The changes to the loot drops are good for the overall player base, but I think you should add cosmetic ornaments for flawless players so the sweats have something to dig for.
As of right now you guys took away the incentive to go flawless entirely, along with the sense of accomplishment in doing so. Adding some cool Trials weapon/armor ornaments that you can only get after 7 flawless consecutive wins would be a good way to keep the sweats happy without breaking the game. Adept weapons is more than enough reward for casuals.

The most important change imo: Glows no longer granted/taken away weekly. Glows are now consumables (similar to chroma, age of triumph ornaments, D1 Trials ornaments, Black Armory cores, etc.) and you get one guaranteed when entering the lighthouse after a seven win streak (once a week). Additional glow consumables may be earned similar to current system with vehicles/emblems. Consume one glow consumable on any piece of Trials gear (and exotic ornaments that also accept Trials glows) to permanently unlock one color of glow for that piece of gear (will be a universal ornament for armor and simply be an extra “mod” slot for weapons and vehicles, like the Black Armory ones have): you may switch out glows with no penalty. This would add tons of things for players to grind for: just getting one glow on all of their Trials gear would likely take months or longer for most players Other things they should consider: -Skimmer please. Sparrows are nearly useless in the game right now, endgame rewards should not be worse than buying a vehicle from Xur for 97 strange coins. Either that or make sparrows have more use cases. -Holochips. Kinda the reincarnation of the D1 “auras.” Would be nice to get these from endgame sources -Flawless armor set that looks visually distinct (like D1 and Trials of the Nine). Earn from 7 win streak lighthouse chest and wins afterward. -New adept mods/buffs to current adept mods to compete with the new suite of weapon mods (not cosmetic but adepts are essentially useless in the game rn besides specific weapons like fusions) -Exotic weapon/armor ornaments that match the Trials aesthetic and accept trials glows (see Outbreak, The Colony, and Ace of Spades)
