Bungie, why do you choose not to implement this?
Edit: [b][i][u]NO ONE[/u][/i][/b] has given [i][u][b]ANY[/b][/u][/i] good reason why freelance Iron Banner would be bad or detrimental.
If anything, it gives an option to cater to players who prefer solo.
Edit: you'll cater to the loud minority and nerf weapons and classes to crap, but you won't give more freelance options?

File this under "Things Bungie will never do". Seriously, the reason they won't is that that Bungie encourages fireteam play. Iron Banner was always a compromise because it could be played solo. It was also way, way less rewarding compared to fireteam activities like raids and Trials. There is a big difference between fireteam optional and fireteams not welcomed. Bungie is on the side of clans, fireteams and forming social bonds.

Why play a video game alone? Isn't that boring? Your playing the wrong game my friend

Or just match teams against teams like almost all other competitive fps on the market.

While it obviously wouldn't hurt me if they added this. Dividing the player base into different playlists for IB isn't super great. It'll increase matchmaking times and so forth but that's not a super big issue. Bungie hasn't ever really catered to solo players though since this is a team-focused game, so this is just par for the course, really.

Id be up for some of that.

Destiny is suppose to be a team game, they promote fireteams and clans for everything. Freelance was a second thought that should have been left out.

Horrible idea

Awesome idea!

Edited by Kone19ps: 10/5/2016 8:55:36 PMFreelance was a consolation to solo players. It's against their team philosophy and is likely the reason we see it rarely and very limited. They also made it almost always 6v6 or 3v3 so with game type specific bounties a randomized playlist isn't going to see much use. Then low play numbers from then bossing against will probably lead to bungie being able to say "well it didn't work out." When they barely have it a chance to thrive

Their philosophy is to have friends and team up together and play. I've noticed that almost everything in this game has to do with playing other guardians. Plus it sometimes can get things done faster when you're playing with guardians.
