[quote][quote][quote][quote][quote][quote]Solo player here. Love the game and everything in it that allows me to solo. Matchmaking activities are great. However, I absolutely hate the idea of and will never be getting a "fire team" together to run certain non match making activities. This excludes me from many activities that lead to pinnacle and exotic weapons and I am ok with that for now. I also fully understand the psychological and other aspects of why Bungie pushes and promotes fire teams. As a solo player I have my limits on how much content I am excluded from because I choose to play solo. If content exclusion get's to the point that I personally feel the game is just not worth the money for me, then I will begrudgingly spend it somewhere else. I bought the first Destiny on day one and have bought every single expansion from D1 and D2 since then. Love the game but in the end, if Bungie doesn't want my money that's ok. Also just wondering how many other solo's are in the community. Solo...signing out.[/quote] This game is probably not for you then.[/quote] That’s their decision to make not yours.[/quote] Youre right, but it be like me being a meat eater going into a vegan shop -blam!- because theres no meat. I can -blam!- all day, but they still arent adding meat to the menu.[/quote] It isn’t like that at all because this restaurant has solo play on the menu.[/quote] Im not gonna argue with you. Bungie has set the game up in a way that is social. If you wanna play solo more power to you, but dont expect solo accommodating when the design decisions point to social play time and time again. The ppl on this forum baffle me.[/quote] What’s baffling? The fact that I don’t accept your false analogy? The game is designed to be played solo and in fire teams. Both. Vegan restaurant menus aren’t designed for vegan and non-vegan diners. Not both. What does “social” even mean to you? It’s a very vague term and means everything from FarmVille to a completely solo game that allows you to tweet achievements in game. The design of the game isn’t “social”. It’s designed to be played by solo players and players in premade fireteams. That is just an objective fact.

As a game that Bungie is now embracing the "MMO" portion, shouldn't they be supporting the social aspect of the game? Make it easier to find another guardian or group of guardians to play with? Part of what got people like myself, and maybe the OP excited about Destiny was this chance to explore this space magic filled universe on our own, bump into another adventurer and team up to take on bigger bads than we could on our own. With the current setup, it feels a little more along the lines of "either know other people that can play as the same time as you, or go it alone."
