One of the main reasons Iron Banner and Trials of Osiris are being discontinued for legacy consoles is so the support resources can be dedicated elsewhere. I'm sure you've noticed the past several IBs and ToOs have had major issues and delays, and fixing them took a lot of resources. If those were to continue on legacy consoles, all those support resources would need to remain in place. Without a revenue source from legacy consoles (no more paid DLC), paying for legacy console support becomes an exercise in robbing Peter to pay Paul.
Another thing to keep in mind (and I've been posting this or something like it on every legacy console thread I respond to): the legacy consoles are old. They are older than iPhones and the Android operating system (great, now [b]I[/b] feel old). No one expects phone companies or phone manufacturers to provide support or resources for cell phones that old, so why should it be different for gaming consoles?

I'm not asking for Iron Banner and Trials of Osiris to continue. I'm asking for crucible playlists that are Similar to them. Or at least some kind of way to continue getting Iron Banner and Trials of Osiris gear that we have currently already paid for access too. Only the Year Two and possibly the Year One stuff. Nothing really big and new and not the actual events themselves. :)

I understand, I was just offering some explanation as to why they aren't going to be continued on legacy consoles. I don't have any particular problem with your suggestions. However, I'd recommend upgrading, as Microsoft has stated that support for the 360 will be discontinued this year, and I'm guessing Sony won't be far behind.
