"Iron Banner: Bring your best gear, earn some garbage!" - Lord Shaxx

At least, that's what it feels like to me. I'm running at light 303 and the reward cloak is 282? I'm actually really disappointed with how this shakes out, because even though I can infuse the cloak to a usable level (in theory... why do I keep getting 266 rare cloaks???), I want to use my shiny new PvP reward item right out of the box! But doing so actually hurts me, if only a little bit.

I feel like Iron Banner rewards should be at the same tier as raid rewards (300-310) with Trials rewards being at the same tier as hardmode raid rewards (310-320).

It has been and still is nonsense to force PvP players into the raids (and hard mode raids) in order to earn gear which in necessary to remain competitive at the highest levels of PvP.
