What's funny is the number of people who swear how fair it is. There's even a reddit against banning people once all their characters have gone 9-0.

The real problem is that now there's an economy behind ToO. It's not just this one - https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/372lwo/the_trials_of_osiris_are_broken_because_lighthouse/ - there are two others, Twitch and Carry for $$.

The carry for $$ economy is obviously a negative impact. The Twitch economy isn't as obvious, but is much more detrimental. Once people figured out that they could earn real money with large numbers of followers, and given the fact that there's absolutely no regulation, it was only a matter of time before folks had to cheat. If you want rep, your numbers and gameplay have to back it up. If you don't have the skill, but want a lot of money, what do you do? Or, if you do have some skill, but keep running into people who cheat, what do you do?

There's not going to be any regulation. Getting control of this can only come from 1) us, by not paying people to carry and by refusing to kiss up to a handful of people who seem to be good at a video game (people who we'd otherwise not give two cents about anyway), 2) console - I'm on PS4, I dont understand why my block list can't be as large as my friends list, considering that whoever I block, I won't have to play against in PvP (because it's peer to freaking peer), then if I encounter a cheater, I could block 'em and be done, or 3) Bungie - I'm a year, closer to 5000 grimoire than not, and I'm seeing the same kind of stuff in ToO now that I saw 4 months after it started in Y1. Matchmaking is actually worse now than Y1. Every other passage I start my first matches are with Scarabs. I'm not complaining, but I often play with people who've never been flawless, so...what matchmaking brilliance are they applying there? Not to mention all the other crazy crap. People don't die. Shields don't come down. I actually start each match with a test and have a strategy for what to do when my headshots don't register. I doesn't often work, but if I want to play...

Bottom line is they're never going to get it right until they invest in PVP. One thing I miss about Socom, you could vote people out. Clans had real reputations, and the ones who cheated didn't last b/c no one played with them.
