Disappointed with Rank 3 Iron Banner Rewards

I do love destiny and have been having a great time with it. And im going to make this short But i was thoroughly disappointed when I reached rank 3 with the Iron Banner and found that there were NO new rewards to be found for achieving rank 3. And all I really wanted was to be able to purchase the full set of the Iron Banner Gear, so it would look complete. But no, I was only able to buy the chest and a new shader,and the emblem. I wanted the full damn set. So Bungie, Youre telling me, that I have to play an addition trillion Iron Banner Matches, in addition to the trillion matches i just played to get to rank 3, and just HOPE that i end up getting the rest of the gear through RNG? That would require some incredible amount of luck. It even says on the Wiki page that all the items are purchased from the vendor at rank 3 reputation. I just dont get it. They really should be able to be boughten by rank 3 players. What stupid choice by Bungie if they really keep it so you cant buy the full set through the vendor. I honestly feel like I wasted my time. And A lot of it, Bungie. Whats the point of farming for a faction and if you cant even use their armor afterwards."Oh here, You can have 1 piece that doesnt go with any of the rest of your gear" Wtf? I really just dont understand it. What the point in even doing the Iron Banner if you cant get the full set? I should have been raiding What a waste of my fuking time. And Bungie, If you plan on bringing the Iron Banner back later with a different selection of rewards, so that you collect them with everytime it comes around, well then that is just a dumb fuking idea, because eventually no one will care anymore, because there is better gear to be gotten elsewhere, and the iron banner will then be irrelevant. SO yeah, I was a little pissed off. But whatever.

  • I'm shocked. All I want is the ship. I hit rank 3 and it's not even there.

  • Agree, really disappointed that I can't get the full set of Iron Regalia armor for my titan. Has anyone had the missing pieces drop? Iron Regalia Great Helm or Iron Regalia Greaves? Wish Bungie would provide some advantage on wearing a complete set of armor. Also what other drops are people getting at end of game? I've had way to many Timur's Lash hand canons (6 so far). But then I did get the Truth Rocket Launcher (exotic) drop last night.

    • Agreed. Just made it to rank 3, and all I can get are the lame gloves. Which are no better the what I already have. Do I have to hope for the armor, helmet, and boots to be in a random drop? Ugh...

      I had come the forum to write this exact post. The iron banner is totally and completely a waste of time. The rewards are not worth the effort required. I had imagined that full sets of armor and weapons would be offered by lord saladin. Instead there is only a couple pieces available with laughable perks on them. If you have raid gear there is no point at all in stepping foot into the iron banner and does bungie really expect me to get the couple of pieces of armor that are currently offered then wait till the next iron banner event? I won't even care by then and I'll have even more higher quality raid gear. The only reason I can think of to do the iron banner is to maybe get the hand cannon that drops at level 3 rep but get there without a full team to help is simply so slow and infuriating I almost broke my disc. Also who thought the whole no rewards for the loosing team was a good idea. This whole game is a mess right now and I really think bungie needs to take a step back and rethink how a lot of their games mechanics work. They can fix the iron banner but its going to require that the gear offered is of raid level quality, better perks on the armor, and full sets of gear and weapons available all from the vendor. Also the iron banner should be available all the time and have more game modes than just control. Seriously bungie did a five year old plan your special events?!

    • Yea, Iron Banner is such a waste. Guess they expect us to wait until Iron Banner comes around again to get more Iron Banner themed items. And by then I won't even care anymore.
