Here's the bottom line on Iron Banner
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.

52 Replies3 main basic problems in Iron Banner: 1. Boring (always same game mode) 2. It is a pay-to-win scam (players who have paid $100 for base game + curse of Osiris + warmind cannot compete unless they pay even more for forsaken ($40+), and that’s not mentioning the weapon type disadvantage) 3. Sterile maps (no map updates in about a year; same shit, different day) On top of all of that, they can’t even be bothered to make a new armour set for it. Yet they always make paywalled content in eververse, a cash shop in a $200+ game. Extremely lazy and scummy, though unfortunately nothing new. Cue the deluded fanboys defending this garbage.
