Dear Bungie staff,
Because there is no Raid matchmaking, I haven't played a Raid since before The Dark Below came out. Not that I don't want to!
I don't have five Destiny friends, and using LFG services is a frustrating and extremely time-consuming experience. I feel walled off from Raid content.
I actually switched to playing Final Fantasy XIV for a long time, because FFXIV implements Raid matchmaking and it provides a satisfactory and streamlined experience.
I would much rather accept the mixed bag of playing with randoms in Destiny than continue to deal with things as they are.
On the whole, I love Destiny and I'm looking forward to supporting the game's future releases. I'll be a much more active player, and much more likely to recommend the game to friends, if Matchmaking is implemented for the high-end content.
Best,
Sean Langhi from Mountain View, CA

Just did the raid last night, had only 4 of our fireteam on, and found two others from bungie.net within 10 minutes maybe. I had never run the raid, and neither had one of the randoms, but we still finished in pretty good time. Have you seen the people you get randomly matched with in strikes or crucible? That would be disasterous, especially if one or two people didn't use mics I agree it can be a little difficult to find people, but asking for match making has been going on since destiny came out, and you might as well accept the ways everyone else does it.
