[quote] By not including matchmaking because you think only pre-made fireteams capable of clearing content, you're stating that you think most of your community are useless assholes.[/quote] That right there to me and my friends is true. Countless times did me and one friend did matchmaking strikes and weeklies just to get paired with someone who gets 20-40 kills while we get 80-100+. Then to top it off, they get a legendary or exotic drop. Our backs are hurting and we get no compensation. Tonight, we did 4 strikes with one different random each time and what happened? 131 kills - 157 kill - 40 kills. Another strike 8X kills - 7X kills - 12 kills. Another strike 8X kills - 8X kills - 2X kills. We even bailed on a game where we got paired up with a 32 that had a 1940 card score (player carried through the raid) and had an unupgraded Red Death (302), an unupgraded Light of the Abyss (also base), and a rare rocket launcher that was surprisingly unupgraded as well. I did weekly heroic a few days ago by myself and got 112 kills and the other two got like 30 each. When I do match made strikes by myself, I usually get more kills then the two randoms get put together. I'd be better off with optional matchmaking so I can solo it alone rather than soloing it with other people in the game. I think it was Monday when I decided to do Summoning Pits for a bounty. Did I do ROC strike? No, I did the lv12 strike because I didn't want to carry someone and end up with nothing while they get a legendary or exotic drop. What happened in my lv12 strike? I got paired with a lv30 and lv31 that stayed at the start dancing over and over till I got to wave 3 at the door and then they came down. What happened with the boss? I basically dropped him solo as they decided to dance and shoot when they felt like it. In the end I had 112 kills and they had 11 and 12. Personally, I despise randoms and would rather be able to solo everything in this game if I don't have my own friends to play with me. My friends won't even really do match made activities. We have our minds made up that most people are weak sauce. A true optional match making needs to be made but all end game activities such as raids, ToO, and PoE should not have matchmaking ever. It'll just be a huge headache and cause more problems than it will solve.
