Iron Banner Musings (Destiny)

How would matching owe to your level help? Wouldn't that just mean it will always feel the same no matter what? Weapons? But everyone would have similar defense stats assuming they upgraded.

Well considering that there appears to be no coherent matchmaking based on skill, does that really matter?

Without some kind of visual ranking system who's to say how good or bad the matchmaking is? I win roughly half the matches I play so from my perspective it does seem to be working... Maybe, as stated below, you're just so good you only win and thus can't tell?

The fact is, most people playing Iron Banner or even regular Crucible are going to come up against similar people with similarly upgraded defense stats. The difference is that not everyone is going to be able to beat the Raid or get its goodies. Give the people who aren't going to get the Raid stuff a decent chance to get to 30.

I think that'll happen. Heck, The Dark Below is said to bring new weapons and armor. Maybe some level 30, no "Raid of Doom Required" armor? I do fail to see what that has to do with how the Iron Banner pays though.

I'd rather the strong crush the weak. Let the people who want balance play normal Crucible and let the Iron Banner truly be a special event.

That's cool and all, but as someone who basically dominates every game he plays, I'm in no way, shape, or form impressed with Iron Banner and there's no incentive to play it. And yes, I dominate Iron Banner just like regular Crucible. It's not a special event. At all. Regular Crucible is more competitive, even if Iron Banner is minimally different from Control. Bungie, for once, doesn't seem to know what it's doing with multiplayer in a game, and that's sad.

Maybe you misread me? I said Bungie should make it a special event because right now it really isn't. The whole point of this topic is that Iron Banner isn't different enough but should be...
