Rank 5 Iron banner is pretty underwhelming.

I find it very sad that once you hit Rank 5, There are no options of getting to rank 6, and so on like you can with every other faction. I was really looking forward to some Rank Up Rewards that Iron banner was gonna give, Possibly giving me some of that really cool looking gear. (The Helm, Auto Rifle, Sniper Rifle, ect ect.) But that isn't the case any more. On my journey to rank 5 I've obtained two MG and the Hand Cannon, and I've witnessed about maybe 8 weapon drops for other people in the games in total time. My question is now... 1. What keeps me from bailing on the losing team? Rep doesn't matter any more, I'd have a quicker time finding a new game where a team is winning. (Edit: No point to do bounties unless you want exp, they don't give rep either.) 2. Are the Helmet / Chest piece in this? This also goes for the other weapons. (Sniper, Autorifle, Rocket, ect ect.) Or do I have to wait for another Iron banner for this loser to sell me that kinda gear? (let alone grind up to rank 5 again..?) 3. Why the hell does Firebase Delphi pop so often on this damn mode? I've played it at least a 3rd to half of my games, which is horrible. Any ways, If any one can feels like answering the few questions. I'd be more than happy. Sorry to burst your bubble about the beyond rank 5 possibilities!

    Yeah once you hit rank 5 man i dont really see a reason to keep playing the Banner. I am almost rank 3 on my hunter. I just need the gloves to hit 30 so once i get 4 and get my gloves i get to hop on my warlock and start the rep grind all over again. My lock needs the gloves and boots. On the other hand. Doing the bounties seem almost effortless as i just have a genuinely good time playing Iron Banner so they just kinda roll in while i sit and grind like 20 matches without leaving my chair haha. I love also how the crucible bounties can be completed in Iron Banner. Thanks to this i completed leveling my Ice Breaker, Vision of Confluence, and almost have my The Last Word maxed. Im a sucker for xp grinds and this shit might as well be double xp. Also last night i got Forgotten Shores literally 5 times in a row. Its my favorite map though so i was happy with that.

      • You don't have to keep playing iron banner if you're only in it for the rewards. That's basically it.
