Just like Destiny 2, Guided Games had potential that was never realised because Bungie didn't have a clue what to do with it.

I still love the "Beta" tag attached to it, lol

Guided games will never really take off without more players willing to be the guide. I'm not complaining, I can't really blame someone who doesn't want to use their playtime to babysit morons like me. I still think the game would benefit from MM in more activities more than a guided game feature.. I know this has been argued since 2014, but I'm not giving up: Players who don't want to match with randoms wouldn't be affected at all. This part is why I don't understand why so many are so adamant about keeping MM out for the rest of us. It's like being mad about am elevator in a building. You can still take the stairs all you want. But those who can't walk as well anymore still have a chance to go up a floor. Those who want to give the raid a shot but for whatever reason are too anxious or apprehensive about reaching out to other players actually have a chance to raid. Would more teams fail? Absolutely, but I guarantee that many players will get farther in a raid than they ever have... Past the director screen... As people try and fail, more people would at the very least gain experience, and as we collectively improve at each encounter, more players would get to experience a Destiny raid. As it is now, a laughably large chunk of players haven't ever raided in a franchise where the end game basically revolves around the raid/lair/dungeon format. Again, lots will fail. There will be disorganized and dysfunctional teams. Just like in many LFG matchups, the main difference is that we didn't waste 20-40 minutes looking for a team that potentially won't get past the first encounter anyway. You can balance this out by simply requiring a higher power level for a MM raid, just like with the attempt at guided games. And Bungie could still reward those who want to help others, possibly with an extra drop if you're the only one who's completed the raid in your party.... Just an example, not a solid suggestion... So yeah, ditch GG and just open up MM. Pretty please?

GG is the best example of how stubborn Bungo really is. No explanation needed.

They should put Guided Games in a separate node on the director. When you click on it, you’ll get a list of players looking for a guide or seekers for different activities. Give increased drops, xp, and brightdust to make it more desirable. An emblem in not enough as a reward.

That's one of my biggest issues with Bungie Vaulting content. Instead of building on something and giving it more purpose, they're just removing it from the game. The Menagerie is a perfect example. They could change up the loot pool. They could change up the Runes. They could add new encounters. They could come up with new bosses. But no. They're just removing the Menagerie entirely. Bungie tries to justify Vaulting by saying the game is getting too big, but really it's just an excuse not to come up with new innovations for old content so we stop asking them about it.

A little background on GG. It was created by a Bungie employee named M.E. Chang, she said as a female gamer she was often bullied using traditional LFG’s so she wanted to create an LFG “ safe space “.

Ye its busted. The stupid thing is, im in a really strong raiding clan, but sometimes we are a man short due to timezones. Everytime we que up to try pick a guy up in guided games, we get nobody. Last night we had 5 of us for GOS, we are all highly experienced with the enlightened seal, we went into guided games trying to get one guy, any guy. We could have carried and taught. But no luck after 20 minutes lol. We ended up badgering a 6th clan mate who didnt even need the loot to hop on and jump in with us. So someone who may have needed it missed out. Needs a major rework.

I feel it would work better if they added chat box to console So many destiny LFG users don’t want to use the mic (sometimes I don’t cuz I have loud background noise) Please add chat box destiny. It would be so helpful for us console users.

It could have worked. The only thing that had to be done was lower the minimum amount of players willing to guide to one.

My clan thought we'd see if anyone wanted help in a raid a few weekends back, loaded it up and sat there waiting for someone to join for about 20 mins till we thought sack it, used the xbox lfg instead and was raiding within 5 mins. Wish more people used it as it could be a good tool! I've tried seeking in the past too and it gave me a wait time of an hour.... Lol not sitting on that screen doing nothing for an hour! They need to make it run in the background so you get an alert when the fireteam is ready to be joined.

Just add Optional Matchmaking across the board and be done with it.

A handful of people still use it, I actually used it a few weeks ago and that's actually how I found the clan I'm currently in, the problem is that people are so apprehensive about it because they think they're gonna get paired with some slack jawed goober. Thing is I've come across more mouth breathers on LFG sites than anywhere else, cause with Guided Games the the guides are always in a clan and they've ran the raid countless times, with LFG it's a bunch of randoms who've never met one another and there's always ALWAYS three people trying to take the lead of the raid. I'd rather sit in the GG que then beat my head against the wall called LFG
