Petition to Modify Iron Banner Bounties

Let me preface this by saying that I think Bungie did a great job with the most recent Iron Banner changes: the "catch up" rep, increased drop rate, and new bounties are all fantastic. As much as I enjoy the new bounties and as easy as they are (even Iron Wrath), they undermine the whole point of Iron Banner. The bounties are simply not team-oriented enough and encourage selfish play. Since they are the best way to gain rep during the event, players obviously give them precedence. Unfortunately, they send the wrong message: play THIS way, not play your BEST way. If you're like me, you've also seek countless players (possible even yourself) recklessly trying to punch people to death, playing safe to avoid losing a kill streak, or popping heavy immediately to get machine gun kills. The last one is infuriating and severely jeopardizes a team's chances. If there weren't enough kinderguardians trying to take all three control points, point C on Firebase Delphi, point A on Bastion, etc. as it is, now they're trying to cap them to hit the magic number 15. If you're familiar, you're most likely also annoyed. In summation, I think Bungie needs to modify the bounties to encourage people to win matches and not just complete bounties. There will always be stupid and selfish players, but such stupidity and selfishness should not be encouraged. TL;DR: Iron Banner bounties would be much better, if they encouraged team play.

  • I don't see any of them as selfish. Capture points? Team. Kill X number of Y? Team. Accrue points? Team. Machine gun kills? Team. What is selfish about these? The only one that could be construed as not team-oriented is the 10 kills without dying, which for anyone who is good at PvP will not blink an eye at. Those who are not as skilled may be detrimental as they camp and avoid contact to try for the bounty. On the other hand, they should not be dying, so...
