I just started playing Iron Banner (IB), which is to say, I have NO equipment/transmog to boost my progress. Things I see as a new player: 1. I get far more Seasonal and Crucible specific loot than IB. 2. Of the loot I have gotten, the majority has been duplicates. 2a. Script the loot drops to evaluate what the player is wearing. I have a Nezarec's Sin on, and have gotten 3 IB helmets. Nothing else has dropped for me, meaning that, functionally, I have gotten NO armor drops. Comparably, I have gotten 3 Frontier's Cry hand cannons. This is not encouraging. 3. With no control over what drops, and EVERYTHING behind the discovery wall, there is no method that I control to gather equipment to improve my IB progress. Suggested corrective actions: 1. Unlock all of the armor so that it can be purchased as the player acquires engrams. 2. Make an IB specific or intensive loot pool. While it may or may not benefit me, in a general sense, to acquire the "God Roll" Out of Bounds, it provides NO benefit for the IB. 3. Add an emblem to the purchase pool. I don't mind having to work for achievements, but being Dependent on the RNG for my progress is poor game design. If you want new players to engage in IB, it needs to be welcoming enough that they don't throw their hands up and quit. Make an advancement path that empowers the player.
