It's now mandatory or there are simply zero matches. 1/8 perpetually waiting for a SINGLE OTHER Guardian in Gambit - I've never once seen this before. "Attention. We were unable to find a match in time." so we returned you to orbit. This is now true for every matchmaking activities in the game not only Gambit, Crucible, Strikes, Nightfalls, Dares of Eternity, Battlegrounds, you name it. Again it was an illusion of choice, opt in, if you like, but now no one can ever effectively opt out. Not only are we lumbered with every platform but for me this means having to change system settings there and back again every single time just to play Destiny 2. That will effectively be a battle between games that are far better without it to the point of it being near mandatory and easily have the population to support it, such as Halo. That's an extra burden to play Destiny. It's so extreme that Destiny 2 product descriptions really should now state "Crossplay is required for all matchmaking activities."
