1) Deej has not seen this post and it will soon be buried in the depths of the forums. 2) what makes it a raid is that you have to gather your own party to do it. It's not for randoms to just hop in to. 3) as I'm sure you have come to find out, randoms are retarded in the highest order. They join strikes and sit at the begining playing with their foreskin while you clear up to the last boss then run up to you for the end. They join pvp and state at walls, feeding the enemy team points. Randoms are the downfall of all matchmaking and provide a purely dogshit experiance for good players. Don't fool yourself. Other games have tried giving raids a matchmaking system and have caused Ireverseable damage to the game and it's dedicated core players.
