So, after about two hours of being kicked and getting the monkey code every 5-10 minutes (or weasel sending me right back to the start screen) I've given up trying to farm for glimmer & Motes. Way to go, Bungie. Nice job and letting things go to sh*t on the last day of the Iron Banner. Thankfully, for me, I've gotten the characters I wanted to the ranks that they needed, but many are not so lucky.
I WAS hoping to farm the glimmer necessary to purchase a third Jolder's Hammer and the Motes necessary to role it for void damage, but I guess that's not going to happen, now is it.
