I have been playing this game since D1, mainly Crucible Quickplay. Iron Banner has always been one of my favorites. However, lately it has become less and less fun to play. So much so that this time, for the first time ever, I'll probably pass. These are the three main reasons why I think it's no longer fun, nor worth playing:
1) The boring/annoying quest that one has to go through in order to be able to start turning in Tokens to Lord Saladin. Especially because it forces me to use weapons other than the ones I want to use. I don't like to be forced to play the game the way Bungie wants me to, instead of playing it the way I enjoy to.
2) CBMM turned Crucible into a nightmare (at least for me). No point in playing a game that is no longer fun.
3) Sunsetting. No point in grinding thousands of tokens just to get 99% useless old items that get trashed right away. And the few that are useful come with a light cap so that you have to regrind the same old stuff over and over again in an endless hamster wheel loop. That is no fun either.
Now, I know that different people might like or dislike different things, and therefore there will be some who might agree or disagree with these reasons. However, this is how I personally feel and that makes me sad, cause I used to LOVE this game quite a lot. I still do, to some extent, but I no longer feel very motivated right now....

Agreed without SBMM I'm not going to play.
