Raids Need Matchmaking
After playing many ours of the Destiny Beta my favorite part by far was the Level 6 Strike Mission. The reason this was my favorite part of the game is because it included 1--3 player match making. This is not something I knew I wanted until spending 2+ hours with the two guys I was randomly paired with. At first I was just going through and didn't realize I we were working together but once we came to the first boss it became aparent that we would continue failing unless we revived each other and worked together. We went on to work closely together to take down the multiple bosses and we had a blast. I was truly surprised how well we worked together and how much I enjoyed the experience.
That said, I really hope Bungie introduces matchmaking for RAID's, and does not require they be played with friends only as they stated, http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2014/07/31/destinys-end-game-raids-require-five-other-friends-to-play/.

3 RepliesSorry but raids are a different ball game then strikes. They need to NOT allow random matchmaking. But make some friends in the strikes leading up to level 20, invite them into a fireteam, become better friends and then ask them to do the raid. A strike is only 10 (if you are Datto) -30 minutes. Raids may be HOURS. You want a good Team and cooperation. Also you got lucky with your strike matchmaking experience. If you got matched with a person that had NO clue what was going on and you and the 1 other person sat at the Laser grid area while that 3rd guy just keep running around outside in the "pre strike open area" killing an endless supply of re spawning Hive Knights you might think differently. But Bungie forums are a great place to meet friends and create a clan, group or other to attack the raid when you are ready. Just wait until September and then decide. I'll bet when the full game drops and you get a few more strikes with randoms and very very bad experience with a random strike you will see the light and go in with fireteam friends only.
