First of all, I didn't come up with this, someone else did and I am just spreading the word because it's still an issue for some people.
SO you keep going to Court of Oryx hoping you will meet other guardians who may help with your runes but keep hitting a ghost town? There is a trick: Every time you board the Dreadnought and head right to Hall of Souls (where Court of Oryx is), as soon as you hit the "transition area" (the pathway connecting The Breach and Hall of Souls), walk through that pathway really slowly until you reach Hall of Souls.
There is a matchmaking system between every location, not just when you launch the patrol. The reason for not being able to see anyone in CoO is that the transition area is too small and if you sprint through it, the matchmaking system will fail to match you with other guardians. If you walk through the pathway slowly, the game will have enough time to match you with others.
I've had the same issue at the beginning but after I started using this trick, I have always met bunch of people in CoO.
Please bump and like this so others can see it. I think this is a really helpful trick.
[b]TL;DR: If you can't meet anyone in Court of Oryx, walk through the pathway connecting The Breach and Hall of Souls slowly so the game has enough time for matchmaking to finish.[/b]
Edit: Thanks for all the positive feedback. This trick works on any Dreadnought locations and you can use it both ways - meaning that if you DO want to be alone in a location, sprint through the transition zone and there is a high chance you will end up alone. Good for Hadium Flakes farming in The Mausoleum for example.
Also, this will work on the planets, not just Dreadnought. But it's generally not an issue there because the transition zones are big enough to allow matchmaking to finish (except Earth - Rocket Yard).

Many people still don't understand this, I was unaware the matchmaking system could fail, given that in other areas it will freeze your character and show a loading spinner. Thanks.
-
Great info but it seems like 99% of everyone is done farming in the open world, so empty. Nothing but raids on LFG
-
Bump me please
-
I prefer to do it alone or with my friend
-
I think for good measure, I'm just gonna walk everywhere in the game from now on! No more sprinting or sparrows
-
can Bungie/DeeJ/COSMO confirm this?
-
Tried about 20 times last night, doesn't work.
-
Does it really work?
-
excellent post, Guardian!
-
Thanks, I've always wondered why on God's earth it's always empty.
-
bump for later!

Wish I would have known this yesterday. Had to two-man a T3 with a stranger. Good thing he was pretty congenial.
-
So awesome. Thank you very much for this!!
-
very nice of you to post this! I had trouble today with the exact same thing but hit the ghost town every single time. With a little luck 2 people helped with tier 3. If i only knew this. Thanks tho'!

I wish I would have known that for the taken champion in the Rocketyard, I literally had to find someone in Skywatch and ask them to come with me xD
