I apologize if old thread is old. In an interview with Eurogamer at Gamescom, about a month before Destiny was released. Jonty Barnes (Director of Production) had this to say when discussing the lack of matchmaking for raids: [quote]It's about the group dynamic. It's not just about a casual dynamic. It's about an understanding of people committed to playing the roles in raids. And preparing. With raids, you don't just jump into them. You've got to prepare before you go in, and decide, what are you doing? What am I doing? Let's all talk about it in orbit. Okay, what role are you going to play? Well, I'm an x Titan, whatever type of Titan I am, and I'm going to be defensive and hold positions. And, have you played this before? Yeah, I found success when I did it this way.[/quote] [url=http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-08-21-bungie-on-the-destiny-level-cap-raids-and-game-size]Source[/url] This was taken from [url=http://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/2jlow8/bungies_director_of_production_jonty_barnes_on/]this Reddit article[/url].
