Wow bungie your response was amazingly short sighted and condescending, the community has raged for weeks over SBMM and essentially your response is 'we think things are fine the way they are, if you wanna play casually play private matches' Any other game, any other company would panic with so much of their community raging/protesting against aspects of their game and would immediately try to change or compromise on the subject the community wants changed but all you've done is pretty much give us the middle finger as a response. Do you not realize the frustration building within the community, do you not realize the amount of people that will stop playing destiny altogether if you don't implement the changes the community wants? You've said connection, then time spent in orbit, then skill (in that order) are your matchmaking priorities...this is bullshit, consistently we come across red bars, consistently we're matched against people half way round the world, consistently are we waiting in orbit for 5+ mins and consistently we come across unfairly split teams.....yet you ignore the communities feedback and essentially respond with 'it's fine, we're not changing anything'...oh and as for trials matching against good connections and similar score cards...again bullshit, multiple times each weekend i'm matched against people on 5, 8 or sometimes even 15+ win streaks on their card when i'm on a completely fresh card (i'm sure i'm not the only one this happens to) Bungie listen to your games community before it's too bloody late, all your doing at the moment is being condescending and pissing a lot more people off.
