I've been stumped for months now...on why Bungie is so silent and not addressing the one issue most are complaining about. How almost everybody wants Matchmaking for Weekly's , Nightfalls , and Raids...and nothings being done about it.
I can solo Weekly's and Nightfalls now... so it's not like strict coordination is needed. Even in Raids, everybody knows how to do it now...heck i've even beat with a whole team that didn't have mics last week.
I read somewhere that Bungie wanted to make the game more 'close-nit' , which is why they left it out ... They prefer is to Friend up with complete strangers ...instead of being able to matchmake with them randomly. So yea, I gotta post on Gamefaqs everytime I need more Raid members, etc. Even as a Clan Leader, there's still many times where I struggle to find a full team since my other clannies already got the weekly reward. And I don't blame them, why do the raid / nightfall twice when there's no reward the 2nd time ? Bungie should wake up in this aspect as well....and give side-rewards for people assisting others .
But back on topic, before I sidetrack my own thread...
Remember...Most gamers are predominantly Loners...so most just wanna get-up and go...and beat it....without all the g@y...chit-chat crap. (how are you today? paint your toenails today? ) Another reason why Matchmaking for all playlists should be a top priority before any other updates are made.
I would love to hear official reasoning from Bungie, on how they could ignore such a frequently complained about issue...that could be resolved / fixed in a few days...with simple network code update.

I think match making should be available for everything except the raid. Bungie's reasoning is sound in that area. Any one who has attempted the raid would probably agree. But, having said that, there are plenty of great players who are willing to take level-appropriate players into the raid all you got to do is get on this forum and spend a little energy finding them. More often than not you will find people looking for help. PS make sure your LEGENDARY or higher weapons are leveled up
