Oh I completely understand where you are coming from. I've spent every possible moment playing this game to the point where I only get like 5ish hours of sleep a night. My thinking on iron banner is that they worded it wrong, they put to much emphasis on how much the armor and weapons are actually going to affect it and that's why everyone is so mad about it. I've done the raid, strikes, bounties you name it multiple times and put my hunter through the ringer and back. But I think they shouldn't have put so much focus on how much yor armor affects things when it really doesn't. I do think they should have waited a little while before doing iron banner though. They should have balanced the weapons a little better (suros in my opinion is a little game breaking for PvP), fixed the reward system for crucible, and done a few other tweaks before releasing us to the iron banner so it would be more focus on skill and a little bit of your gear than what the game is now. I love the game and if I could put a ring on it I would, but I'm really looking forward to some changes in the future :P
