So I tired to read this all but it's getting more and more difficult to continue when. The same thing gets repeated over. I want to point out that if there was matchmaking for Raids and someone joined in and seen that only two people had gjalla they would just quit and try again. I also want to point out thay two days ago I just got to the lighthouse for the first time with two random people I met off the forums! Now this is good for matchmaking! Then again it shows I didn't need matchmaking.... Optional matchmaking would be fine in my opinion. Except for Raids I think that would make people complain that the raids were too hard and people couldn't beat them. Then your asking for is nerf it! Ugh. As it is right now, we have ways to get around the fact there is no matchmaking for some stuff. There is no way around the cheaters or glitches we encounter. Bungie should focus on that instead of matchmaking. They have stated before that they are not censoring anything. And explained why it's not high on the list.
