Reviewing Destiny 2 booster services

I can already hear the angry mobs, ready with their pitchforks and torches. But please, hear me out. Some of us have busy lives, or emergencies, or are just not able to do things for one reason or another but still want some of the otherwise unachievable (by ourselves), to become achievable. With current family health problems over the past few years I haven't had time to do everything that I have wanted in Destiny 2 but some of these things are things that can affect other aspects of the game such as season ranking, build-crafting, and many more. I don't condone the use of services that break the Terms and Conditions of a game. But I do condone ones that follow the rules, and still help out the player in need.
If a boosting service provider only offers a piolet'd assist [requiring your login details] I would avoid it at all costs. To me, that is just too risky, but the risk is yours to take or not, and I am not here to tell you how to live your life. That said, the booster services I chose offered both self pilot/ sherpa, and piolet'd choices for most of their services. These are the ones I have chosen, because of their rating overall online at sites like Trustpilot (A whole other can of worms to talk about another time).
There are 3 main booster services I have seen heavily advertised for Destiny 2. Kingboost, Skycoach, and LFCarry. They all have their positives and negatives. Let me just say I was heavily skeptical of doing this at all. Having heard horror stories and being told by everyone everywhere online that it is bad, a scam, etc. But I felt it was important to give it a try, and to let others know overall what the experience was like. This way, others can make a better informed choice when or if they chose this path as well.
With a customer service/ quality assurance background and some spare time on my hands for the first time in a long time, I devised a rating system based on 7 different criteria. Service provided by the ones doing the boost. Support from their customer service/ support teams. Price range for different services and variety of services. Communication from the boosters and customer service. Availability and overall time it takes to start and finish the assignment. Honesty about their services and ability to perform them. Finally, the ability to come to a reasonable Resolution when faced with problems.
I placed 2 orders with each, waited a few days (all the sites say they start orders in 15-30 min) and canceled orders or changed them in lieu of cancelation. To test their resolution capabilities. Each boosting service provider was given one simple clear request (master raid, GM nightfall and the like) and one grinding order such as exotic raid dropped weapon. The following are the final ratings using a 5 star rating system based on the boosting services provided.

My final conclusion to this trial of these services is that they can be of use, but need to update their timeframes, most of their communications, and that some services are just not worth the time, effort, or money put into them. Though the overall score shows LFCarry as the highest rated, I have found myself going back to Kingboost because of their overall customer service experience. Though they may have some of the same issue as the others, especially communication between a booster and the player, they made up for it with great service skills. LFCarry has the best overall score because their setup is the most streamlined with everything on their site, so no discord or the like to deal with, and they reacted the most promptly and made sure to communicate with me the most. The boosters didn't make assumptions, not jumping into game expecting you to just be ready at a moments notice, but worked with me to better setup a time and always made sure to let me know when they were getting on or getting ready so that I could also be prepared. Lastly LFCarry offers streaming of all their services as far as I could tell from what I saw, meaning that you can see not only your perspective but that of the one who was boosting you, or if you chose to have them piolet your character, you could see everything they did on your account.
