Anyone who started playing in Iron Banner this year is locked out of getting the Seal Pin
Getting 15 unique weapons takes *5 seasons* at the current rate of 2 new guns in the loot pool every season. That’s over a year, unless Xur is lucky enough to help. In the TWAB announcement, Bungie said they expect most players to need 2-4 weeks of playing IB, but hardcore players could get it in 1. The pin is only available until [b]December 31, 2022[/b].
It’s retroactive, so anyone who’s a regular will probably already have it. But anyone who joined with WQ, or season of the Haunted [i]when they announced the pin[/i], is limited by the loot pool. You can get 15 pieces of armor with 3 characters and knock out 100 wins in a single week in theory with enough hardcore playing. But you can’t grind past a limited loot pool.
For me as a pve guy, getting the pin was my motivation to actually play Iron Banner. It doesn’t seem right to announce a reward that needs progress from *before* the announcement.
I’m not asking for it to be easy, just doable.
