More polls!

I'm for it. Only because some people have quirky play times. Personally I never know when I'm going to be able to play. My work schedule absolutely denies me the ability to set aside time to raid. One day I may have hours to play, sometimes I can't turn my xbox on for a week. Give the raid MM prerequisites that ensure the people know how to play the game and are decent at it "Must complete all Strikes in Nightfall difficulty 20 times" for example. If people want to, and are able to, group with friends to take on the raids then more power to them. Let the MM people beat their heads against the wall with random strangers. Who knows? They might make new friends and find a group that works well together and BAM! A new clan is born. The only bad thing that can come from MM raids are whiny people that feel entitled to the content and can't work well as a team. But hopefully that prerequisite will filter them out. And if it doesn't, ignore them. Simple as that. If Bungie does want to appeal to the whiners, create and option to dumb down the difficulty [i]but[/i] the loot table changes to the same stuff you get in the Nightfall difficulty strikes. Seems fair, doesn't it?

I'm against it for the simple fact that people are too lazy to find others to play with. They want you to be social and meet new people. Also, matchmaking with just lead to more complaining about how hard it is and how people always quit. I don't want raids nerf'd because scrubs can't find a good group to kill anything.

Raid Matchmaking would [u][b]NOT[/b] [/u]nerf the raid to appeal to everyone and it will have absolutely no effect on private groups and clans. Bungie said there is a Normal and Hard mode for the Raid's. Normal Raid's could be set for Matchmaking for those that want to get a taste for taking part in Raid's or those that normally play solo or only have a couple of friends on Destiny and need Matchmaking to fill up the rest of their Fireteam or those that simply just just want hop on and play a Raid for 30 minutes or an hour and leave to do something else. Hard Raid's that are nearly impossible to beat would then be there for organized groups and clans with no matchmaking enabled. Hard mode would be for only the most dedicated that want to fail over and over again and invest countless days and weeks trying to complete a single Raid. There's no reason why we can't have both beyond Bungie not wanting to put forth the effort to offer it and enough of the community demanding Matchmaking to be in some portion of the Raid aspect. And OP, if you're going to post a poll worth Bungie looking at, don't be retarded and post a completely bias one sided opinion in regards to the choices available.

6 man raids are no different than 5-6 man heroic dungeons in WoW and/or GW2. Totally doable with MM. Hardest thing they could throw at you are puzzles requiring 6 people to stand in specific locations to avoid a wipe or unlock a door. Adding random people to your friends list just to participate in a small aspect of one game is no different than using MM (just more of a hassle). People that are against MM don't plan to use it anyhow so why are they against it? Makes no sense to me. The way you have fun is totally different from the next person. I say let everyone enjoy the game the way they want. Raid MM doesn't equal to nerfed challenge.

Definitely against. If you need to use matchmaking to do a raid then you shouldn't be doing it to begin with. A lot of people here think raids are just another Strike or something like Firefight, something very casual when they are absolutely not meant to be like that.

A lot of people online don't even communicate or use their mics. I wouldn't want to be stuck with a few teammates who don't help or communicate.

We need MM for raids just like we have for strikes. Not everyone will have 5 other friends to run a raid, with. We all need the option to go Premade or MM, period.

I play World of Warcraft, and on WoW there is something called Looking for Raid. This version of the raid is so toned down that you can literally focus the boss the entire time and win, but random groups STILL have trouble downing bosses. This is 25 people, where every person contributes a smaller part in the raid. Imagine this with 6 people, where everyone has a larger role. A couple of bad people would ruin the raid completely, and make everyone frustrated. End-game raids are best saved for coordinated groups. Not only will you have a greater chance at success, but you will also have a better time playing with people you know.

I'm all for it as a choice. Some disclaimers though: *It really depends on whether or not Destiny will have difficulty settings for raids. *It should be the lowest difficulty setting only, or atleast until Bungie has had time to evalulate the results. *The possible - and perhaps also inevitible - MM raid tweaks should not affect "manual raids". Swtor has bolster for Group finder, which doesnt affect manually organized raids. The latter shouldnt be playing on the story mode setting anyway...... but nonetheless. *In the event that they do implement raid MM it's crucial that it comes with open chat but at that point they might aswell just give us the chat options to manually organize in-world pugs instead. Additionally: *I don't think this poll is representing the community as whole. I think it's more likely that MMO'ers, who are used to not having ideal MM alternatives (mostly due to lack of trinity roles in the queue), are more likely to share their opinion than console gamers, who are used to MM but at this point arent fully aware what raids are or if they're even interested in running them. Hence, if the poll had been taken back when destiny was first announced and the site only contained Halo players I think it would have been close to 100 % in favor of it. *The real issue here is the game's lack of social options (as an [u]option[/u]). If there had been text, instance - or proximity chat we wouldnt have had this problem because it would have been easy to organize these raids.

Become an Agent....make friends

Why should hard be disabled for the guys doing raids by way of MM? Because you and eveyrone else who's taking that stance on the subject is a -blam!-ing idiot. Please shut your mouth, and keep your opinions to yourself. I mean really, you have to be some kind of lame worthless, p.o.s. to even take offense at randoms.... deciding they want to attempt HARD content with other randoms. QUIT TRYING TO DICTATE HOW OTHER PEOPLE SHOULD PLAY A GAME YOU -blam!-ING ASSHOLES! This is the same as all the idiots fighting against a Pilot Only Playlist for Titanfall. You don't have to use that system. IF you want to do raids with your friends.. THEN GO -blam!-ING DO IT! But don't -blam!-ing limit the options of other players. Otherwise, I'm gonna tell you straight... GO -blam!- YOURSELVES! Oh... we can't let randoms play custom games. Because if we did that, then every custom game I'd like to play would be infested by randoms..... Same retardedness. You people assume, that just because an option exists. That you are forced to use that option. GET A -blam!-ING CLUE AND SHUT THE F.U.C.K. UP. GET A -blam!-ING CLUE BEFORE YOU PUT FORTH AN OPINION! Because all I see are assholes opening their mouths, with the intention of trying to limit the options of other players. I mean, if they had MM raids. Would you sit there all day thinking about all the randoms trying to attempt the raid? Getting pissed off, that randoms are raiding? And they didn't spam invites on a forum to do so? Would it piss you off just thinking about it? Even though, you're not actually witnessing any of it or forced to be a part of their raiding group. Just the thought, that it's happening apparently is enough for you people to open that mouth of yours. Well I'm about stick my digital dick in it. If you continue to keep it open.

Really don't see what the issue is.. Implement it and.. if you want to use it, then use it. If not, don't use it.
