Why Raid and Heroic Menag matchmaking won't work
I've seen a bunch of posts suggesting optional matchmaking being added to everything inside this game.
Nightfalls? Absolutely. I agree with this 100%. I would use it whenever I'm NOT going for 50k or above.
HOWEVER, optional matchmaking on RAIDS and other activities possessing a similar amount of difficulty (Heroic Menag) should NOT have matchmaking AT ALL, optional or otherwise.
Matchmaking is no better than LFG. What if you get matched with 5 other people with no Mic? Or people of a different language? Can you imagine doing Riven with a bunch of blueberries? Or even the Scourge boss?
The only way I see this thing working is if Bungie adds a warning screen detailing what you're about to get yourself into, and if you have MULTIPLE filters, like Light Level and Mic.
The major reason this request is being echoed more and more recently is apparently because of "toxic LFG". Well, how do you know one of your match made teammates won't leave because of your light level or lack of raid completions? Also, here's a tip folks;
YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN LFG POSTS!
So, I see no reason to implement raid matchmaking. If anything, it will only divide the community further and lead Bungie to nerfing raid encounters and making the game easier as a result of the vocal minority asking for this to be implemented IN THE FIRST PLACE crying about how little they succeed in actually completing the match made raid.
TLDR; Matchmaking for Raids and other difficult activities will only lead to the game's most pinnacle activities to be nerfed for this feature to actually be useful. Whether you like it or not, this game is leaned more toward socializing with other people. That isn't to say that solos can't do anything, but some activities will be out of their reach unless they are willing to LFG.
Also two words:

1 ReplyGuided games doesnt work. LFG should be in game, not on 3rd party sites, especially in this day in age of games. Matchmaking should be in every piece of content that more than 1 person to complete. Strikes and Nightfalls should have a Solo option. Raids should have a normal mode after the hard/heroic mode is made like King's Fall was back in D1. The argument that 3 or 6 random players would have a bad experience is a weak and lazy excuse. Players back in D1 proved multiple times that Raids could be done even if half the players didnt have mics. Even ran a few that way myself. PS4s, XBox comes with mics. PC players usually have multiple ways to talk to each other in game. Bungie caters to the argument cause they listen to the top 5% of players. Those players dont have problems finding players to play with. In reality, what does it matter to those who have groups to run raids with? It wont/doesnt affect you. You dont help anyone anyways run a raid. Not having matchmaking blocks 90% of the community out of content. Bungie needs to find a way to get those players involved, like they do with all the other content, i.e. gambit, Crucible.
