Thankfully, an entirely cool bunch of random players on here have helped me through the complicated, time-consuming trawl of the Iron Banner tournament. Those, along with Google, have provided me with far more information about Destiny than the developers. Sorry to sound like a whiner but Y U MAKE NO SENSE?!
I was trying to figure out why the IB stock had not refreshed for the opportunity to buy other things and why I had not seen anyone else get anything IB related as rewards. Not once, in no less than a hundred games. Then, as I was wandering through the pvp, dazed, confused and monotonously repeating the same damn matches over and over again, a buddy said;
"Yeah, you get random IB loot after rank 2."
"How do you know this?" I asked, ensuring I read over the IB Bungie post once again to ensure I had not missed anything.
"I google it." He replied.
Can you PLEASE explain to us what is happening. Can you PLEASE tell us straight if it is NOT a no holds barred match where gear matters.
Please tell us if it is a 7-day-grind-or-bust. Tell us how the loot works. Make it make sense.
C L A R I F Y - if possible, before the event.
Thanks.

Edited by aboniks: 10/13/2014 4:53:26 AMThe struggle is real. This black-box development style may work really well when you're trying to protect super-secret IP six months from release, but it's a poke in the eye to people actually trying to play the game. Show and tell, Bungie. Your NDA shouldn't extend to the basic rules and mechanics of the world and our characters. Just showing us on-screen us how much XP we need/get for tasks, kills, and milestones would be a nice place to start ([b]don't stop there[/b]). Whoever told you that sharing this sort of basic detail was going to scare away the punters had their hat on the wrong end of their torso.
