the people I'm talking about are people that already/most likely dislike bungie for not putting in matchmaking. as I said, this isn't for everyone. this is for those who wouldnt otherwise have access to them anyway. and they could always split matchmaking between sections, as raids are in sections anyway. (im guessing it's the same in d2) so you can choose to stay with the current team (if they stay) or come back another time and matchmake with people who are on the same section as you. and around the same power level. and you can only search for/enter a section provided you have cleared the one before it. - you get quitters anywhere you go. and even fireteams get people who give up or have to go for long periods of time. so it'll make little difference there. most of us have been in pvp or strikes and seen team mates give up and/or go for whatever reason. people just tolerate it more if it's a friend. and those who have low tolerance for matchmaking most likely wont use it anyway. so again, it'll just be the people who are willing to suffer the trade of randoms over stranger chats. I'd be certainly willing. which means there are most definatly others out there who would too.
