Which is a display of true skill and earning raid gear which is dropped based on rng or IB gear which is purchased after achieving a rank that is gained after completing bounties and winning some matches and the gear is purchased for ~10K glimmer each and done in at least 2 IB events (2 months time). Tried to be opinion free in my post Comment below Wow lots of comments keep them going right now it seems there are two sides 1 that both are the same skill but IB looks better 2 that both lack any skill to get and group 2 carries people through both and seem kinda snobby IMO Some good posts will be put into spoilers below [spoiler][quote]Ok, so there is many things that can be said about this. Here are my 2 cents. Both PvE or PvP you'll always find "scrubs" and/or lazy players. On both modes people take certain advantages to obtain what they want. With that being said, I'm a total PvE player and rarely been onto PvP. But I must say and admit that beating other human beings through a video game is more rewarding and takes more skill rather than beating and AI that will always be predicted no matter how much Devs try to make it as changeable as it can get. In my honest and humble opinion, I think PvP rewards specifically in Iron Banner requires more skill than a PvE event. You can't compare computers vs humans. Playing against other humans will always take more skill.[/quote][/spoiler] [spoiler][quote]It doesn't matter as long as you're playing the game and having fun. I have a full set of raid armor on all three of my characters, so I decided to try my hand at IB for a change last week. Made it to rank 5 and bought both pieces of armor, the Mark, and the Gold Spiral shader for my Titan, so now he has both types of gear. I'd probably switch back to raid boots during the raid though just for the extra rockets. Otherwise I like how the IB armor looks more than CE armor. Looking forward to trying for the gauntlets and (if it's ever released) the helm next time around.[/quote][/spoiler] [spoiler][quote]They're both different. Apples and oranges, my man. But it's pretty safe to say that those that have both the Raid and IB armor are the most well rounded players in general.[[/quote][/spoiler] i want to put the next one here because its important we see both sides so we can be better informed when forming our own opinions (and cuz many people on the app need to learn arguments have two sides) [spoiler][quote]neither? you don't need to be good to get IB gear - can literally AFC every match and get the same rep as the guy that goes 20 -5. And the raid gear - I can solo normal. Thats not a raid! I have more trouble with nightfalls![/quote][/spoiler]
