Also just for the record (Destiny)

We've got people playing thousands of games of Iron Banner reporting a 1%-2% drop rate for IB gear, and that's just 1 of many examples.
That doesn't seem right at all. (Maybe it was right 5 months ago; my short-term memory is not what it used to be.)So far, this Iron Banner, I've played 52 games. I've had no weapon drops yet, but I've gotten 6 chests, 2 arms, 1 helmet.
That's WAY higher than 1-2%.
Yeah they made an update in November to fix this Iron Banner issue, I specifically remember them discussing it, and here's the patch notes that mention it. And the relevant text:
Iron Banner
* Increased drop rate for Legendary Gear in the Iron Banner playlist
* Increased Iron Banner reputation gain from games by 20%
* Added a package at Ranks 3 & Rank 5 that grants additional rewards to the player
* Known issue: Some of the items from the Rank 5 package will not be awarded when you open it until you return to orbit
* Added an Iron Banner Ghost Shell that can also drop in the playlist at Rank 5
* Gear that buffs Iron Banner Faction reputation gain now have corresponding perk description and icons
* Fixed an issue where Tempered Buff was not correctly appearing in the Character Screen
