[quote]It wouldn't affect your experience one iota[/quote] Sorry but this is the real ignorance right here. It does effect and has effected MY experience very much so. Having the end game constantly being dumbed down since Destiny 1 to be more "inclusive" has not only effected my personal enjoyment of the end game challenge but also of many others. I don't need to bore you with my full Destiny back story but needless to say I have lost many regular fire teams that I worked at maintaining simply over the fact the game got boring and no longer challenging in a team environment, even a lot of 3 man raids are easy nowawdays. So many regular end game players leave the game all the time, with every update. I have lost a lot of people along the way, many great players. So Destiny is always being stretched to meet the needs of "everyone" but "everyone" doesn't have the same needs or interests. [quote]more endgame content like Shattered Throne that can be done solo or in a fireteam and both are a true endgame challenge.[/quote] Imo it's not a true endgame challenge it's a reasonable challenge to solo but not something you'll sink hours upon hours into and for a team of 3 it's very straight forward. All of your points refer to activities that are more inclusive for the solo player yet 90% of everything already is, they added a super easy mode to solo NF card, Reckoning has matchmaking, the new 6 man activity has matchmaking, like I said you are not realising they have to make the game less team oriented to make this happen. To make a dungeon soloable they have to design it that way therefore most people will be able to do it at some point. Therefore the dungeon is not a real challenge for a team of 3 players. A match made raid would either require less need for communication due to many factors mainly language and terminology barriers or less punishing mechanics to successfully work and be both fun and challenging (people still cry about tier 3 Reckoning btw so...). I can't see them being able to cater to this and still maintain any semblance of challenge for actual teams. Like someone said in the replies, the raids are already easy enough. It seems like there is a great reluctance from many players to actually engage with the community in this game and embrace the team aspects that are here. I'm not asking for less solo activities, I enjoyed the shattered throne, it reminded me of soloing Crota only easier. Just tougher end game fireteam based activities.

It's not though, it completely disregards all players who enjoy difficult endgame and team play, camaraderie and the social aspect of the game. I've seen and been on both sides and having less team oriented people in game where endgame is built on co-op team play is not good for the community or the overall state of the game. A virtual world filled with solo players who refuse to communicate to one another verbally, doesn't sound so great to me and I can count entire clans worth of people who felt so strongly about this direction they flat out uninstalled Destiny.
