Here’s what I have a hard time with. They say no optional matchmaking for end game content because only a well working team can beat the difficult end game content but that’s simply not true. Players teaming with strangers via the forums here and on LFG make it through end game content all the time. For me, that’s about the only way I can do raids and strikes.. and by saying “go make friends” it’s the same thing as rolling the dice in an optional matchmaking mode. The friends I do play with I met on the recruitment forum or on LFG.. It’s a crap shoot either way So their defense for not allowing optional making is blown out of the water IMO.. Using the recruitment forum and LFG is a PITA! Post looking for a game, get a response, go through the “find player” crap, send an invite and hope. By not offering matchmaking for end game content they are saying either don’t play the end game content at all OR go use a 3rd party site for matchmaking. Why not at least make it optional for something that almost everyone on destiny is already doing via 3rd party sites? Make it an option guys! If a player using matchmaking can’t complete raids or poe with who you get matched with… no big deal! Just switch to the invite system and use your own team. Why not least give us the option? What does it hurt? What does it take away from the experience? There have been several times I wanted to do a raid and simply couldn’t because I couldn’t find enough people to play so I just turned off the game or played something else. I’m not asking for free shaders or ½ price DLC.. I’m just asking to have an option that lets me play raids and POE when I want to instead of trying to go 3rd party sites and eventually turning off the game because I can’t get enough people. The old “End game content is too difficult for matchmaking” argument is stale and weak.. The recruitment forums here and on LFG have proven that it’s complete b.s. anyway. So just give us the option and let us decide if it works for us or not. Is that really too much to ask for?
