Raid Matchmaking: My Stance
So, thank you for reading this in advance. I will have you know that this is not a rant, it is simply one person's stance on raid matchmaking.
As Bungie stated in a previous weekly update, the raid is meant to be completed by groups of friends who have coordination and ridiculous skill. However, Bungie also acknowledges that fireteams have met each other at the door of the vault, grouped up, fought together, and won. I would like to make a point that that is basically matchmaking, just far more manual. If you see what I'm saying, that happens, so why couldn't matchmaking work?
Thank you for reading. I sincerely hope Bungie sees this, and considers the idea. The reason that I bring this up is that I don't have 20 friends, and I don't have time to waste half a day looking for a fireteam.

2 RepliesHeres a post I made with a solution to for the Matchmaking problem. http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/77566342/0/0 My personal stance is that something should be done about people who don't have the networking skills to find a group of people to raid with regularly, or the time. I know work often gets in the way of one or two of the people I prefer raiding with. On the flipside, the chance of a Lv 25 or 26 getting thrown in is too high to take matchmaking seriously. The randomness of the teams coupled with people unable to listen or work together would cause many to just Rage quit. Leaving most people in a no win situation time and again. While my idea isn't perfect (and likely not doable in reality, on paper its nice), it provides Team leaders with the chance to view a potential recruit before having him take up a slot on the Fireteam. Anyways, I hope they do something.
