No matchmaking system is an outdated idea. Thinking about pulling out my computer, hoping to find any post that doesn't demand you are this class or have this weapon or be this level, gives me plenty of time to decide to just not turn the game on and do something else.
I haven't run a raid in months because all I can think about is typing in 6 gamertag having 4 join. Waiting another 20 min for 2 more. Then starting the raid and having 3 leave after 10 min. Sounds like the least entertaining time of my life. At least if there was matchmaking and people leave I don't have to waste more time by trying to dig out more names and repeating the process.
People who have set groups of massive amounts of people have no argument in this because you have your six people so you would never touch the matchmaking system, therefore it effects you in no way. Trials of Osiris doesn't sound like a fun game mode to me anyway but to not be able to jump in and play is aggravating. I'm hoping that Prison of Elders doesn't also forgo a matchmaking system so at least allow solo, or teams of two to play. If it does I have no reason to buy this expansion.
There is no way this reaction is what bungie wants.

A very good piece to add to this. Great post.

Fantastic points. That's basically my argument. I have both perspectives I play the game on two systems and on ps4 have lots of friends and it's easy to do the content. On Xbox I have less and less time and do not enjoy the website LFG search hassle. It's been quite a nuisance and one that pushes me away and NOT brings me more into the game. Hopefully Bungie hears ALL the perspectives and decides the best approach (aka maybe optional matchmaking ;)eh? )
