Matchmaking for Raids(?) & Moments of Triumph Difficulties for Some

Matchmaking is a large want from the community for Raids, especially amongst solo players, anti-social players, and players who don't play often due to circumstances. Being in all three of these categories makes it hard to find groups to do activities such as raids. This has been a problem for many people including my self since year 1 and the VoG. Another factor is the large experience bias people have, expecting good players only and mics or certain equipment. People can argue to suck it up and just play more but it is difficult to simply feed all of a person's time into a video game when there is family, work, school, etc for people to worry about. Me myself I have a hearing impairment and I have trouble hearing certain tonal differences in peoples voices, in person, on TV, in games, etc. This makes it frustrating to play raids as I have been constantly kicked out for not being able to hear and ask to have things repeated leaving me with the assumption I simply cannot play a raid ever due to this. Also being an extremely anti social person, stemming from very mild social disabilities, it makes it difficult to accomplish certain tasks involving many people and it makes me feel all the more put down when called bad or shitty due to my hearing difficulties. This all wouldn't have been an issue worth writing about (probably) if the moments of triumph didn't force one to do a hard mode oryx, or raid in general. It may be easy to some but for inexperienced players, players very short on time, disabled players, etc it's very hard to find people who are willing to do it with you especially with the current, oh you must have all these things and tons of exp and no noobs, mindset. Basically in conclusion I wish there was matchmaking or something of the sort for Raids to make it easier for people like me, and for people like me to avoid being subjected to verbal abuse because of our difficulties in life affecting us, or inexperience, or just plain difficulties with doing group activities such as raids. Edit: You think I'm being lazy or not joining or utilizing forums, lfg sites etc. I have been and still do, the problem is the expectations are set at levels where only experienced players are accepted to things with the options for inexperienced players there, but very limited and hard to find without spending large amounts of time trying to find a group that accepts. This is not an option for some as there are time constraints placed by work, school, family and other factors that make it stressful or difficult. Adding an OPTIONS, not a forced implementation but an option for matchmaking would help people gaon experience they need to be accepted by the standards placed by players. I don't deny that there are groups for noobs, or people with disabilities, etc, but they are very limited and it would make a lot of newer players, people with little time, inexperienced players, players with disabilities and etc much more satisfied and less frustrated. Tl;dr more options for those who aren't as fortunate/ are biased against by the general player-body would be a welcomes implementation by said less fortunate players. Edit 2: I'm just looking for [b]constructive[/b] feedback, if you have suggestions for people like me, great. If you share my sympathies or don't, let me know how. But don't accuse or assume the niche I'm in is lazy or unwilling or not fit to play raids please. Edit 3: Many of you have talked about an in game lfg type matchmaking, or just an in game lfg overall instead of the idea of general matchmaking. I think it's actually a better idea than matchmaking, to change my perspective on the matter. The more input the better!

  • Best example of why this would not work is the division. Matchmaking is trash for endgame content. the lfg right here in these forums works fine, there are some who post with crazy requirements if u don't meet then make your own.
