The amount of whining so many people do in this community is ridiculous. Take more than half a second to think about how to actually accomplish something before pitching a bitch about it.
It takes less than a minute to send a friend invite, or a request to join a clan. All you have to do is make a decent first impression during a strike, crucible, or mission.
In addition, please remember that it has been made clear by a number of different Bungie representatives that they are taking a hard look at expanding in-game communication.
FACT - An embarrassingly large number of people on this forum could recieve $10,000 checks in the mail from Bungie, and they would immediately complain about the type of paper used for the envelope.

Edited by Luckdog26: 7/31/2014 9:37:29 AMAs someone whose friends don't play video games, I personally don't have 5 other people who would play a Raid with me. So a lack of matchmaking in Raids means I will never get to experience them, as simple as that. Because sending friend requests to random people is exactly the same as having a matchmaking system in the first place when talking about cooperative barriers.
