We're adding Matchmaking to the Wish List thread to acknowledge the request that has been made by many of you. You have my personal assurances that the design teams know you want it. They've seen the conversation.
My comments about using your time here to make friends and play games were an attempt to provide ideas for immediate solutions to the issue of needing people to play with. I'm not here to invalidate anyone's opinion, but I do have my own experiences with with building teams to play games together. If I could move one of you closer to taking matchmaking into your own hands, it would be worth the scorn.
As for deliberate forum censorship on the part of anyone at Bungie? I can guarantee that these things are not happening. The algorithms that sort forum topics do their own thing. The only time we influence that is when one of you is violating the code of conduct.

We've all still been here the last week and a half discussing it. I don't remember you coming back and trying to "move" any of us.

You come on here (because national press joined the discussion) to offer this olive branch and then proceed to insult everyone's intelligence. Do you really have that low an opinion of us all and think we're that stupid?

Many were at the top of all 3 tabs when pulled. I find it not only despicable, but abhorrent that you are going to come onto the forum and tell everyone that a computer algorithm arbitrarily removed all these posts [b]completely[/b] from those two tabs. You sir, owe every single one of the Guardians listed above an apology as well as any who read the deceit you posted above. If anyone wants to see what our CM is truly is about, just take 15-20 minutes to scroll through the 10,000 or so posts under the "Highest Rated" tab and see how many of these you can find. All we wanted was to be heard and to express our opinions fairly and rationally on these forums. This all could have been avoided a week ago with 2 different sentences. Now you couldn't even post this without another affront. We've seen your eyes and teeth. We'll be watching. Thank you to all the Guardians listed above and the ones I know I missed on the list as well as the hundreds who have been so supportive in this cause. None of this would have happened without the thousands of bumps and likes. You're all amazing. Here's hoping for a bright Destiny future. #bumpfortruth

Edited by Hettar393899: 6/1/2015 10:06:06 PMNot to pile on, just just for accuracy: Those are the stats for 4.0 . 3 topped out around 90 likes, 2 was around 35 or 40 and the first was around 30. It was a LOT of rework, but we got there.

Edited by Kestrel: 6/1/2015 9:15:14 PMI think you are doing a great job. There is however only so much these people understand.

Deej has a sucky job for sure, it's not his call to make these kinds of desicions. He simply delivers news and updates the higher ups wish for him to post. We all definitely learned something from all this for sure.

Thank you for attempting to stop these spam posts. This forums recruitment section and destinylfg.com are great sources of good players who have experience. People who refuse to use them are just being ignorant to the resources available to them. Please do you best to be sure REAL issues are tended to first such as more vault space, treasure key drop rates and of course more dance moves!
-
Not ignorance just, just pissed off that something as matchmaking should be in game; or LFG in-game. Leaving the game to find people to play with is counterintuitive and just lazy on Bungie's end.

^this.

This has to be the best post ever

DEEJ dont listen to the OP. He is a childish baffoon and i had to mute him long before he made these unbearable nagging troll like posts asking for matchmaking. Add matchmaking then prepare for the innumerable posts stating "matchmade fireteams cant do squat together" LOL

Bump. We thought the complaining was bad now? People are going to get stranded in an activity or inactivity or lack of communication or poor weapons....it will come when optional matchmaking happens. Also what's hard about making friends lol. People these days

Whatever, thank god they stressed optional, but i swear to god who wver gets on here and then complains about the new optional matchmaking i will literally tear them a new one. LOL

DJ I have used this site for matchmaking like many others. It's a huge waste of time and way to much negativity. It's not effective for everyone. This is why we want matchmaking. You don't seem to really get the reason behind it. I do thank for taking the matchmaking seriously. Its way past time it's added.
-
Let's not forget elitism as well.
-
Thank you for taking this matter forward Deej.
-
GOOD DEEJ GOOD! See! This is what you need to do all the time! An informative, mature response that isn't snarky. Look at that, was it so hard? Let's see more of this across the forums, and you just might save this thing yet.

Edited by EcaIIaw: 6/1/2015 8:18:59 PMDeej, what is so wrong of making it optional? You make seem as if it some sort disease or something. If I want to go out my way to find a more "detail" group of players, I'll just simply use the sites they have to offer. If I'm too lazy to do so (Inwhich there is nothing wrong with that, sometimes you're just not in the mood to go through this process to find a group) I'll just click on the activity I want to do, and let the game find me 2 or 5 random people. What's the difference anyway? Both options are both random. But don't leave it up to the community to find groups. Your LUCKY that your community plays a huge role on FINDING these groups, and using these sites. Lucky...

As long as it's optional. I don't want to be forced to play with anyone. Optional mm works all around but mandatory pisses off the skilled that have to carry the unskilled.

All we're asking for is optional. Mayhap if you spent less time with Liloo you'd know that, Korben. Good work on taking down the Darkness though, I loved your work.
