[u]this game needs matchmaking for everything[/u] because it's a pain to even get a game going , one has to waste countless hours with various forums spamming , discrimination based on gear/grimoire/light levels is strong in the community , not even speaking about people who kick others right before the rewards
[b]SOLUTION: add matchmaking as a option [/b]
[b]HOW?[/b] : simply add it into the game settings to turn matchmaking ON/OFF. if there is a pretty useless option to wear a helmet in the tower there , why isnt a matchmaking option available for those who need it ?
i had to add over 500 random people to my friendlist which i mostly met during the initial game where i added em only and never saw em again, for each person i added i had to spend between 5-30 minutes forums spamming and waiting , if i take a generous average of 10 minutes per player im at [b]83 wasted hours only to overcome bad game design[/b] in terms of matchmaking and thats a joke considering the game had a 500M $ budget

here's my experience with this current "brilliant" destiny matchmaking[/b].
1.) start destiny
2.) decide to play something that doesnt have matchmaking
3.) look at my friendlist which has always about 100+ players online but i lost track who they are since i only added em for one game and they busy doing their own stuff
4.) go away from console to my laptop and spam forum threads , one post isnt enough because it gets lost after a minute in the depths of the thread
5.) go back to console to see if there are any friend requests
6.) if no friend requests , repeat steps 4 + 5
7.) if someone responds by just providing a nickname i have to write it down as its hard to memorize nicnames such as xxxSup3rPlayya5678xxx , the go back to enter it into my ps4 and send a friend request (often they already are in the game with another party by the time or not accepting my add because they already play)
8.) after 5-30 minutes depending on the luck i get enough friend requests , sometimes even more than is needed for the game , then i have to decide who to leave out which sucks for me as i hate doing that
9.) while playing with those random people i keep getting more firend requests for my old post from 30 minutes ago which i have to ignore , i hate doing that

I would like that, with forced matchmaking, with people who speak your language, so many spaniards in destiny atm

I'd advise you to join a group on the 100.io If you can plan your sessions it works very well. If you can't, using the group chat you'll very fast find people to join you. Or you can check which games are about to start and still need one player (or sign as reserve on them hoping for a no-show).

Well for a start you're doing it all wrong, why are you asking for friend requests? Just say 'send message on Xbox/PS for invite' takes about 5 minutes. Secondly never once since my first VoG back in the day have I seen anybody request grimoire on a post, weapons and light are fair enough as it's their team and they can ask those requirements if they like, there's plenty of others that don't to join if you don't meat the requirements. I've got close to 200 raid completions and never, ever seen anybody kicked before rewards, people read these horror stories on here and use them as their own excuse as to why they need matchmaking.
