It's tribalism they're selling here. I like the thought of connecting to something more wholesome than a WreckNashon club where we worship some mlg douche. I thought we all had something in common but this like a middle school lunchroom. Clans are a thing of the past. This isn't yugioh or D&D and we can play the game more efficiently and protect our privacy better with matchmaking. We don't have clans anymore since the ku klux klan, and it's time to get with it and stop caring about narcissistic cliques.
Clan leaders fear matchmaking because it's a better alternative and easier to play. Clans will likely lose many followers and participants if matchmaking comes because it's more convenient. Clan leaders fear the day that when they go to send invites, we'll ignore them because we are already getting to enjoy the activities without needing them anymore.
No matchmaking has been a boon to twitch streamers as well. Lots of subs just tune in to get hope to be picked to run a raid or ToO

"Protect our privacy"? The only thing my clan knows about me is my PSN ID. It's plenty efficient to go into my clan chat, announce that I need partners for Crota hard mode, and wait. In less than 10 minutes generally, I have a team in orbit with me ready to go, and I know they're not going to be sitting afk waiting for me to do the raid so they can get the rewards- unlike what happens with random matchmaking. My clan members are known quantities. We may not be MLG good, we may not finish the raid in 10 minutes the way people on this forum brag that they do, but we have a damn good time and we're good friends. Were you turned down for membership in a clan? Is that where this is coming from? (Maybe they've been reading your posts? Maybe they actually like Destiny?)
