Now I guess the "majority of players" couldn't give 2 shits about them. Well majority, go fu[b]ck[/b] yourself. We wanted private matches since the beginning and bungie listened to us. Bungie always listens to us, but you're a bunch of sheep. We wanted a gjallarhorn sparrow, we got it. We wanted an exotic strangers rifle; we got it. We wanted a horde mode; we got it ( PoE ). We wanted an exotic kvostov; we got it. We wanted weapon skins; we got it. I can't comprehend how much this community complains. Get the stick out of your ass people. Bungie still loves us.
Everyone has been commenting "But OP what about important things like servers?" And the answer to that is easy. The game is from 2014 guys, it's pretty -blam!-ing old ( game wise ). The servers aren't gonna be the best, and Bungie can't update them without using a whole new net code. Just wait until destiny 2 and Bungie will more than likely implement dedicated servers; just to keep with the times. The next thing being that "SBMM is horrible, why don't they fix that?" And I too agree with this. However, players should still have the option to do skill based matchmaking. Thanks for the support and for the critiquing.

It's hit and miss. I played 5v5 elim for about 8 hours straight and it was fun as hell. At the same time I played public control for about 6 hours today farming exotics and crucible rep. Think the private matches are quite good for clans or people with bigger friend groups. Either way I doubt they will see a huge amount of use until a few weeks after rise of iron. Everyone seems to be gearing up for the dlc, which you can't really do through private matches.
