Enable matchmaking for raids and Prison of Elders

Let me preface this by saying I get it - Bungie wants players to get on the forums and be involved with the community beyond just the game, hence the current method of assembling a fireteam for raids and Prison of Elders. But what about the players who may only have an hour or so to spare on a weeknight after work and just want to make the most of their gaming experience in a short amount of time? This why I believe matchmaking should be enabled for current/future raids, Prison of Elders and any subsequent co-op game modes. It's understandable that players are looking to join those of a specific skill set or friends for difficult missions, however some of us are just fine with being paired up if it means actually getting to play vs recruiting and waiting for others to join. Keep the option to assemble a fireteam but also include the option for matchmaking. I have to imagine I'm not the only one who thinks this.

    I've never understood Bungie's stance on this and to be honest this has forced me to quit playing as much as i would like. I guess i don't see the difference between having random matchmaking in game versus having to be forced to go to some external site (i.e. necessitating you have your phone, tablet or pc close at hand) and randomly pick up other players to form a group. In either case you are pugging the event with people you do not know and who are prone to all of the pitfalls of those in matchmaking (i.e. rage quitting, etc.). So to me, their stance has nothing to do with forcing a community spirit etc. but rather trying to increase bungie site traffic etc. At the very least they need to institute some in-game looking for group tool/mechanism.
