Alright, since some of you aren't getting it, I'll edit this so it's just the basics, since so many of you are complaining about length.
So I played a round of Iron Banner, happy to see that it came back. I played, got to the top of the game, and stayed there to the end. I was sort of proud of how well I did. So I go to the rewards screen, and I get nothing. Two guys that did an alright job got really powerful gear, and some extras. Aside from the rewards guaranteed to the winners (Marks and Sterling Treasure), I got nothing at all.
Now, I know a lot of people don't get it. "What, were you expecting all the rewards? My god, quit whining, you self-absorbed wanker." No, I never said that, I don't know where you're getting that conclusion from.
My problem was that I got literally nothing. I'd have been happy with even a single Strange Coin or a single Mote of Light, or even an Armor Shader that I'd most likely discard. Believe it or not, I'm actually completely content with getting what most would consider crap. My problem is the fact that I got nothing, that the RNG allows such a thing to be a possibility for any unfortunate soul who plays his best and expects maybe a humble reward.
You see, when I go into a game, I expect to have fun and come back with something that doesn't make it feel like a complete waste of time. It wasn't too much fun, and despite the guaranteed rewards, I came back with nothing.
So many of you don't understand that, and I still don't know why. Instead, I get a few mature comments from a few mature people, but then I get the entire Morton Salt Factory dumped on my thread by some of the most toxic people that have ever existed on a single video game.

What's funny is after reading the post, I changed my answer from don't care to don't change it. It's RNG, man. How you play has literally no effect on your rewards. With that in mind, you shouldn't ever expect any. Now I know that you're saying that should change, but if they do scale rewards to match performance, there's a LOT of crap players that will get nothing but deaths. They do this in order to maintain the ability to get any drop regardless of skill or ability. I'm typically top 3 on my team and lots of times I get squat. It's not great but I just play again and typically get something. Of all the things that need changing, I'm putting this rather low on the list.
