Please give this a chance before you just shut it straight down. If you would have no interest in using this feature just think of others who will and who are missing out on (what I think) the best part of the game. Everyone who thinks this is a bad idea are silly. Honestly...why would it bother you even if you wouldn't use it? Just use the old way - said this couple of times but people don't quite get that this would be optional, just be nice to have a choice. People are acting like they are forcing you to raid using matchmaking. It wouldn't be (or shouldn't be) like strike matchmaking. [b]Needs to be just like DestinyLFG[/b] but in the actual game. Even an in game chat would be better than what we have now. If a free game like warframe can do it why can't a $500million (budget or whatever it still cost a lot more) game do it? Works great as well.

Examples of replies: "What about AFKers" - Very few would AFK as everyone knows it's pretty much not doable without all 6. Everyone knows it's a team effort and if there was an AFK you could group up with the guys that wasn't Afk, hit search and would find 1 more within seconds. Same process works for trolls. Also an option for which part you want to do so you haven't gotta search for entire process (same as LFG - fresh, Templar, crota boss ect). There is also the trusty vote to kick option. People want to do the raid..they know it's gonna take time so they have no time for AFKers. But I really doubt someone is going to sit there with an AFKer in the room....they would just back out. "People without mics would ruin it" - going back to the first point. Not many would join matchmaking raid without a mic. Also there would be a ready up lobby before you begin. If they don't have a mic you don't ready up, back out and search again. Everyone knows how tough the raids are though especially for new guys which brings me to my next point "It would be too hard with randoms" - everyone you add on destinylfg or wherever is random. I always join a room and ask does everyone know what to do and some say yes some say no. There is always a guy who will explain what to do and it gives you a chance to see other peoples performance and add really good players. If you don't like the group. Look again in seconds. "We don't want randoms in our 2 man army" - That's cool. There would be 2 options. Start / Search. When you hit start it starts the raid with whoever is in your fireteam at the time. Search will bring a dropdown menu or list of options you wish to search for and boom. "It simply can't be done on destiny's servers" - If this was true I would like to actually hear it from bungie. If they came out right and said the game simply cannot support matchmaking in the raid then fair enough. I haven't seen anything like this myself and think the only reason they didn't add matchmaking was because they thought this mode was going to be too tough for random people to group up and do together so only clan groups would be able to do it. We showed them didn't we. "Stop being lazy and use DestinyLFG" - Is it lazy for us to have to use outside of game resources to play a game mode in the game, or was it lazy of bungie to not add anything like LFG in the actual game? I use LFG as much as I can as it's the only way for me to raid. I would just like bungie to take some responsibility and actually add this in the game. Imagine you had to do this for every game mode. They might as well have. This would benefit all meaning faster searches finding players faster. Last night we did crotas end and few guys kept leaving. Because there are so many people searching and adding it took 5-10 mins to get ONE GUY! How many would you have found pressing 1 button? Also it would be optional meaning if you wanna do it the old fashion 10 year old way then that's fine but I guarantee you would end up using matchmaking. All it takes is a little faith and thought and this would work so much better. Edit: Search options Completions - x (Choose to look for guardians who have completed so many times ie 5 times/10times/15times/30times) Rank/Level - (Choose what level you are looking for ie 28+/30+) Class - x (Choose class you are looking for) Langauge - x Mic - Yes/No Experienced - Yes/No Checkpoint - Fresh/Gatekeeper/Boss (This would act like vanguard strike options or crucible game mode options) ***Raid matchmaking would unlock after you have completed the raid say 3 times*** Also option to "Host new fireteam" or "Join existing fireteam" or if not possible then lobby and "Press (button) to ready up) so when everyone is satisfied you press ready. If not just search again. To everyone who agrees thank you. If we can get enough people on board with this and get as many likes as we can it can happen just like when people made all those threads about voice chat (which I don't know about you but I have still not used this option). I would like to hear a reason from bungie why it's not in the game. Especially now.
