Boycotting Iron Banner

Iron banner has become routine, as well as the default event since Bungie has failed to produce any new event types. The real issue with IB is that the rewards are not commensurate to the amount of time necessary to rank up each time the event pops up. The weapons are straight up garbage...honestly I've never seen a player using IB weapons in either PVE or PVP settings. I gave them the old college try and found they were inferior to legendary's that I could simply purchase from the various vendors. Event weapons should at least be comparable if not slightly superior to purchased weapons. IB should offer a complete set of lvl32 gear. Some could be purchased through leveling up and others through random drops from completing matches. Currently, the only offered gear are 32 gloves and 31 chest. The chest is immediately useless as you can purchase same lvl gear from vendors. Honestly, my question is why invest time in this event at all when there really is no reward for doing so. Complete waste of time...and the few raid groups that I run with (largely all lvl 32) simply feel the same. The cap stone event in Destiny will always be Hard Mode Raid, therefore, it is a great injustice o players to not give them the ability to attain max rank through gear, other than a chance at a random drop once per week. A limited time event, such as IB, would be ideal to help fill in the gaps of armor that someone is missing. By giving the ability to fill in said gaps its helps a player that routinely gets only shard drops from raids instead of gear (which is infuriating when team members get two and three raid sets in drops). Bungie is all about balance...well here is a chance to bring balance to their crappy unbalanced loot system. As for me and my crew, we've decided to simply boycott the event all together...our time is worth something to us...and spending large amounts of time for zero reward simply doesn't add up.

  • Illustrates the need to level up any armor or weapon as you see fit and to give us something to do besides whacking each other--like the Eris Urn of Sacrifice quest. That was the closest thing to an "event" that I've seen yet and I love how the Hive characters persist on Earth.

  • Well if you could get 32 only through iron banner then there would be even more clueless people in the hard raid. The rewards are definitely not worth it but the 2nd iron banner was done right. Only two pieces to 36 light.

  • Ib is really just a huge glimmer/mote sink. They want people to have to spend time farming glimmer to buy average gear that doesn't even break down into anything, and it slows progression. And people dump hundreds of motes of light into the perfect rerolls, so you can't buy engrams from xur ..... Think about it...

  • I agree. I don't have enough time to level up in the IB and the rewards don't offer any incentive to call in sick or ignore my children so I can get it done.

    • DeeJ - I see most of the trending topics at the moment are about how Bungie and you don't listen to us about feedback. I would love I see a development board and timeline of the player feedback features you have implemented and are going to implement. Or a poll in the forums with voting system for the community to vote for the next feedback feature you have time to implement. Let us know what you are actively working on. What are some your favourite suggestions from us. Write a blog about it weekly. Anything. Keep us engaged.

      • Lvl 32 gear? No. You shouldn't get any gear or weapons at all in my opinion. But full 32 gear. You think some day 1 nude should be able to just buy himself 32 gear after a weak in the game, come on now we only get to run the raid once a week to hope for a piece of gear, even if we get one piece every week it would take a month to get every piece, and that's if you luck out. But you want to just hand out lvl 32 gear? Maybe next time they will give you the boots you big baby.

        • The day I logged In and saw they reset my iron banner rank I vowed never to participate again. Instead of reseting the content I've played they should just give us new content.

        • You covered many things I agree with and things I didn't agree with. First off, yes there should be full lvl 32 cap gear because what about the people that like crucible more? Let them get there own armor thats harder to aquire Jolders Hammer Peruns fire efrideetes Spear and Timlurs lash are all amazing. You can reforge the weapon for any perks of your choosing. IB is amazing. I've seen countless exotics and legendaries being awarded and I even got a couple myself. Just keep the KDR up and your fine

          • There could be two sets. A thirty one set and a thirty two set. The difference? The thirty two set requires materials from the current raid, so like if IB happens during HoW then you would still have to do the raid. Bungie's current problem right now is their unintentional nullification of resources to help us get to level cap, or things to do for end game.

          • I don't play it because I've always thought the PvP in this game is garbage. Only a few game modes with no custom games? No permanent ranking system? Rewards afk'ers? No incentive to try because everyone gets the same BS RNG rewards. Everyone running around aimlessly trying to complete whichever PVP bounty they may or may not have. It's just a clusterduck to be honest. Not sure how they went from Halo to this.

            • I like using the scout rifle in larger pvp maps. The auto rifle is pretty much shit. It's impact is WAY too low. It's stats should be compare able to the shadow price or suros or vanquisher.

              • Why should you get all 32 gear from IB when you could do the raid.

                  • You lost me here: [quote]The weapons are straight up garbage...honestly I've never seen a player using IB weapons in either PVE or PVP settings. [/quote] My IB fusion rifle charges faster than any fusion rifle I've ever owned, and with the perk rolls I shred shit both in PvP and PvE. And don't get me started on how good Timur's Lash is in both settings, also.

                    • But I want a full set of IB gear... I need the helmet... Y U No like to look different from everyone else? Crucible needs 32 gear that is separate from PvE. You can't cheat in PvP like you can in PvE. If IB is the only way to get it, bring on the IB.

                      • Leveled to 5 by just playing Saturday and Sunday. That isn't that long. The pistol is pretty beast also as long as you rolled the perks you like. Sniper rifle has one of the most impact in sniper rifles.

                        Bruh clearly you dont own a Jolder's Hammer or a Perun's fire... To dare say thay IB weapons suck. Maybe Its just that you aren't good enough on pvp to have the consistency to level up the rank and get IB gear. But I must say the prices on IB gear are outrageous. They should been brought down a least 10 to 20%.
