Isn't there a clan system? Isn't that what clans are for? Hey whomever is on wanna do this raid? Plus raids take time to prepare for, you shouldn't be just "jumping" into a raid on the fly, you will get destroyed. Not to insult anyone, but I don't think some of the more prevalent FPS players are really getting what a raid is, or how they work. If you actually want to complete a raid then you need to take time to build the team to do it. Matchmaking just wouldn't give you the experience that a raid should be. You don't want to get 2 hours into a raid only to have one or two members of your team quit because they weren't prepared for how long it'd take. You won't finish without the whole team, so you've basically wasted two hours and come away with nothing but frustration. It just wouldn't be fun. I understand that with some of the social aspects missing from this game people are worried about finding guys to do the raid, but let's give bungie some credit and rely on them to fix that. The raid isn't even available until level twenty and really probably not possible to complete until post 20. That's more than enough time to make friends and set up a raid. Bungie accelerated xp accumulation and leveling in the beta, so it won't be a fast level up like that after launch.
