Some thoughts from someone who enjoys the game, the timed events, and wants to see the game get better and better.
1) Loved the fact of the Iron Banner even though it can obviously be expanded - it kept me in PVP for the entire week (which then made it refreshing to step back into exploration). I got a cool cape out of it so that was enough to make me happy. It felt like a ranked playlist, my team mates were typically more cohesive, intelligent, and reliable than those in the crucible.
2) Obviously would like more variety. I assume each Iron Banner event will have only one game type for a while, but eventually it would be great to have an Iron Banner for each game type.
3) As with everything in the game, the Banner merchant just needs more cool stuff. Pretty simple.
4) How about an Iron Banner like PvP event that takes over an entire planet (or for there to one day an entire planet devoted to free roam guardian battles? Imagine going to Saturn and it's just completely engulfed in a massive battle all the time between the separate factions?)
Alrighty, thanks for reading. I really enjoy the game, so keep working Bungie, and for those players who like it, let's not waste time 'defending it' against anyone, just praise what you love and let the rest be background noise. It's our game after all and we have to make sure Bungie hears from the people who love it, but have specific input on what can make it better.
Share your thoughts about the Iron Banner. How do you think it can get better?

It didn't last long enough, not everyone has an entire week to play. Some people have school work they have to do and others have social lives to live. I think that Bungie should have also made the bounties for the Iron Banner much more sensible and slightly easier to attain, because some of them were down right ludicrous.
