I think you poisoned the well by removing matchmaking, not only on this forum, but on Reddit, every video game blog that touches the subject, is met by a pack of cyberbullies.
I think the only feedback you take seriously is the one you want to hear about, and most of it is fluff. Matchmaking is either swept under the carpet, or placed in the Feedback List with the same level of priority than "Guardian Facial Hair" (I'm not making this up).
The objections against your matchmaking policy had been voiced out since even before the game was released. I can point you to many of those grievances. Instead of doing something about it, you repeat the same selling points and aggravate the situation. You have decided to ignore it.
I consider your stance hostile towards a large group of players. Many of these, are the bulk of people populating your game.
EDIT: I stopped playing because the issue with matchmaking. You burned that bridge with me, it's over. I urge all the people who want optional matchmaking to stop populating this game. Bungie doesn't want you, and doesn't appreciate your business.
