I am really disappointed in the raid part of the game. I do have friends but they have their own groups. Without a built in way to locate a group, I , as I am sure many, are unable to do the raids or get the gear \specific to the raids. This gear and weapons, as you know, is the best in the game and many players cant get access.

I have a very similar problem, and for all those who are trying to refer you to the recruit forums are misleading you. I have been on them all day to get a few people to "help" and then bounce out once they have the check point. This is very annoying. I try to find a group but it seems a never ending task. I fear I will never get to finish the raid and then bungie wonders why people op to "cheesing" the raids. I paid $60 + $35 for the game and this is not cool that I am unable to play 100% of the game available to me.
