I don't want groups.

Hello all, Curious how the majority of you are finding people to play with. I'm really struggling getting into any content without matchmaking (one hour in PoE 32 during week 1 of HoW is IT). I've never been in a raid, the only nightfalls I've been in have been solo.... Haven't had luck on sites or these forums/clans and have zero friends interested in this game. I have 3 level 32s - If I am approaching group finding the wrong way or if there is something about my profile stats / gear that makes people not want to group with me I would love to know (other than I don't have a gally). In game lfg would be so nice.... Edit to add xbox one Edit to add: For those saying " I don't want groups" - do you just want to solo or have you given up using the tools available?

  • Feel free to join our clan. Kill the Varelse. We're young but growing. We have group activities weekly and have no restrictions on gear of any kind. We sherpa if need be and have partied up on live for bonding sessions before splitting up to do group activities. I used to use #recruitment all the time. That's how I found my current clan.

      See if any of your friends on facebook play. I haven't talked to this guy from high school in 3 years... Now we play every Tuesday.

      • Use the Recruitment sections of the forum and I'm sure you will find people to play with

      • No option for IRL friends. I see no replies stating it either. Does no-one play with IRL friends?

        Why isn't "I play with friends that I play with all the time" an option?

        • I literally had no friends playing this game when I got it, so I joined a clan but it sucked. Then I decided to make a clan and heavily advertised it on groups and forums till I reached over 50 members. Since then people have moved on to other games or found other groups, but I still played regularly with about a dozen of them and even play other games with them from time to time. Since I made a clan, I've never had a problem doing raids, or finding someone for any of the activities in Destiny. Point is, there are a lot of people out there looking for other people to game with. It will take a while, but find some people you like who enjoy doing the same activities as you (e.g. Raids). I'm really not a fan of LFG where you complete a game then discard the person after you're done with them. Destiny is so much better when it becomes a shared experience!

        • The majority of people are using the forums to find people, imagine if bungie could implement a system that automatically searches through people wanting to do the same activity, we could call it matchmaking or something

          • There are atleast 3 different lfg sites that are easy as hell to use. Including one that was featured by Bungie in one of the weekly updates. You have destinylfg.com, destinylfg.net, and destinytracker.com. On top of that Bungie has even featured a site that will match make you into a clan based on age, how often you play, timezone, and etc. Its call the100 or something like that. If you can't find someone to play with by now you are hopeless.

          • Join a clan. Seriously the best thing to do in this game- you'll always have a steady group of people to play with.

          • Destiny Forums, 30 minutes of trying to get a group for 12 minutes of playtime and a Plan C. I need to find a new game.

          • I find people via forum. My friends list is populated with "no shows" they say they want to do a specific game mode bit never show then do it some other time without me. Nightfall I usually solo if I can't find people via forum. PoE I've done 95% of completed in the higher level arena with randoms. Raids? Can never find people for them anymore and my friends never help. So I learned to solo the first 3 parts of crotas raid with my Hunter. Becoming self sufficient in this game is the only viable option.

            • Most of the End game content I play is because of destinylfg.net so yeah it's easy to find people there.

                • Find a small but solid group of people you work well with and it all just falls into place. I started this process running strike playlists over and over. When you run them back to back with the same randoms and you like how they play, friend them up.

                • The best way is to join a psn party chat and ask what people want to do but of course I do not do it like that. I browse what people are doing and try to jump in a group that is a member short.

                • Clan. It's the only way. Try to find a small one with ppl living nr you. I have about 10 players that will help each other out to do things. 7 are strong players. 3 get carried and openly admit it but they are top blokes and we have a top laugh. Now and again il run the occasional thing off forums. They work well. 90% of the time it's decent
