[quote]Here is the bottom line for Iron Banner.
At over 2500 hours logged into Destiny 2, it is safe to say that I am not a casual player. However, the grind for iron Banner is very tedious and time-intensive, even with a dedicated team.
I want to do iron Banner because I enjoy playing Iron Banner and I don't mind working towards objectives even if it eats up most of my weekend. However, this grind for this particular iron Banner is in my opinion over the top. I want Bungie to respect my time as a player. I would love to play Iron Banner for fun instead of doing objectives where I'm forced to use different types of guns that I don't particularly like to run around with such as auto rifles and Scout rifles and other dumb weapons.
I really have lost interest in Iron Banner for the first time in Destiny 1 and Destiny 2. Why would I want to go and grind for armor that is going to come with random rolls and I'll be lucky if I get two or three drops by the time I get done with this ridiculous Quest on one character and never probably finish it on the other two characters when I can spend my time in a more substantial way inside the Menagerie getting multiple sets to drop on exactly the type of armor that I want and have a better chance of getting the types of roles that I want on that armor?
This, by the way, is exactly what is wrong with the Reckoning. I have no desire at all to go back into the Reckoning for any reason. Get together a fire team and hope that you clear the objective and get a chance to get a piece of armor that has a chance of getting the item that you want. I'm just done with it.
I'm not a hardcore gaming YouTuber. But I am a hardcore gamer when it comes to Destiny. And even this is too much for me.[/quote]
I so agree with your statement. I am at step 5, only because I want the ornaments available to me, but after doing this quest, I dont know if I want to run IB the rest of the week and on 2 more characters. This quest needed a bigger payoff and there isnt one.

There's gonna be more weeks of IB during the season, don't burn yourself out trying to do 3 chars in one week.

Edited by NeoIcarus1: 6/20/2019 9:34:04 PMAgain another person who doesnt know what a grind is. It took me almost 12 hours to complete the first 4 steps of the quest. Now I have to spend more hours just to grind the last part, 50 matches just to get the last piece of armor to unlock. I would have very much have liked to just grind the perks on all pieces of the armor for my hunter. Now I need to spend another 48 hours to grind my other 2 characters. I grind for specific perks on armor. I shouldn't have to grind to unlock the armor, but you wouldn't understand what a grind really is.

Really? You took 12 hours over 3 days to get to the last step. You have no idea what destiny grind is if you're putting in a paltry number like that. Your idea of grind must be "putting as much time as you HAVE into the game". Destiny's idea of grind is to put all your time into it. If you want to complain about having to grind the quest to unlock the armor from tokens you're playing the wrong game. I know how this game works and I know how to avoid shit like this, don't get snarky at me because you're beating your head against the wall for virtual armor.

Actually it took 12 hours to get to the last step. The last step took an hour or so, as I got a 4 win streak that got me to 80% then it completed on another 3 win streak. I did the quest to get to the armor so I could grind the IB for armor perks I want and the ornaments. The grind for perks on the armor is the REAL GRIND, not the quest. Putting armor behind a quest is absurd. The armor drops enhanced perks. I want certain perks to match my loadout. Traction on boots, Pulse loader on gauntlets and chest piece with unflinching and reserves. This is why players grind. Its no different than grinding the forges or Menagerie weapons and armor.
