My point is.. (Destiny)
As other have said my point isn't really about skill. Its the fact we were lead to believe that Iron Banner would be nerf free, and that clearly isn't the case. While their is more than likely some advantage for a higher light level, and better gear its unclear exactly what it is.
I as well as many others by the look of it expected the Iron Banner to be nerf free like I said. I expected this to be sort of like a End Game PVP event that actually put the gear I have worked so hard to get to matter. Yes I wanted to have a playlist were I would have a advantage based off of the work I put in, and since I am only a level 29 I expected to have to step my game up when I ran across a level 30 and hope I could out skill him.
It took me 5 days to level up all my weapons, and gear I planned to take into the Iron Banner. I blew energy and shards I was saving on to upgrade my raid gear when RNGJesus decides to bless me. (Don't get me started after 4 VOG's runs, and 2 Hardmode runs all I got is a helmet a ship and some guns. There is always next week right? RIGHT?) All this work and just to watch a level 10 take it like its just a regular playlist.
Well I was clearly wrong, I'm let down, and others are down right mad. So you expect Bungie to clear the air and explain whats up. Well all we get is Deej being cryptic saying,
"I'll be addressing this in the Weekly Update.
Preview: Power Matters, but so does skill."

Friday really? The community is getting the pitchforks ready and you have to wait 2 days to explain whats going on and how the event really works?
I don't know this event is just turning into another Queens Wrath in my opinion, and just like Queens Wrath I am pretty sure you can't break the gear down for shards.
