I do like the optional idea. I'm all for options.
That said it's does slightly amuse me that in your argument you ask for the ability to lone wolf solo it yet complain about folks AFK ing.
I do however understand the frustration in AFK ers. IF they don't change it and Bungie seems to stick to their guns (see random Atheon teleports, all cheese removal, and loot caves) then my only suggestion for you is turn to the forums.
Find 2 folks that will team up with you and let you solo it, or actually assist you. I have had mixed results with LFG. But here on these forums it's been better.
Good luck, I would hope they give us both options. I'll take two randoms players if my friends are not online so I kinda welcome the addition.
Edit: saw a response from you below about AFK and folks getting rewards for no work. I respect that and agree it's not fair. So I support ya. Hope Bungies hears this and at least adds a option to solo it.

The difference gameplay-wise between solo and solo with two dead weights is mainly if I screw up. Playing solo and die means return to checkpoint and try again. Playing solo with afk'ers means I stay dead til the revive that never comes, meaning I might as well leave and restart from the beginning. Plus I would be granting potential rewards to players that do not deserve it, making it a morale question too. I am no stranger to helping friends and even randoms that ask for my help, but I expect them to contribute themselves or I am out of there. I do have friends I play with often, but most of us have day activities (jobs, shifts, school, family) and thus we cannot always play together for everyone to get Nightfall and Weekly for all characters. In such cases I like to just solo in the end, minding my own pace and etc.

Edited by Azreal80: 2/20/2015 6:31:20 PMValid points. I forgot about revive VS restart checkpoint issue. You sir have won a supporter. I often enjoy solo games and it's a valid point when you face a encounter, die and restart you can now approach it with different tactics and strategy and it feels good when you overcome that obstacle. Hopefully they hear folks. I'd like them to always add more choices vs less choices. Let players decide if they want a match made strike or solo ...and the same with story missions. I do the daily story missions at level 30 and often wish it would let me add some random. Those can be fun with people. At least a option. Sometime I find a random during the mission and they join up, but tahrs complete luck.
