I hate to be this guy...

But if you don't have five friends to play Raids with.... Maybe you should get out of the house more often. Just saying...

  • Actually because myself and my friends have separate and fulfilling lives is why we won't have to time to raid. But if you had a life, you'd know that, right?

  • People that live near me aren't up to my standards for friendship. The ones that are, are not purchasing it, either for Xbox ONE or at all. But then again I'm not complaining about raids so it doesn't matter. I'm also not an asshole, it's just my friends have to be open, kind and somewhat intelligent.

    • Getting out of the house is why I don't have 5 friends who will be playing his game on the same system as me let alone have time to raid. I'm a 32 yo grown ass man with two careers and a family of four. I go to the gym 5 days a week, work on side projects for work at home and behave a a a productive bed of my family. Gaming is my 'me time', I game between the hours of 1030 and 2 mountain time. As a well functioning and active adult, it really isn't conducive to finding raid groups without a social component in game that is easily used. I need people who have time to dedicate to gaming on hours I can play, which means I need to build a larger friend pool to pull from. I've never been in a position in console gaming that I needed this many online friends to play a game with. The logic that you have to play with people you know well is absurd and proven wrong by CoD zombies. I've gotten to lvl 43 with randoms in zombies and generally it's not hard to find a group that is just as dedicated to playing as you. Especially when the content isn't even available until a player had reached lvl cap and needs to earn legendary and exotic gear to be able to compete. In WoW a guild was a necessity because of the amount of raid available and various lvls. Since there were no real requirements other than lvl and there were a lot of dungeons and raids, too many people who weren't ready would try and afk or bail. In game guilds or clans is the way around this but it doesn't seem like bungie sees this as a priority. I'm going to be seriously let down if I have to randomly friend invite people I see in game and gamble on whether or not their a total dick and waste even more of my time trying to befriend them. And don't brings that horseshit about finding groups or clans on the forums, I don't find it acceptable or reasonable to have to resort to forums to socialize when it could be in game. Plus it totally undermines Bungies intent in having no MM. In summery, a lot of us do have real lives with real friends and gaming doesn't cross over. Bungie needs to cater to all dedicated players who invest the time to get high level gear, not just young kids with no lives who live in their parents basement and older people who haven't moved on to the next phase of life yet.

          • There's nothing to feel guilty when you say that. I %100 agree. If you don't have atleast 5 friends that play with you then I'm sorry. I don't think that be that big a problem on xbox but I'm pretty sure ps might have more of this problem

            • What do you mean get out of the house more often? I thought the point of playing online is to make more online friends how you gonna do that if you go outside? More then half my friends are from different states and country's. so I don't see how telling them to get out if the house would help there situation.

            • Thats not why im one of the most popular kids in my school and i go outside and play baseball everyday and that's not the case cause i do have 5 friends to play with but i doubt many of us will be the same level to play raids, so if i achieved level 20+ i bet they wont be cuz we dont play video games as much as most of you

              Having five real life friends who are all on the same page as far as gaming interests is somewhat rare.

            • "Maybe you should get out of the house more often." What does going outside have to do with finding friends to do raids? I don't know how often you go out, but not everyone you meet has your system, has the money, likes destiny, or likes video games in general. My 2 best friends skate by on what is essential with little luxuries from time to time, and one isn't big on video games unless it's a puzzle game she can play like Portal. Even portal got too annoying to take in all at once. Not to mention a lot of my other friends have similar situations. The point I'm trying to make is not everyone you know has that kind of money unless you live in a rich location. I'm privileged to have a job and little bills at the moment to get a PS4.

            • How does IRL friends has anything to do with gaming friends. They don't have to be your friend to play the same game as you or play games at all.

            • I don't think they should have match making for raids. But also just because I don't have friends playing destiny doesn't mean I don't have friends.

                So getting out if the house will help me get more online friends? I should try that sometime, go a walk and maybe when I get back il will have more online friends.

                  • You realize that is a tad contradictory, right? If I go out of the house to meet people, and spend time building friendships to the point where they will just go out and buy destiny JUST to raid with me, then what is the point? Can't I simply stay inside and meet people in the game like the creators had intended? BOOM
