Does this even matter now, bungie has given everyone a way to Max light without having to do raids or trials, if you can't raid or do trials you can play crucible or strikes for exotic engrams with three of coins to raise your light, you can rank up your factions or you can play iron banner. I'd recommend to just put yourself out there and look on Lfg sites or the destiny app to find a group and you'll probably make new friends along the way. If that's not something you want to do bungie has made it possible for every Guardian to achieve Max light through a variety of different ways.

seriously no. remember in year one everyone wanted the abillity to talk in pvp and pve through the fireteam because nobody was joining parties? yeah see how well that worked? nobody uses it, nobody talks in pvp or pve if you arn't in a raid or with friends.. think about it.. you get some ass hat at 375 who can't hold his gun straight and wears graviton forfeit on his arc blade hunter joining your fireteam for the raid.. with no ability to kick him out.. sound slike alot of fun doesn't it.. or how about the fact that with all the check points, which checkpoint are you going to start at? this is a horrible idea that will fail and isn't worth the time or effort in making happen.

wont happen. people like their elitist status and bitching about how people dont know how to do the raids and bitching how nobody wants to play trials and raids^^ but to be fair, its not only the community. its bungie. they said countless times they dont have interesst in giving "endgame content" optional matchmaking. so either waste your time in lfg and waste even more time to get no / crap rewards or dont do it at all.

The [b]ONLY[/b] people who say no to an OPTIONAL built in matchmaking for all events are BUNGiE diehards and fanboys. That's it. Deny it all you want. It's the simple truth. Otherwise, what difference would it make to people who didn't want to use it? Just don't use it. Problem solved. Might even get life back into the game with some people. Not having to use 3rd party sites and apps to play certain things in the game. Never made sense to me how people could be so opposed and angered at the thought of adding an OPTIONAL in game LFG. I doubt this it will ever happen, but I agree it would be a great addition.

[quote]So we get penalised because I didn't want to add random people to my Friend list? Or once I relented, found its a lot of bloody effort, can't even join a clan! Can't do raids, so some of the best gear/content is out of reach. At least make it possible to post in game request at the tower, not some 3rd party app.[/quote] Yes you do. Suck it up and deal with it like the rest of us. That's basically how you make friends irl you know. I suppose you don't have a lot of experience with that if you're going to put that asinine comment in your post. Some of the people in the lfg community from my experience are really not that bad as long as you don't suck and or are arrogant. Give them a chance Adding matchmaking because you're too scared to add people is just stupid. Get over yourself. I hate to seem really mean but most of the player base can deal with it. It's quite frankly fine Third party app, you could just use the recruitment section on here. It really isn't that bad. This is a social game, it's labelled as such. Yes you are going to have the short end of the stick if you're a solo player. Adding an in game recruitment section would be better than adding matchmaking for everything. Matchmaking would honestly be terrible because A. Afkers B. Trolls C. Noobs (People that don't want to use the correct load outs ex Someone using a dam sidearm at Vosik which is something I have seen) D. Idiots E. People who just ditch F. People with garbage connection G. People not joining the game chat/ people who speak a different language than you. Just imagine being match made with 5 other people and they don't speak the same language as some of the others. Just imagining this makes me die of laughter honestly. Also considering the way the crucible and strikes are with no one joining the team voice channel I can assure you a lot of people won't use it there either. Not as bad as the strikes/ crucible since not everyone's stupid but there will be a decent amount who won't. H. People with impediments. I know that this might come off as well rude or just unsavoury but there are people who are deaf, and or not mentally efficient enough. This will be more of a rare case but it will happen and we all know you're going to feel bad having to kick/ditch that one guy who fits this profile. J. People who are under light trying to join up. Sure the raid suggests 380 for a raid but you can join and be as low as I think 360. Besides, who wants to do the raid raid these days with a 380 anyway. I could tell you right now most people wouldn't. 385-390 sure but 380??? Hell no, I'm not sherpaing at the moment honey. I'm gonna have to put you on pause. Heroic strikes are already a pain with these factors. Imagine a raid? Save people the trouble. I can almost guarantee that all of you people pushing for optional matchmaking will not enjoy it after hmm maybe the third time you try to use it for a raid/trials. Matchmaking for night falls however would work considering they're extremely easy now. Anyway, quite frankly this game has hardly anyone working on it currently. Almost all of bungie is focused on destiny two. The few people that are still working on this game have bigger concerns then this (weapon balancing, etc). Adding things to this level would just be moot. Bungie has even said they have a hard time upgrading this game and optional math making isn't the flick of a switch most of you people seem to think. Optional match making isn't apart of this game. They would actually have to not just use a reskin and add something new which bungie has proven to be difficult for them lmfao.

You can't do the raids because you don't want to find a team. That's on you.

LFG. Listen, here's everything that can and will go wrong if matchmaking is added to raids. 50% of the time, no-one will know how to do the raid. This will lead to frustrating playsessions, and people being put it in mid-progress raids. Leavers. You know those people who leave when youy team is behind by 1000 points? Imagine them leaving whenever soemone dies. Also, it's a 30 second respawn timer on Normal Mode. That means that that is 30 seconds that someone can ragequit. And in hard Mode, THERE WILL BE NO RESPAWN! Lack of Communication. First, you have to get 6 people to all know how to play. Then, you have to get them to use mics. If they don't want to use a mic, your screwed. If they are an annoying 7 year old who sounds like he's so congested that his snot could power a hydroelectric plant, then have fun listening to that bastard for the next 3-24 hours, because guess what, no-one will know what to do. AND THIS IS ALL UNDER THE ASSUMPTION THAT EVERYONE HAS A STABLE CONNECTION, AND SPEAKS ENGLISH!
