 emblem/loot/ shader. If desire to play more, advance to.... Tier 2 Play card as normal (9:0) for Flawless T2 emblem/shader/loot; 1 per each^ Character per a/c. If desire for more, advance to.... Tier 3 Top winning team at reset get T3 emblem/shader/loot + names on new Wall of Fame for all to see and marvel. It's a Win:Win all round! T1 will be bursting at the seams with very happy and fun-filled Guardians! T2 will let the stompers meet each other to stomp until their little hearts* can take no more. T3 will sort the wheat from the chaff; and, would be fun to watch, too! You're welcome. 🤡 *sp correction / edit 1 ^ added for clarity / edit 2

[quote]Searching through the find fireteam section for stuff like trials, I keep coming across people who are blatantly misusing your (Bungie's) service right under your noses. Charging people $25+ to play a game, for flawless trials, etc. This is absurd. And just the same, Xbox and PSN need to crack down too. This needs to stop. If you are such a player, one who charges; then by all means entice others to watch your twitch streams and YouTube accounts. But don't charge people to play a game you have NO rights to.[/quote] Sounds to me you're just a casual who's upset they can't get carried for free. Moma always said if you're good at something you should never do it for free.

It's likely because they DDoS or lag switch or cheat in some other way. They really can't guarantee a flawless run otherwise. They need the money so that when they get caught and banned, they buy the game again and start up on a new account. Probably the reason why Bungie doesn't crack down on them, because they get more money out of it.

Exactly, its BS and a scam. I never went flawless in D1 and don't exactly like playing crucible. But occasionally, there are things in Trials or IB that I want, so I suffer through. Unfortunately, in D2 Trials, I don't just want the AR or the armor, I want to experience the Nine's realm. Seeing as how these gametypes are plagued by "sweaties," it forces my hand to look for an outright carry or at least one where I'm of use. I'm not the best pvp guardian but I'm not the worst. It is infuriating to see people abusing a game like these people though. They have no right to charge people to play a game they have no rights to. They aren't Bungie or Activision, they can milk players all they want, it's their game. Players like them need to be shut down and possibly banned; and Activision/Bungie/foolish guardians should go after them for the money that these thieves got.

Don't pay them do it yourself stop crying cause you can't get carried for free

If people want to pay for that emblem, let them. Because that's all flawless is now, an emblem lol

Why would Sony crackdown on players when the feature is built(shareplay) into the PS4? The only ones who hate this are players who are trash and count afford the $ to have someone play or carry them. You either 1 get good or 2 get a job.

I'm not sure what's worse, the people who charge or the people dumb enough to pay it. Once you've been flawless you shouldn't be able to get another card on that character

unfortunately they cant do much about it, save for account recoveries; you can and should report those to MS/PSN for ToS violation.

I know there is a lot to hate about this subject. I am of the same opinion as you. However....there is no set policy by Bungie that prohibits people from advertising paid services, that pertain to the game, on the forums. At least not any that clearly define the issue. They are, like it or not, in no way violating any rules at current. If they were the Forum Ninjas, we have seen how quick they are, would have dealt with them already. And even so there would not be any way for Bungie to really stop them. You think Destiny is the only game where pay to carry happens? Sadly it is not....... My advice? Ignore the Pay-to-Carry posts (as hard as that will be to do) and move on to finding a team. Or better yet? Maybe just join a Clan that way you won't need the forums or LFG. Wish I had better suggestions for you, but options are limited.
