Tiers are still dependent on score. The dudes jumping off the map getting no damage or assists are not getting the B+ and above to drop tier fives. It’s even possible to get zero loot other than dawning essence from dropping donuts, at least in the lighthouse pool. It sucks to have teammates throwing, but people jumping off the map, going afk, or just quitting after the protection timer have been around throughout the entire five years I’ve engaged with trials. Making loot more accessible didn’t spark a new issue, and making loot less accessible again will just pull people out of the playlist. Rather than taking anything away I’d prefer to see Bungie add more incentive to 5+ streaks by adding unique origin traits to drops from the lighthouse, making tier fives from the lighthouse come with the shiny gold shader the old memento applied, and mostly cracking down on cheating to improve trials (looking at you Windows).
