It's really annoying to have to wait for people to get on to form a group for Raids, Nightfalls and Heroic strikes, especially since we can't go to a public area like the Tower and recruit due to the voice chat restrictions imposed in the game. Not to mention it's hard to find people of the right level as well. Matchmaking would make this so much easier and make getting gear and leveling it less of a hassle.
The Matchmaking could look for players of similar level to match you with to make sure you're not going in with anyone too low to survive, as well as balance the group by diversifying the classes, bringing in 2 of each class for raids (2 titan, 2 warlock, 2 hunter) and one of each for the Nightfall and Heroic strikes.
While on the topic of Strikes, it would also behoove the player base if we could finally be able to voice chat with our random fire team members instead of having to form parties through the dashboard (X360 and XB1 versions). This should also be allowed in the Tower as well so those who are looking to form specific groups of people for Raids can do so much easier by simply talking to those around them. Being able to openly communicate with others is a staple of MMOs. Not allowing us to do is counter intuitive towards the game play in Destiny.
Also, we should be able to choose the difficulty of the Raids between normal and hard. The same goes for regular strikes as well. We should be able to play strikes up to level 30 as well as difficulty modifiers for players to challenge themselves. The higher the level and difficulty modifiers, the greater the rewards.
With the addition of PoE, matchmaking should be added for all modes of that activity as well, not just level 28.

I've got to say that I would LOVE if they added matchmaking into raids. The reason I, and maybe others, want this is because I can't play the raids. I have only one person I KNOW who has destiny, and we can't exactly do a raid with just us now, can we? now I know some people will think "why don't you just look for people here". why? because I prefer not talking to random people I've never met before unless it's ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY or having to become friends with said people just so I can play a game mode about once or twice. Additionally, some of the people who I'd have to find would end up taking the game way too seriously and going batshit crazy because I did something wrong, like c'mon! sorry I haven't been able to play it a billion times and master it, blame Bungie! As well as this, I just find it stupid that they have a feature in the game that's only playable if you have 5 friends to play with, as I mentioned before I don't, so I'm missing out on what sounds like a really exciting part of the game! I'd like to enjoy destiny, not get bored of it as I can't play some features of it because I have few friends.
