Raids, Don't Give In Bungie!
So I've been reading a whole lot of articles about why not having matchmaking for raids is a bad thing and I just can't agree, here's why.
Bungie has stated they don't want this to be content people can just throw themselves at over and over again until some form of success slowly begins to occur (put that in my own words though, not Bungies). They want this to be content that takes effort to organize, if you can organize a team of people to play at the same time you gain a CHANCE at having the organization it'll take to beat this content.
This content is not for every player, I'm sorry everyone feels entitled to ever bit of content that comes with a game but that's not how it works in reality, sorry. Yes you paid for the game, and they are giving you access to the content, the same level of access they are giving EVERYONE else. Whether or not you as a player have the time or patience to access that content the way they set it up is on you.
If everyone where able to access this content whenever they want the next series of complaints you'd hear flooding from everywhere is likely how the content is too hard, and how can they expect a group of 6 strangers to work together at such a high level of play and beat this content.
Also, Bungie has provided us tools to group together and find players for this content. If you plan to raid then you clearly have an internet connection, hell it's required for the game last I checked. So don't tell me you can't hop on the internet for a few minutes and post on the forums, join a group / clan or something to find the players you need to access this content.
Don't be lazy and expect the world to be given to you, if Bungie adopted this lazy attitude of self entitlement they wouldn't be making the great games they do, and they'd be giving us trash like many other developers do, but they aren't. So you can't be either, and if you are, you don't deserve to access the content, it's not meant for you, no matter how that makes you feel on the inside, it's true, deal with it.
That is all. Thanks for the great game Bungie, I really hope you don't back down to all the heat your getting about this. Just think how much heat the Demon's Souls / Dark Souls series got for being so hard and now it's a cult classic. You already have the fan base, the people complaining over this will still buy the game, and they aren't the people that'll be around months, years from now anyways, so don't make the game about them. Do what you knows best, I'm sure you will.

54 RepliesWhere do I even begin dismantling your obscenely baseless argument against there being a system that supports voluntarily participating in a game with other people voluntarily participating in that same game rather than... well... NOT participating. Odd how harmless and logical that sounds, isn't it? Remind me how this system would adversely affect someone who has no intention of using it? Oh, that's right... it wouldn't affect you at all. Hmmm. Basically, you're sticking your nose where it doesn't belong. You don't need matchmaking? So be it. Don't use it. If others think they will need it, they are entitled to voice that foreseeable necessity--or at least personal preference--within a game they are just as much a "valued and paying participant" of as you are. Here's the scary part. On perhaps a more simplified and honest level, what you're doing here is revealing of your own fascist paradigm. It's as if you're stating, "What's adequate for me is adequate for all. To be different than me is to be discluded." You're wrong on all accounts and what's worse is that you're taking that position over something as frivolous as a game. I wouldn't even venture to guess how self-serving and ignorant your more sociologically impactful opinions could be. Needless to say, I don't think you have a clue what you're really talking about here. Next time you might just be presumptuous enough to expect your unsolicited opinion will garnish public embarrassment and save yourself the effort. I won't sit here and call you an idiot, but you sure as hell made yourself look plenty stupid. Here's a good rule to go by in life, on or off the internet; if it doesn't effect you, keep your mouth shut.
