Options are a bad thing, apparently. The fact of the matter is that there really is no logical reason not to include raid matchmaking. It's just another option. "But you'll run into quitters, noobs, and other undesirables!" -Yes, you may run into those kind of players, but that's true for every game with matchmaking. Matchmaking is inherently risky in that regard; you don't know the kind of players you'll match up with and whether they'll be good, or if they'll quit at the first sign of trouble or whatnot. But whenever you enter matchmaking, you understand that risk and accept it and take a chance. "But raids should be planned and played with friends! Matchmaking won't allow for that!" -Again, that is the risk of using matchmaking. That doesnt mean the option shouldnt exist. You can ignore MM if you want. If you want organize your fireteam via friend's list, forums, clans, whatever, then do so. "BUT RAID MM WILL RUIN THE EXPERIENCE FOR THE REST OF US!" -No. "BUT BUNGIE WILL NERF RAIDS BECAUSE OF MATCHMAKING!" -No.
