Bungie,
You've lost a lot of your player-base over time, which is to be expected for some games, but not for a game of this scale.
More people would stick around if they could play more of the content, but so much of your player-base is solo. You have an abysmal percentage of total players who ever tried, let alone beat a Raid 1 time.
This is something that PSO2 solved 10 years ago.
Just add in audio and visual queues in lieu of requiring mic commands and it doesn't have to be for the hardest level of content, but at least the mid range stuff where actually useful gear and items drop.
Additionally add an active wait for raids/dungeons where you can still run around and do things.

OPTIONAL match making should be there for everything and as long as there is a clear warning that signing up for some content could lead to a sub optimal experience then all players can tune their involvement and preferences. Old topic all issues and points of view been aired a million times but new comment would be appreciated.
