Since Bungie said that they would only consider this if people wanted it - please make it happen.
Not many people have that core group of 5 friends that they can arrange the same time and play. Even with joining a clan we still need to use outside sources to find a team. That itself is already matchmaking, just not done through Destiny/Bungie.
I do believe that people would play more if they had a guaranteed match making.
Possible alternative - normal mode would be matchmaking while the hard mode of it would be by fireteam only.
Please and thank you.

See it would be good but except for if there would people who would only join for the checkpoints
