I'm not saying that it's impossible to do a successful raid from matchmaking. but odds are, you're not going to find experienced users in match making because once you've completed it, you want to stick with those who have done it before so you can do them quickly. so you're going to be matched up with a bunch of low levels and those who have no clue what they are supposed to do. players don't realize how much time it might actually take and quit half way through, then you'll have to start the entire raid over again, which since you don't get loot multiple times so some wouldn't just go back into matchmaking to have to do the first parts without rewards. I have jumped into teams or searched for players to fill my team multiple times and only took about 5 minutes for a response. I've completed the raid 5 times now (helped a lot of people), most of the teams I jumped into had no clue how to finish it and I had to take over and walk them through how to complete a section. and even then it's usually close. Finding a team on the forums isn't hard if you know what to look for. Although I do find myself wanting them to add matchmaking for the raid just for the sake of proving why it wouldn't work for 95% of the matchmade teams. But if they did that, then the arguments would stop for adding matchmaking and start on making an easier version of the raid which is one thing I want them to NOT do. truth is, this is a subject that wont be budging no matter how many people complain about it.

  • At this point we don't even give a flying blam about getting MM for Raid. We just want it for everything else!

  • I agree that the raids should not be easy, but what you did in the forum was match making just without the servers doing the heavy lifting for you. Few simple options for the level , class, and a Mic plugged in before you start and you and a friend or a few friends could be off raiding in no time. I can see it being a problem if randoms drop halfway but that risk comes with the forum route to. Could have the option to only join raids where you left off, or to join a new raid from the beginning , the later probably being the only option in most cases but it could still be a search option.

  • Yeah had a total tool drop out at the final boss because we wiped twice (both caused by the portal glitching badly) (he only joined in at final boss)

    If matchmaking makes it easier for more people to try the raid, there will be more people with raid experience which will likely make it easier for players above level 26 to understand the strategies necessary to actually complete the raid. I completely agree that organized teams with voice chat will be able to better handle the raid. However restricting the raid to only pre-made Fire teams is severely limiting the game for many of us that don't have enough friends on at the same time as us. I'd rather struggle with strangers than not be able to play it at all. Couple that with all the PSN problems of adding friends lately and you end up Tower hopping to find people willing to play the raid.
