Am I not supposed to be able to solo anything anymore, Bungie?

So am a level 31 now after buying some new Vanguard armor and leveling it up. All I want to do is to come home after work and select a reasonable difficulty level and get some ascendance material in the Daily Heroic. Before the DLC I used to be able to do this daily and get 2 materials. Today, the one and only selection for Daily is the level 30 Rasputin's Bunker. No selection of levels, just 30. Why???? What is wrong with you guys? Why go backwards and remove the ability to pick a level? Some will say "just get a fireteam - use LFG". Sure, but maybe I just don't feel like doing all that when all I want to do is play a solo game. Ok, some will say that I'm not good enough - I should be able to solo an L30 strike being a 31 myself. Well... I guess I'm just not that good - I just want to have fun playing the game and I need the materials and loot at least to some degree for this. I really question whether you understand that some of your best and most loyal customers (I pre-purchased both DLCs BTW) just want to solo things quite often. So you need to not take things away (like selecting a reasonable level). I also question whether you've tuned the difficulty level properly. Last week I was "only" a 30 and tried to solo the Weekly Heroic on "easy" (L26) to get at least 3 coins. I've sometimes solo'ed for 9 coins in the past. But with the new Omnigul strike I couldn't even solo it at 26 with an L30 character. There were just too many things thrown at me. So, is this really they way you want it tuned? That you can't solo a 26 strike at 30 and you can't do a Daily despite being 31? All of these are easy if you have a 3-person fireteam. Or if you allowed matchmaking. So just allow matchmaking on the Daily and Weekly strikes! Or tune them with more choices for us who don't have a bunch of teenage friends or know hardcore gamers. I can perhaps understand why Vault of Glass and Crota's End might be reserved for fireteams, but there's absolutely no reason why the Daily/Weekly strikes can't do matchmaking. I am so frustrated. I want to quit, but I also love the game. The overall gameplay, movements, weapons, etc, are so wonderful. So why are you trying to frustrate me to the point where the game in unplayable because I can no longer participate in the core activities needed to further progress? You should have a simple rule: DON'T GO BACKWARDS. For instance, don't take away the Daily/Weeklies for customers without the DLC. Don't take away the ability to select difficulty. Feel free to add higher difficulties (with more rewards than lower), but don't take away the lower ones. It's like you're trying to piss off a large segment of your user base, which is really weird. Anyway, I love the game. And after the last few days of playing, I really want to quit. I probably won't quit just yet, but I'm getting closer and closer. You guys really need to start understanding this part of your user base. Not everybody has a clan or gaming friends that can jump into a fireteam everyday or the skills to solo the Nightfall. So go and figure out how to make it fun for us. Thank you for (hopefully) listening.
