I think personally getting 3 friends to raid is a non issue but 6 simultaneously with no match making is next to impossible and for that to be needed or you won't have the ability to experience a large part of the game you paid to experience is a big f*** you to the consumers who make the experience possible and alienates the large majority #justmy2cents

To me I would just group 2 different sets of "friends" Real life friends. Destiny friends. When I raided in other games I didn't always know everyone I raided with from the start. It was usually friends of friends and all that. But at the end of the experience I made new friends. You don't have to only use your real life friends. There were people I raided with I only talked to when I raided. All you need is 6 people that have the desire to raid. 6 people willing to stick with the hardships for the spoils. All you need is 6 people that can be on at the same time on a regular basis. These people don't even have to be any one you know now. With all the comments in the forum it would seem many many people feel finding 5 other friends to raid will be difficult. So it would be an easy transition for those people to get together and raid with each other. Don't focus on the negative but on the positive. It would seem many people are in the same boat about raiding. Maybe fill a "clan" or group of everyone thinking it will be difficult to get 6 people together. List multiple raid times day and night. Have people sign up. Raid.
