I bought a ps4 with Destiny the taken king legendary edition a couple of weeks ago and i love it, but i had no idea that raids had no matchmaking and now that im level 40 im stuck with nothing to do but heroic strikes since I´m from chile and all chilean clans for destiny that i find are pretty much death, even the Ps4 latinamerican community for destiny has only 10 or less people playing everyday, out of 600+ members. Hell i spend most of my time sending private messages through psn to random people at the tower (only two of my psn friends own destiny and they quit recently) to help me with Strikes (i tried asking for raids but they always anwser they dont have time) than actually playing the game, since new players are nowhere to be found and if i try matchmaking for anything but heroic strikes playlist, i always end up solo.
Now i know the reasons not to add matchmaking for raids, i saw the interview with gameinformer about "matchmaking" not being able to create those kinds of "emotions" from playing with a pre-made group and that was the real challenge, but lets face it......that reason, if true and not just a PR awnser....just stupid. I know you (bungie) dont think destiny is an MMO, but lets face it, it is and matchmaking for raids is a feature that pretty much all of them have now, because that way they keep the player base up, you cant restrict the main end-game feature of your game, especially when your players base seems to be quite low already.
If it worked for WoW it will work for you
