Matchmaking options for endgame content does the following: 1. Allows the average player access to a reason to grind God rolls. 2. Trains the new raiders, without flooding LFG with carry requests and teaching runs. (If you're feeling generous, matchmake and show those blueberries what guardians are made of!) 3. Drives bungie to make harder content as the average player begins to successfully complete match made runs. 4. Further elevates streamers who are very skilled, by giving a baseline to compare with. Big fish in a small pond, becomes big fish in a big pond. 5. Failed runs will give player the incentive to learn the mechanics, >>because it will be the difference between getting the seasonal exotic or going without.<< 6. Has zero affect on the successful LFG groups, which will now primarily consist of players who have learned what to do, and are seeking others like them. In summary, everyone, from Bungie, to streamers, to Joe Guardian, benefits in some way from matchmaking options. While failures would drive the playerbase first to complain, Bungie needs to acknowledge this beforehand and preemptively state that the content is achievable through education and perserverence. Dont cave to the whining, just let them "grow up" and "Git gud". Because they will get better until they're begging for more challenges. Then you have the Halo-esque back and forth we used to have. Here's an option, before matchmaking into your first endgame content, be it a raid, or heroic menagerie, you have to watch an unskippable cutscene that shows a group of guardians completing the various objectives, teaching you what to do. If you're going to rely on a 3rd party for matchmaking, why not either move it in game and pay the man, or link the 3rd party in the game, tell people LFG is out there somehow, since you cant explain the mechanics using clever cutscenes like other games have mastered and use efficiently, at least direct people to the place that does it for you free of charge. I bet the average non forum using player has no idea what lfg or the companion app is. Alot of people who know what it is dont even use it because they dont realize what it does...seriously. Bungie makes no effort to direct players to these 3rd party learning and matchmaking spots, then it needs to move it in game. Either way, I think Destiny is on the verge of either greatness or obscurity...and this is just one of the many stones we need to tip it on the right side of things. Edit: People are fine with 3rd party LFG but not in game LFG, how blitheringly arbitrary. How is moving something from a third party app into the actual game blowing peoples minds. Like "See this can of coke? I want it in a cup" -"dear God how could even you think of that?! It will taste like coke and have carbonated water in it if you put it in a cup! You wont like it! I motion to disable the use of cups for the drinking of coke."
