I would say IB has more or less been the same for me. I was expecting to get more gear than I did. I got the cloak and boots for my hunter and then purchased the side arm and pulse rifle. I think I got one legendary boot engram but it was much more lack luster than I was expecting based on what Bungie said. On the plus side I experienced way less lag and wtf moments than in the past, do I feel like there was less lag but I didn't play a ridiculous amount and I had friends who were complaining about lag too so I am undecided if there was an actual improvent. The SS glitch I don't really consider this to impact IB as it would of still been happening if IB wasn't happening. Just an exploit/cheat that would of happened anyway. All in all I don't play a lot of pvp unless IB is around and even then I get one character to rank 5 and that is it. I'm hoping the gear drop rates really do improve so it doesn't feel like such a hassle in the future as my overall PvP experience seems to be hit and miss.
