The most common posts, and the most active threads, are requesting optional matchmaking for Trials of Osiris and Prison of Elders. Moreover, all of the independent reviews that I've read of the House of Wolves specifically, and the broader game in general, question your baffling decision not to include optional matchmaking throughout.
I have yet to see a cogent argument against [i]optional[/i] matchmaking, yet every day many people present well-articulated arguments for it. Optional matchmaking would enhance the experience of thousands of players [i]every day[/i], and would negatively affect none.
You say you listen to us, so let's see it.
Edit: See DeeJ's comment below.
Edit 2: A few folks have suggested what I've been thinking for a while now, that Bungie's refusal to add matchmaking to end-game content is nothing more than a scheme to [i]artificially pad playtime.[/i] This is a tactic used to disguise the lack of meaningful content. While I don't wear a tin foil hat, I have NO DOUBT that Bungie knows that with matchmaking, many more of us would finish end-game content, and recognize there isn't much there.
Edit, 22 June: By now, many of you have read the EuroGamer interview with The Taken King Director, Luke Smith. If you haven't, I suggest you do. I'm so disgusted with his glib attitude - which seems viral at Bungie HQ - that I'm nearly speechless. [i]Nearly.[/i]
Edit, 26 June: I still love playing multiplayer with my sons, but have zero interest otherwise. I have a bunch of unleveled gear that will rot, as far as I care.
Now, my interest has turned to trying to keep Bungivi$ion's money-mongering, player-gouging tactics from becoming the norm for game publishers.
The loudest noise I can make is that of my wallet closing.
Edit, July 24: Bungie's campaign of censorship and propaganda should disturb each and every one of us. These tactics have been used for centuries by governments and companies to sell "lies" to the masses, and to pit neighbors against each other.

So what Bungie is saying to us is (in the tune of the old commercials): ♫ Hold the GHorn ♪, ♫ hold the Breaker ♪, ♫ special nerfing won't upset us ♪, ♫ all we say is that you let us ♪ serve it our way ♪. ♫ Have it our your way♪.... ♫ Have it our way with Taken King!♪

3 Repliesquick question .... who is deej, is he a player? I have been on these forums since about OCt 2014, and from time to time people talk about a player called Deej, but I never see him post and I never see him play? Who is he and why does he matter to some people.... I mean it is not like he is some top level player or an active contributor to the forums? So whats the deal with this Deej dude?
