Securing a flawless victory in Destiny 2’s Trials of Osiris not only brings with it bragging rights in the server but also an array of exclusive rewards. And, for those looking to turn their winning ambitions into reality, Destiny 2 Trials carry services are on hand to deliver everything you need. With that being said, this can often be a murky world filled with scams and other traps ready to fleece you of your items and cash. This is why we here at Gamelevate thought we would take a look at all things Trials Carries, giving you everything you need to know about how to partake safely in these services whilst protecting your investments and account.
Understanding Trials Carries
Essentially, Trials revolve around a high-level player or team helping out another player in achieving wins in Trials of Osiris. Players look for these carry services to help improve their skills in the service, see how a pro experiences the game and naturally pick up the loot that comes from more wins in the game. But, whilst all of this sounds great, there are countless platforms out there that are nothing but dirty scammers…
Spotting The Red Flags
So, how do you go about identifying a scammer service? Here are some of the most common red flags associated with less-than-reputable Destiny 2 Trials carries:
- Unrealistic promises: Remember the age-old saying: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Be wary of any service promising flawless victories for a remarkably cheap rate.
- Keeping things hidden: Reputable service providers should always be upfront and honest about how much things cost, the processes involved, the length of time it’ll take for these processes to play out etc. If a service isn’t clear on those, treat it as suspicious.
- Anonymous services: Platforms should always have a paper trail of contacts you can follow. If you can’t find a service online or anyone associated with it, it’s a good sign that this platform is less than verified.
How To Check Carry Providers
Going through the process of checking out a carry provider is an essential step in ensuring that your money is well spent and you’re about to receive a worthwhile experience. The first place to start is by digging into the provider’s reputation within the Destiny 2 community. Have they been blacklisted by a number of Reddit forums, do they have a poor score on Trustpilot, did you see a review stating something like: ‘Do not work with these guys, they are definitely scammers’? As well as a string of positive reviews, a reputable carry service should also have several social media handles that they are active on, engaging with the community and demonstrating that they are genuine. Memes are always a good sign of this we’ve found.
Also having a means of getting in front of the teams working for these providers is crucial in vetting a legit Destiny 2 carry service. Do they have a live support option? A phone number, email address, office location or any other means of getting in touch? And, if these things are in place, are their responses actually helpful in resolving your issue and ensuring a smooth customer experience?
Payment Methods
Let’s talk money. Having a good customer service reputation is one thing, however, when it comes to your cold hard cash, the stakes are undoubtedly taken up a notch. Here are some quick tips on ensuring your money is in safe hands with a Destiny 2 carry provider:
- Safe payment options: Providers should always have a secure and reversible means of depositing, be it PayPal or credit card.
- Risky payment requests: Further on from the point above, no genuine company on Earth should be asking for you to make payments via gift cards, cryptocurrency or any other irreversible or outside-the-norm means.
- Deposits: Whilst deposits can negate a lot of the risk of bigger investments, for something as relatively small as purchasing a carry service it’s a red flag to see vague deposit options on a platform.
Signs Of Scams
Here are some more general signs of scams associated with Destiny 2 trials carries:
Immediate Payment Demand
There’s no reason for a provider to immediately be hounding you about payment, whether it’s a deposit or the full whack.
Requesting Personal Information
Whilst a provider that doesn’t require you to log in with an account should be viewed as a red flag, it’s also suspicious when one requests too much personal information. A legit provider will never ask for your account login details.
A Lack Of Clarity
If you have a particular question about anything from depositing the payment to the process in-game and the only responses you receive from a provider are vague canned responses, consider that a warning sign.
Best Practices When Using Carry Services
Keeping A Record
It’s always worth keeping a record of all your agreements and communications with a carry service provider. Keep screenshots establishing the payment, timelines and your expectations – these bits of evidence will prove invaluable for fighting your case if anything goes pear-shaped.
Understanding The Service Agreement
Make sure you know exactly what your carry service includes and the options available should they not meet the expectations you’ve agreed upon. Take the time to look up policies around things such as unsuccessful runs, retry limits, eligibility specifics and any deadlines reserved for refund requests.
Keeping Expectations Realistic
Finally, it’s always worth remembering what a carry service can realistically achieve. Even the most skilled of players can have off-days, and everything from disconnects to random matchmaking can mean you end up without the outcomes you were looking for. It’s always worth keeping that in mind before, during and after deciding to invest in one.
