People arguing that the OP -and others- should make some friends need to STFU AND GTFO and here's why: * I know that you basement dwelling window lickers like to think that some random -blam!-er you met online and added to your friendslist is your friend but they're really not, they're just random people , with a good chance of not giving two -blam!-s about you. *Not having matchmaking is manageable in MMO's, where most of those "get friends"- people probably are coming from, for the simple reason that there is text based chat. The only thing lack of matchmaking does is making things more inconvenient for everyone. The vast majority of people who have actually been in the Vault already probably just sent other random people online invites, God knowns that I've been spammed today, or got some pugs here on the site. No different than what matchmaking could do for us. You're ultimately still playing with strangers. Noteworthy: Unlike in some MMO matchmaking systems there's actually a gear check in this game. That gear check is that level you have to be to queue up.
