Just been in one of the countless threads about raid and NF matchmaking and DeeJ responded to it with this:
[quote]At current, our philosophy about endgame content is that part of the challenge includes forming up a team. This is a strong community filled with players who are looking for teammates. Why not seek each other out here and band together?[/quote]
It's a fair statement at first glance but it highlights some key factors in the Bungie development process that are a problem and need to be addressed.
It's all well and good saying that you want players to form teams themselves but the community has spoken and you've pushed them away. You've heard what they want and in return said no because YOU, the developers, don't want it to be that way. Is that the future of destiny? A game that ignores the community because the developers want something else?
I could go on about how I've payed for the game and blah blah blah but I wont. I'll just say that you continuously talk about how our feedback is one of the most important aspects of destiny and that our opinions matter but then we give an opinion and you reply that your opinion matters more. Whether you listen to us or not is your choice but don't lie to us and treat us like idiots (even though I'm sure many people on this forum are), we deserve the truth, if nothing else.
Does our feedback matter?
Sidenote:
[spoiler]I'm not blaming you for any of this DeeJ, I know you're just a messenger and only a fool blames a messenger for delivering his master's words.[/spoiler]

Edited by D1eThx: 6/21/2015 5:48:09 PMDeej doesn't know what it feels like to really truly NEED matchmaking and etheric light. He ascended up his gear in an instant. Do you really believe he grinded hard for his gear? I saw him do it. Just dipped into his bag of etheric light and his struggle was over. It's the same with raids and PoE 32,34,35. Just chose any 2 or 5 of him MILLIONS of friends and he's off. He couldn't even imagine what it's like for a casual, working person with a family and commitments. If he played it in his free time only ~ if he had to trawl the100 or lfg ~ he would understand. [I bet he does have work, family and commitments btw, but I'm talking about everyone else on the planet that is not him. People who don't play this game for a job. The time we spend working a job is time he's playing and leveling up his gear with his easy acquired light. When we get home and pick up the controller AND phone or tablet he's already been in destiny all day. He probably doesn't even play destiny] But he doesn't have to and so he just says shut up I'm OK so screw you. Like all the other pvp kids on the boards. Just let go and move into something else. Millions of former players heard the reply to matchmaking and put destiny down.
