The only things I could see potentially being issues are: a) Matchmaking would grab most of the player base, making it even more difficult for folks using LFG to manually find a group. But, really those type of players typically have raid groups and clans they regularly play with anyway. The folks who need matchmaking are the ones being left out and not able to level up. Thus, they never meet the hm requirements of 315+ or whatever. Really, I see this as more of a potential solution than a potential issue. b) Matchmaking, as it currently exists in other parts of this game now, would not allow for any control of the fireteam. For example, when you're playing a weekly heroic with matchmaking, you can't kick anyone for being obnoxious, not focused on the objective. But, I suppose you could just leave and rejoin another group on your checkpoint, if that would even be an option. Additionally, it's still better than not being able to even try or complete the damn thing. This would save time by not having to constantly manage finding people to replace the ones that leave. You would just keep trying until you get a group that gets it so you can finally get to the next checkpoint. I digress, Bungie would find the number of people in raids increase dramatically. They would have a lot more than 30% of their player base with a kf raid completion. This would further extend their gameplay experience with Destiny. But more importantly, communication and coordination are key to raids. Random people coming and going would make this potentially very difficult and unmanageable for players. I foresee a lot of folks getting frustrated with new people coming in, failing, then leaving. They would give up themselves. Eventually, the player base would all learn how to do each raid as a whole. It seems there are a few potential issues that would need to be circumvented in order for matchmaking to be applicable for raids, or any other time intensive event that requires good communication and coordination. However, it's time Bungie takes steps to do something about the experience. Good hunting. -Fawk

  • This makes sense but if this applied to trearch zombies myself and a lot of my friends would do random matchmaking and run easter eggs or high rounds for them just to help. I run raids for a lot of people and have since vanilla.
