Ok so, I've actually done the math. With an 11x multiplier (not accounting for the 18 games needed to complete all 4 challenges), it takes[b] 30-50 games of Iron Banner[/b] to reset ONCE. If we assume that an IB match will take 7 minutes, that equates to [b]3.5-5.8 hours straight[/b] of just IB (not accounting for time spent in matchmaking/etc). If you're going for the shader, these numbers are doubled. All of these games need to be done within 2 separated weeks, or else the shader obtained at rank 16 will be permanently unobtainable. I should not have to play 60-100 games of Iron Banner to obtain a shader, and I should not be awarded a measly 200-300 points each game WITH AN 11x MULTIPLIER. Can we at the very least just get more points per game so that 30-50 games isn't required for a single reset?

I was only 536 rep away from my second reset when the weekly reset hit. Boom, now I cannot ever get the shader simply because I didn’t want to waste time going to the tower to grab it. Bungie should really figure out a way to auto claim those rewards when reset happens. Like, I EARNED the shader, I just didn’t freaking go to the tower to claim it. Super upset about it

I decided to go for the seal this week, which I skipped prior because I dont care for rift (eruption isnt much better). On Friday alone, I played I think 34 straight games. Saturday i had to play 17 more to get the second reset. And that's not counting the Tuesday through Thursday games I played. It was an absolute slog.
