Hey Cleveland/Golden State. After you win the NBA Championship this year, why don't you lose all the games in the first half of your next season to give other teams a chance to make it to the playoffs.
If you have a hot wife, break up with her at the 10 year mark to give other guys a chance to tap that sweet ass.
You drive a Lamborghini? Leave the keys in the ignition with the door open every now and then to let other people experience a fine automobile. You'll get so many thank you notes.
Pay it forward, booster.

Lmao awesome. 1000 points.

How can you compare the NBA or a Lamborghini to a video game?

[quote]How can you compare the NBA or a Lamborghini to a video game?[/quote] He's not comparing them. He's simply using analogies related to those particular subjects to make a valid point related to the OP.

At the same time, [b]This. Is. A. Game.[/b] In no way is he advocating this to real life. He just wants others to experience the lighthouse. And then you have to ask yourself "has anyone ever let ME win in any ToO match?" It you take ToO seriously enough to deny wins when you've already won, you're a fruitless try hard.

Owned all the weaklings in this thread.

In all honesty LeBron is doing the same thing these carrying players are doing..throwing his team on his back and backpacking them.
-
You don't play the same season twice, idiot
-
I said next season.
-
Yea, I saw. Each week of trials is a new season. Playing trials the same week twice, isn't.
-
Oh. I was speaking of the next in basketball in my pathetic attempt at an analogy.
-
I agree with this guy lmfao well said!

-
Nice comparison of real life with a video game.

Please read: No it isn't. No they don't. Yes, why are you finding this difficult to understand? Your argument is flawed, because it demonstrates a fundamentally flawed view of how Trials works. You are assuming that talent is EQUALLY distrubuted and that everyone who enters the contest has an equal chance of running into someone that will beat them. Simply not true. Matches are made based on CONNECTION SPEED. So who you play is a product of who LIVES near you, and thus has has a similar ping time. So you could live in densely populated area and have a high chance of running into a buzzsaw....or in a sparsely populated one, and a lower chance of doing so. Plus as players get their gear, most good players will "cash out" and move on to other parts of the game....or comeback to "backpack" lesser players. So ANYONE who plays late in the week will ALWAYS have less of a chance of running into a team that beats them. The gear that is dropping in Trials is OPTIMIZED for pvp. The "Adept" versions just have elemental damage thrown in, in case the owner wants to go play end-game PvE and not have to change gear. This is not about the Lighthouse. It is about a small subset of VERY good players that are ALREADY better than most....THEN being given gear that then MAGNIFIES that gap. You will slowly create a situation where others can't compete. That is why sports league don't let last year's champions go FIRST in the draft. Which is why professional sports leagues sho more parity and more competitiiveness than their college sports counterparts. College athletics employ a winner-take-all approach....which is why all major college sports are DOMINATED by a small number of programs. That hand the championship hardware back and forth between them. Trials is headed in that same direction.

Jesus Christ, this crap again? Just copy and pasting from last week? Here's one we didn't get into before: why is the sparsely populated town filled with a bunch of scrubs but the big city has all the swinging dicks? Why is the talent pool based on the size of your city? Not to mention the sports analogy is just as ridiculous as it was last week. Find some new material. Use something that makes sense next time.

The Messenger is the same as the old three little words. Many of the weapons are near copies of crucible weapons sold at one point. The guns from trials have the exact same roll regardless of elemental damage. You need what, 6 wins to get the weapons if that? Whatever is at the silver package. And that allows you to lose three times (with mercy). That gear you call optimized for PvP is "available" (for sale, or through the packages) to all at a reasonable requirement. Flawlessly gets you one of a few things: -The Emblem. Most PvE end-game gives you special emblems. -Weapon with elemental damage. -Etheric Light. -passage Coins

Thanks for the explanation. Understanding is only reached through confrontation.
-
Does it take half a season to go dick around in the Trials for three matches, or are you being dramatic?
-
Your analogy isn't quite right. I'm saying If I've already done flawless, I can't do flawless again that week, so I can't achieve anything else. Therefore I'm not giving up my car or wife or losing the first three games next week(losing games next season).
-
It's real world boosting: giving people things that they normally wouldn't have because of lack of skill, education, money, etc. Shouldn't the Best of the Best have something special that sets them apart or do we make everybody winners which gets rid of the losers which means that no one really wins anything. Why even have Trials? Let's petition Bungie to get rid of Trials and just make the Lighthouse a new location.

I'm gonna guess you're pretty far right on the political compass.
-
Dead middle, actually. A bit of both.
-
You think so?
-
You're basing my political viewpoint on one post?

There's money in the nba, not so much in skrubs going through ToO. It's a touching idea
