I'm not sure how well this idea will go over, but I thought of an alternative to both the Matchmaking and the Traditional Raiding Party camps. It's simple in concept, but might be difficult in actual practice, but here it is... Change the game dynamics to a system that increases the difficulty/complexity of Missions/Strikes/Raids depending on how many players are in the Fireteam. Solo players can Solo, Social players can socialize, and everybody gets to experience the game the way that they want. If you can only get three people to go Raiding with you, you can still Raid and the game will adjust its difficulty/complexity based on your four man Fireteam. Rewards, drop rates, etc., would also increase with the higher player count (Higher risk=greater rewards). And you could increase the level difficulty/complexity even further, as you can now, by increasing the Level of the Mission/Strike/Raid. Nothing at all will change for the players who want the highest challenge, and greatest reward, given by the Raids. But those who don't care, or can't be bothered, or are just tired of the Social Grind Fest that comes with getting a full six man Fireteam, can still experience the game on their own terms.

The weekly update. The second question. They said " you have been heard" Looks like Bungie may be working on something. If it is not matchmaking, maybe a party finder? We need it.
