Iron Banner Rank 5 Rewards
It seems the rewards for reaching Rank 5 in Iron Banner are split per the usual. Some people are pissed and some are content.
So far, my Rank 5 rewards were terrible. I got a 310 ghost (I've got a 315 and a 311 ghost) and I got a 313 helmet (I've got a 320 helmet). I'm not Rank 5 with my Warlock yet.
Instead of a random RNG package at Rank 5, what if we were giving a choice between an RNG weapon package with a ghost and an RNG armor package with a ghost.
It's still RNG based but players would have a little more control in what reward they receive. Personally, I'd rather receive weapons instead of armor. I'm much more likely to keep weapons even if they're below my light level. Armor almost immediately gets dismantled unless it's at or above my current light level.
Vote!
EDIT: Just hit rank 5 with my Warlock. I received a 310 ghost (I've got a 315) and a 311 helmet (I've got a 313 helmet).
Seriously, wow.

You have always needed to grind the raid for everything you need to reach max level. It may just be the noobs that hitched on for christmas, but I figured that people by now would have realized that the raid has always, and will always be the most important activity to progression. Listening to people get upset over RNG that has more or less been the same since vanilla has honestly gotten stale. I understand that grinding is one of the core pillars to a loot-based game. It's what makes up most the gameplay. I'll admit, it gets overwhelming sometimes, but there's no way around the grind. People tend to forget that there's usually no easy short-cut to getting to the top. People think that since they're spending a lot of time in Iron Banner they should get something good for it, which is reasonable, but how many times does someone have to run Hard King's Fall, start to finish, to reach 320? What I'm getting at is that is that like the raid, Iron Banner is a weekly event, and also like the raid, you can sometimes get crummy loot for all that time you spent playing. I ask you players this: Has being "robbed" of loot ever stopped you from doing the raid permanently? For most, it's No. For those who say Yes- Destiny isn't the game for you. Edit: I made an error in judgement when I decided to say that Iron Banner never [i]dropped[/i] Top-Tier gear. SOMEONE out there must've gotten armor from the reward screen, right? That detail is kind of beyond the point I was making, but if everyone is going to call it bullshit I guess I needed to speak in perfect depth and detail.
