Non-raiders often seem unable to "get" raiding (Destiny)

I agree with many things the author said. Pieces of it echo what I've said here and other places. The viewpoint is not particularly welcome amongst Bungie, Destiny end-game fans.

I guess I've demonstrated that in my responses. Consider this, though. Trials is an end-game activity that I can't participate in successfully. That doesn't bother me at all. I think Trials is super-cool, and I'm very happy that the game has it. I don't consider myself ripped off or some such nonsense just because every pixel in the game isn't available to me.

Your progress in trials is not wiped every week. You practice, and you get better and better. That's your brain rewiring. That does not go back to zero at the end of the week. Each trials match is completely self contained, unlike the sections of the raid which are sequentially linked.

Because the trials map changes every week, you could make a legitimate argument for an incomplete card not carrying over to the next week, but I think that being allowed would be just fine.

Well, sure. I could play it all weekend every week, and I'd surely get better, and who knows, one day I could have a very lucky flawless run. I'm not committed to the time and effort that would take. When I say can't I'm saying I've got other things I'd rather do. I have no problem with anyone who feels that way about the raid, BTW, as long as they don't blame the raid.
