Well, to be fair, they do have access to the entire game, they're just too lazy to get on here and find five others, or even their friendslist, to play the raids. That's their fault. You ever get the "You're too lazy" lecture about not getting up or getting or job, or doing anything productive? They can receive the same lecture right now.

I don't have any friends that will be playing Destiny. A sad side effect of being old. My only issue is that there doesn't seem to be anyway to chat with people in game, so I don't know how one is supposed to actually meet any new online friends.

Its not really as simple as not "being lazy."

Sure it is. It's a pseudo-mmo. You can't convince me that one wouldn't be able to just ask about joining a raid. MM is not required for such a thing.

It's not anything MMO, it's a console shooter. And life is not always predictable, some people have jobs and families that it's very difficult to coordinate a time when their 5 other friends all have jobs and families. Why do people seem to think that "well, when I have time, so will everyone else."

You bring up an absolutely correct point that is entirely irrelevant to the topic. Adding matchmaking to raids will do nothing to help a player with coordinating with their friends. The point is that it is not difficult to [i]find[/i] people who wants to do raids. Someone having less time does not impact that. They just need to reach out and stop expecting people to be handed an experience. I am actually rather thrilled about no matchmaking in this regard (it was something that I had discussed in the Bnet P7 podcast), as I believe it will provide another tool to develop a community. Having a button that just slot machines some players doesn't really build anything. Why stick with people and develop new friendships when you can just keep hitting this button. Instead, jump into the tower and start talking with people, that's where the pseudo-mmo aspect comes into play.
