Because spending their time bringing in matchmaking to raids when they know, as does everyone who has been raiding, that it simply won’t work doesn’t make sense. I used to agree with you. I made the same arguments and wanted matchmaking. Then I did some raids and quickly understood why it just wouldn’t work. They’re too complicated and require too much communication and teamwork. People would quit as soon as it became obvious it wasn’t going to be possible to finish and a match made team would never get past the first encounter. Just go on LFG. I -blam!-ing hate it, it’s full of toxic people, but there are some helpful people. If you don’t like LFG then I promise matchmaking will be 100 times worse than that. I 100% get your point of view. I understand it and sympathize with you, but what you want just won’t work. Go on LFG and complete a couple of raids and you’ll understand why.

Ok, fair enough, I can relate with your balanced point of view regarding raids. But as you've probably noticed I was referring to all endgame activities. Why not having matchmaking to legend, master and grandmaster activities? They're not near as demanding in mechanics and/or communication as raids are, but nevertheless they have no matchmaking and too many people around here run with pitchforks in hand against those who ask for it.

I wouldn’t object to it in grandmaster nightfalls. I wouldn’t for the proving ground but my buddy and I were farming the arms dealer grandmaster with just the two of us. I would have been fine having a rando match made with us for that since we didn’t need a 3rd anyway. And I want to be clear that I’m not AGAINST matchmaking for raids in the sense that I don’t want it, it’s that I just don’t think it could work. I do, however, think that the guided games was a good idea and is the only possible way I could see a form of matchmaking working. I thought it was a great idea and maybe could be tweaked to actually work.

I said I wouldn’t have a problem with matchmaking in a grandmaster but as soon as I hit reply I realized I actually would. Grandmaster nightfalls are difficult in the sense that it is very easy to die. It only takes a couple of shots to kill you even at full health and you have a limited number of revives. Even though the two of us were farming the arms dealer grandmaster without a 3rd if we’d been matchmade with someone the overwhelming likelihood is that they would get killed and if we didn’t think they were good enough we would refuse to revive them so they couldn’t waste our limited lives. They would probably spend the entire match dead waiting on us to complete it. It wouldn’t be because were assholes, but if you only have a few revives we just wouldn’t be willing to let a blueberry waste them.
