Apologies for the rant, as this will be a bit ranty.

I really hate RNG. Like, it's punch the RNG person in the nads for the misery they've inflicted on me the past 2 weekends kinda dislike of RNG.

I also hate trials, like, if trials was shot from a cannon, into the sun, I'd stand, staring at the sun, T-posing, until the sweet waft of burning trials slides up my nostrils.

Now Bungo have got this idea in their silly little brain eggs that they should totally put really good PvE weapons in the most PvP of PvP modes. See also Reed's Regret.

This season it's the Cataphract GL3. This is the only big boy (heavy) grenade launcher that can roll with Bait and Switch, which is rather good at the ol' DPS increase.

So picture the scene, last week it was double crucible, so I decided on Friday "I'm gonna cause myself emotional pain and subject my very bad at PvP self to trials and nab myself a nice Baity Nade launcher, with spike, ALH or Envious assassin, and go about my weekend.

Did this happen? Sadly, and predictably, no. Fast forward to this weekend, it's Double Trials fun, so off I go, getting mullered left, right and center, getting the occasional win, very few close games, mostly 0-5, sometimes 5-0, always pain. I keep racking up that trials faction, going up the ranks, grabbing each and every engram and focussing a Cataphract.

I hit reset 5, FIVE (5) times, after using every engram to focus a Cataphract, so that's at least 80, and got quite a few (though never 7 in a row) from wins, I didn't count, but easily over 100. Until I got this niceness right here.

I really, really, really don't think that over 100 attempts at getting a weapon is really the fun and engaging activity that Bungie envisioned. Crafting is the best thing to happen in Destiny 2, at least you know you're working towards getting the roll you want, and not at the mercy of a number generating hate machine. Paul Tassi at Forbes can do one with his dislike of crafting, I'd take getting guns easier so I can use them rather than grinding something I really don't like for hours at a chance of something decent.

Thank you for your time. I really hate trials. I also probably hate Destiny.

I'll be back playing tomorrow.
