Yeah, I know what you mean man. Going flawless can be rough due to lack of skilled MM, and some people have the benefit of ToO opening up in evening after work like I do, so if the ToO map that week is terrible like this weeks one is, my team and I can just go in early whilst other teams are still figuring out how to play on the map, win our 9 games, get our rewards and then bail.
I enjoy playing PvP but ToO on Pantheon is NOT fun, we saw no reason to play on it with our alts because we knew that it would turn into a mess once people started to camp.
Don't worry about man, I know what you mean. The whole 3 man thing sounds good in practice but it really ends up cutting people out of things. Having a 3v3 PvP mode with hefty rewards tacked onto it encourages good players to pretty much stick with people they know since they'll get the rewards quicker and easier.
You have good guys like Zoba and Unstable helping out people without teams to get to the lighthouse, but most people aren't willing to do that, they want their rewards then they want to leave asap, especially in a week like this with a terrible map, people, myself included, lack to will to play more than they need to.
If trials was 6v6 then the pressure to succeed wouldn't be as much and people would be more open about who they have on their team, not to mention maps like Pantheon would be more tolerable to play on, but I'm not sure if the rewards would be as good since more players would be getting to the lighthouse than there is now. I wouldn't mind keeping the rewards the same, but whether Bungie would want that is a totally different matter.
