That is not a good thing IMO. Low key the multiplayer already has perks/guns that aren't equal so them having a whole playlist like the Iron Banner seems like some ridiculous fukkery.
I'd much rather them come out with a barebones/hardcore playlist cause some of the stuff I saw last night was very demonic for a competitive multiplayer game
I know what you're saying, but this is an mmo and gear based pvp is the lifeblood of all mmos. It gives people a reason to keep grinding for that competitive edge, basically hard work is rewarded with an advantage. It's what makes people addicted because they feel they can't stop playing or they'll fall behind and won't be competitive. The mentality is "if only I had that better helmet I know I'd wreck shyt" and then you spend the next week working on that helmet. I know it will be frustrating but it will probably add to the longevity of the game for most people.
There is still going to be the crucible for those that want it more equalized.
