I think the iron banner is being handled pretty well. If it were totally unbalanced in favor of the decked out being nigh indestructible, then it would close off its accessibility and be barren except for the high level twinks looking for an easy win.
Because face it, that was the first thing that crossed everyone's mind when they read about iron banner. Finding that hapless lvl 5 who happened to wander in and marvel at their powerlessness

Wouldn't there just be a bunch of people complaining about iron banner if they were getting owned? The complaining is never going to end is it? Granted their complaints would be inappropriate and all of us would tell them they are complaining for nothing but the nonstop bitching is never going to end with this game or any other game. I bet when I get dragon age I could bitch and whine about something if I wanted to. Like no co-op story mode. I could go on for days about how I should be able to play any games story with my friends any time I want but it's not going to happen this time so I guess I have to deal with it. I like iron banner but essentially there isn't much to it other than me showing off something I have earned that my friends haven't because they don't play pvp.

-blam!- the low levels.

Or matchmaking could work and pair you with appropriately leveled opponents... You know like halo used too....

this is what match making is for. It wouldn't be to hard to run a list of criteria so that you can match all the 'nigh indestructibles' and then the next level down so forth and so on. Look there is a huge gap if in pve 5 levels above you is a ? and can't take damage and kills you in one shot and pvp there is no difference. I mean it would mean that in pvp armor has no effect... a lv 8 is like i duno 2-3 hundred defense points. im lv 28 and have just shy of 1300. that's a 1000 armor points difference on average. PvE that makes a big difference.

It was SUPPOSED to be unbalanced. No one forces low level players into the event. It's another FAILURE.

What good is a public event that is gated by the very top? Seriously you won't get many players playing if it was so lopsided.

[quote]What good is a public event that is gated by the very top? Seriously you won't get many players playing if it was so lopsided.[/quote] Because it's a DIFFERENT mode from regular Crucible. It's supposed to be for those who have the top end gear. They advertised it as such, and that's not how it is. What's the point of having an event that's identical to what we already have available?

Iron Banner was supposed to make gear and levels matter. It's the reason everyone has been raiding and grinding ascendant shards. Many people and I have been busting ass to get our characters as high level as possible before IB came out. Now, we find out we could have been lv 21 and still done just fine. Crucible already exists for what you speak of. This was supposed to be a simple week-long event where your hard work paid. If a 140 lb man knowingly joined a wrestling match with someone who was 250 lbs, he would lose. That's as good of a metaphor for how IB was supposed to be as any.
