I hope Trials comes back ... (Destiny)

I'm just frustrated that there's a piece of Destiny I'll never get to visit

This is something I've made my peace with.

Two or three Iron Banners ago, I decided I really wanted one of the reward shaders, only it was locked behind like, rep two or three. So Nomis and I jump in, and for the next two hours, lose literally every single game we play. Some were blowouts. Some were just too close. Some were decidedly in the bag, and then out of nowhere in the last thirty seconds, we'd get crushed. Every. Single. Game. For two hours. And I already don't like PVP.

Naturally, we accumulated a bunch of those rep tokens or whatever that boost your next win. Which we eventually DID manage to get. And when we returned to the tower to see how much of an impact it actually made? Not enough for it to be worth hours of frustration.

That's when I decided I was ok not having that shader. That I was ok not winning Iron Banner. That I would be ok never playing Trials or setting foot in the Lighthouse (whatever it is, I haven't cared to look). That I'm ok never owning Gjallarhorn (I was short three coins), or numerous other exotics.

There is so much of Destiny to play, and the sandbox is fairly giant. Why should I suffer PVP, or get frustrated over items I don't have, or spend time chasing a random drop, when I can enjoy the huge swath that's been handed to me on a platter? The simple fact was, I would've had far more fun in those two hours chasing bounties, running Patrol on Mars, or playing the same dozen or so Strikes over and over again.

There are things in Destiny I will never see, never do, and never have. I'm ok with that, I've made my peace with it, and my playtime has become substantially more enjoyable as a result.
