How would I envision it? Have you ever played a single game with a skill based system? Have you never heard of the TruSkill algorithm? Because Bungie pioneered it. Level has nothing to do with skill. That's not the point I was making. You're getting hung up on two completely different sections of my initial response and mixing them together. Point being that Iron Banner was advertised as this "You better bring your best gear, because this shit matters." type of event, and it's anything but that. It worked fine in beta, so what happened? I don't recall seeing and post beta notes saying it was being tweaked. Having a "feeling" that there is a difference pales in comparison to the statistical data that is already out there.
