You know what really grinds my gears? (Destiny)
So Iron Banner has always favoured those who play as a group over those who go in solo. Knowing this, and knowing that you need to win in order to rank up, Bungie added bounties that allow players to make progress towards their IB rank even if they aren't winning games. Makes perfect sense, right?
So then why the f$@king f$&@ do they go and add so many daily bounties that REQUIER WINNING?! Seriously, who thought that was a good idea?! I've been playing with randos for over an hour and I can't get a single damn win because I keep getting matched against full teams.
GAH!
*Flips Table*

*edit*
Seriously though, these are exactly the kinds of silly, poorly thought-out little things I was talking about in my earlier post. Bungie creates this fun monthly event, features this great team-based game mode, gives us a bunch of sweet gear to buy, then goes and tarnished the whole experience with these little problems that compound each other. I just got thrown in to 4 JIP matches in a row, on to the losing (and still short handed) team each time, against full 6-man-party enemy teams. And I can't make any progress because the 2 bounties I'm still holding require a win.
"Don't play if it's not fun". I know, that's the golden rule. But I HAVE to play if I want to buy that fusion rifle, and I won't have time later, and I won't have time to play again before the event ends.
You all know how much I freaking love this game, but stuff like this drives me nuts. Its 2 steps forward, 2 steps back with Destiny.
