Disable character progression in custom games. Job done.

That was my first thought, however then you have other players surpassing you because they play Matchmaking. Since the game is ultimately going to revolve around gear, and gear is gotten with crucible marks and stuff, then playing custom games essentially puts you "behind".

Flawed system. Don't you just love player investment?

Customs would ideally provide the options we see in Crucible where the individuals who have higher gear or who have played longer are largely made irrelevant by standardizing stats (give or take impact and a few others). If someone wants a custom like Iron Banner, then maybe that's an option.

It's like you said in your initial post about how customs should have never been off the table. This seems like a no brainer, but Bungie did what they somehow thought was best. Hopefully it doesn't turn into a 343 and blow up on them and take a decade to implement.
