Not to be a dick but after everything that has happened since launch, were you actually surprised this game mode didn't deliver? Do you feel like you wasted all that time now? Should I be happier that I didn't spend all that time that you did because I can still compete in iron banner? Should I be mad and rant that because I have a life and a family that I can't play certain game modes that I payed for just like you? Questions man, questions. I'm not defending Bungie at all and understand your beef, it's wrong, very wrong what became of this entire game. I hope months down the road we will all forget about how Destiny started but it wouldn't surprise me if it never delivered a THE experience we all thought it would.

Very true. I understand why people are mad but I honestly just wanted them to get this one big thing right. Iron banner was so hyped to be a really big thing and a core concept of the game so I figured they'd at least do THIS right. Trying real hard to give them benefit of the doubt when I can. But this one is a big screw up. I was surprised because I didn't think they'd blatantly fail at something so crucial... Plenty of ppl I know that were using Iron Banner as the determining factor of whether to stay or go... Honestly it might really come down to what you just said.. if things are just gonna be like this with Bungie just throwing out whatever they can to try and keep us around then maybe it is time to accept that it just won't be the game we thought it'd be.

It is unfortunate. I logged into iron banner with a big smile expecting to get wrecked like it was nobodies business! Then I go on a killing spree of 16-0 in my second match and I was like, hmm, either in amazingly good all of a sudden, everyone in playing sucks ass at four levels above me, or this just isn't supposed to happen. It was weird but I'm glad I could compete in it. The people who have had more time, I get their complaint and understand their frustration. Iron banner could be a deal breaker for most but honestly the second time this rolls around it will be different. Either way, you're either going to roll with this game or you're going to trade it in for something else. I'm going to roll with it and expect the very least until they impress me. I have not been able to do the raid because of poor drops but I did get my first legendary chest piece today at lunch from iron banner. Still stuck at 24 though.

I really hope so man. It was a disappointment to me only because I was just craving that pvp end game. I'm pretty good at pvp and I enjoy it alot. My goal going into Iron Banner was to get my gear high enough to the point where I could at least hang with lvl 30s (im a 28) and it'd feel like most matches were winnable. After playing awhile I realized that there just isn't any difference and its even a far cry from what it was back during testing. VoG and stuff is nice but that only covered the pve section of the game, which honestly isn't really what I'm into. Would rather be up against living people testing my skill and having a good time. Grinded my ass off to get mats/upgrade materials just to find yeah.. I really didn't have to lol. But yes. Let's hope they can get this one right next time. They really need it with the lack of a leaderboard/rank system in game. Its really the only pseudo-end game pvp that they have. Til then its competing with ppl through destiny tracker i suppose lol
