I really love Iron Banner. It is one of my favorite things to do in this game. I also really like scout rifles. I have always used them in PVE and PVP ever since year 1. When I found out that the new scout rifle was this month's weapon in Iron Banner I was pretty happy. But then I realized that the only way to acquire said weapon is to play Rift. This ruined my excitement. I am a solo player for the most part. BUNGiE's shitty ass decisions forced my friends to leave this game. I am left to troll forums searching for a decent team, or go in solo. As anyone who has played Iron Banner solo by now knows, this isn't something that can actually be done. I lost upwards of 10 games in a row last night as a solo player. Please do something about this BUNGiE. It feels that no matter what happens with this game, every change negatively effects the solo player. Of course, with the exception of Sparrow Racing which is an embarrassment IMO. I want to be able to turn my console on, pick Iron Banner, and have fun playing the game in a manner which will allows me to progress without getting frustrated at the shitty mechanics that are being dictated upon us. Currently I cannot do this. I am forced to choose between playing Iron Banner solo, accepting I will lose the majority of the games I play, or spending a large majority of time searching for strangers to play with, most of which I will never speak to or play with again. This artificial social experience that is being shoved down our throats needs to end. This is a friggin video game for crying out loud. Take a look at the forums and read and given thread, and you will quickly see how swell of a community we have. I highly doubt any of us left playing this game made the initial purchase because of the social experience associated with Destiny. NO. We did not do this. We purchased a first person shooter with content that looked fun to play. Not some bullcrap game that will forever change in a negative manner, and an artificial social experience being forced on us. [spoiler]Here's an idea, make the game good enough that people actually WANT to play the game. Not something that we are forced to do as a group just to be successful[/spoiler] Rant over
