EDIT 1. OK.. So, people are ONLY giving their own opinion as to why THEY wouldn't play it via the matchmaking option, but NOT why we shouldn't be given the OPTION to play it via matchmaking, IF we want to play it like that. People are just saying why it wouldn't work (for them), which is fine, but it would NOT AFFECT them, since they'll still be able to play it as they have been all this time. So please, any one who comments opposing this, please give a valid reasons as to why not give all players a chance to play the raid via matchmaking (we know the consequences), but IF we decide to play it like that, WHY NOT give us the opportunity? Also, SOME people opposing this additional option to the game are players who are greedy and/or selfish, because they want to be the "only ones" who can get the "raid props" and "show off." For those players, C'mon, lets stop being greedy/selfish. Everyone should get a chance to play the game to its full potential, specially since everyone PAID to PLAY this game. _________________________________________________________________ So, please excuse my ignorance, but since I haven't seen any answers to my question, I'll just ask it... Bungie - Why can't you just make the raids available as MATCHMAKING as well??? I LOVE the game and I consider myself a gamer (with a personal life with a bunch of responsibilities of course), but it's just sooooooo hard for me to get these raids done!! It's really frustrating because I've been adding a bunch of people as friends, I started getting more involved in forums (just for this reason) and still, I can't get a team going... as of now, I am light level 292 and I just want to do this raid, but I can't get 6 people together when I'm available to play (which I believe I play a lot, you should ask my wife and kids LOL).. Anyway, putting aside 5-7 hours (for what I hear) is hard enough, but hey, I'll do it just because I love the game, BUT, 5-7 hours PLUS trying to find people to add to your PSN, then finding people at a high enough level, finding people who want to do it, AND FINALLY finding people who can do it at the time that WE can do it, it's just close to impossible.. So, I just wonder, why can't you just add the option to do these raids as matchmaking?? I seriously believe that you as a business, game, company, etc., would get much positive results from people (which would include more people playing the game for longer periods of time, not just the first few weeks when the game is "new"), which in return, i'm sure you'd make more game sales.. And, of course, would make thousand of gamers like myself happy and loyal.. This would give us ALL a chance to play the game the way it was meant to play (beating raids, strikes, etc).. Obviously, people could still create their own fire teams if they wanted, but for the people that it's almost impossible and who just really don't have that extra time to look for people, we can just play it as matchmaking raids. I really hope Bungie - Destiny could somehow implement this to the game so we can ALL enjoy the game to it's full potential.. Thanks! PS4 - AQUARYOUS
