D1 had iron banner weapons that were actually good with decent perks and even looked cool as of rise of iron. D2... had Saladin hot glue little plastic iron banner baubles to the side of second rate gunsmith weapons and call it good. Also I understand not making every piece of gear drop at powerful light, but working all the way to the milestone to only get a godd**n EMBLEM is insulting. The only way to make this acceptable is to have the emblem be a flaming pile of wolf droppings so everyone knows they're getting s**t on. Furthermore, IN RISE OF IRON THE IB WEAPONS WERE SO DOPE! THERE WAS EVEN A MIDA COMPETITOR!! DO YOU PEOPLE NOT LEARN!?

No problem with the emblem as an aspect of the Level 10 reward - but the only Level 10 reward! Pretty laughable. Where's their creativity The reward aspect just did not work this time. I'm not salty about lack of full gear sets yada yada, because in D1 it took several Iron Banners to earn a full set - the key difference was that those less frequent items were infinitely more special. More rewarding. Also 6v6 was (is?) just much more fun. The thing they forgot to put in the middle of the ideas board when designing this was that word 'fun'.
