If we take a look at [b]Nightfalls:[/b] - [b]Good loot[/b], people are more likely to play: The Slammer, Scintillation, Plug One.1, Rake Angle, Lotus-eater - [b]Bad or Mid loot[/b], people are more likely to skip, mostly due to having access to better options: Wild Style, Shadowprice, The Palindrome If we take a look at [b]Trials:[/b] - [b]Good loot[/b], people are more likely to play: Shayura's Wrath, Exalted Truth - [b]Bad or Mid loot[/b], people are more likely to skip, mostly due to having access to better options: Aisha's Care, Yesterday's Question, Tomorrow's Answer, Keen Thistle While some can say that it might be a powercreep issue, take in consideration that some of the mentioned are fresh options that were introduced this Episode, while others were called "dead on arrival" the first time they were introduced. Also, lets take in consideration the Strike / Map in rotation, which also aggravates this issue. This community has already demonstrate that (at least the majority of) players will go through hell if the loot is great.
