Not an exaggeration and a very big daytoday problem <| sep |> This post is not a discussion on Destiny ' s matchmaking , and is not intended to answer any questions regarding the state of Trials other than how many people are playing ? That said , the idea that 25 percent of the PVP player base flees to Trials every weekend to escape SBMM which is just the current community boogeyman IMO is ludicrous to me . I believe around 15 percent of accounts go flawless each week , based on previous posts to the sub , and that number is probably pretty consistent based on the structure of the activity . Finally , there is danger in a dev listening to only the vocal minority andor streamers . The latter , especially , are representative of a tiny fraction of the overall user base . While that ' s not to say streamers don ' t matter , it ' s important to keep perspective that their experience in Destiny is going to be very different from the average player .
