<sigh> Why? No, not "Why did you do this at all?". Rather, "Why did you FORCE us to do this at all?" Change can be good. - I know that there is a lot of lonely Destiny players out there who need random friends for a few minutes to complete content. Matchmaking meets this need. - Destiny is a social game. Matchmaking further recognizes and reinforces this point. - Three is better than one (or two), right? Change can be bad. - Sometimes we want a challenge. For us mere mortals who don't solo the raids, the Weekly Heroic and Nightfall are the go-to proving grounds. - We're not all lonely, but for a myriad of reasons, sometimes we choose to play alone. - One is better than three (or two), right? Absolutely - when the sparrow-mounted randoms charge headlong into the fray, leaving their teammates in the dust, skipping almost all content, passing enemy after enemy, only to enter a darkness zone alone and DIE. Result - WIPE!!! Really Bungie!? You didn't see this coming? <sigh> No, change isn't always good. But, CHOICE is great! Give us the OPTION to matchmake. Don't force it on us.
