Why matchmaking won't work in raids
I see posts saying we need matchmaking for raids. This will not work and will lead to massive problems due to the way loot is given in raids. Ask yourself these questions regarding raid matchmaking:
What happens if someone lags out or quits? They are screwed?
Do you only matchmake for fresh start raids? If not where do I spawn in at to join?
What happens if I spawn in at a point where the chests and rewards were already given? No loot for you?
Couldn't your skip large parts of the raids looking to join sections to only get rewards?
If I random join a raid what happens if I just did this part? I don't want to beat Atheon again because I just did. I want gorgons maze so I just quit and rejoin again.
I know that many of you think that matchmaking is the answer to playing the raid. I assure you it will ruin the experience for everyone.
EDIT : I am aware that raid matchmaking works fine in other games but this isn't those games. I am not opposed to a well thought out matchmaking system for the raid but so far none of the responses have presented that.

Because everyone who is opposed to it [b]wouldn't have to use it[/b]. <gasp> Also, you should be locked out of the #feedback forum if you don't have a linked profile. In regard to your concerns though, if you get put in a raid in-progress they could give you a bonus of some kind. Maybe a couple engrams or mats. They could also say before you join, [i]this raid is in progress, press A to join, B to rejoin search.[/i] If someone quits, put a cool down on when they can rejoin. If they habitually quit, extend it. If you're running a section you've already done and already received loot, give lesser rewards like 30 spinmetal, etc. The other thing that those opposed to matchmaking seem to unilaterally agree on, is that most players are trash, quitters or dicks and frankly that's a pigheaded and bogus view. Are there going to be some bad seeds? Sure. But there's also going to be many more cool people enjoying the game and having fun together.
