How satisfied are you with the iron banner loot system?
OK here is a poll because I'm curious to how many people feel the way I do. Personally I feel the loot system this iron banner was a complete joke.
Let's compare year 1 vs year 2 drops:
Year 1 Saladin had 2 weapons and 2 armor pieces to buy. The loot table for matches had 2 additional iron banner weapons, exotic items and all of the regular crucible gear. Which made for getting some decent drops pretty regularly once you hit rank 4 and higher. I know you could get some at rank 3. But the rate seemed to increase as you got higher. Yeah sometimes you got nothing, but at least you saw good drops going to your fellow guardians. Which gave you hope and drive to keep pushing.
Year 2 Saladin has 2 weapons and 1 piece of armor. The loot table (from what I've seen) contains only the same gear as saladin, the new ship, and a whole ton of blues that average 10-20 light levels below from being useful. Oh and let's not forget strange coins and motes of light...
The loot system is so bad year 2 that most of my hard core pvp friends have stopped bothering with iron banner. Between the lag, void bow spam and horrible rewards it hasn't been worth the effort.

4 RepliesHorrible. They took EVERYTHING that people hated about the Year One loot system....and made it the center-piece of their endgame PVP experience. 1. Poor drop rates for desired items. 2. Things that did drop frequently were largely unusable (except for weapon and armor parts) to end-game level players. WTF do end game level players need with more motes of light? ..and why did someone think that ONE mote was a reasonable reward for a Crucible match, when I can get FIVE in less than two minutes of a Public Event on patrol?? 3. They walled off desired items that didn't drop behind a wall of the most difficult to come by resource in the game: Legendary marks. So not only did I not get everything I wanted to drop....I wasn't able to buy all the things that didn't because I ran out of marks...and ran out of opportunities to earn enough before IB comes to an end. Verdict: Unqualified disaster.
