Yes. The game was always advertised as being more fun with friends, but rewards, although sometimes different or of different values, could take you to higher level with some dedication. Looks like it will be impossible to level up as a solo player in the future. Loved binging on new (old) 6v6 PvP but you'll never find me raiding or trialing by going to LFG's. Enjoy playing by myself without social interactions, have those all day. Just me and my weapon and the pleasure of getting good headshots. Had a cool art group of friends here but it moved to Discord for "reasons" and I lost touch. No one from that group seems to play Destiny much anymore anyway. Also, tried guided game for Nightfall, had time to fold my laundry, walk the dog, and still no game. Why? Why not have matchmaking? It doesn't require lifelong friendship, heck, it doesn't even require a mic.
