The most common posts, and the most active threads, are requesting optional matchmaking for Trials of Osiris and Prison of Elders. Moreover, all of the independent reviews that I've read of the House of Wolves specifically, and the broader game in general, question your baffling decision not to include optional matchmaking throughout.
I have yet to see a cogent argument against [i]optional[/i] matchmaking, yet every day many people present well-articulated arguments for it. Optional matchmaking would enhance the experience of thousands of players [i]every day[/i], and would negatively affect none.
You say you listen to us, so let's see it.
Edit: See DeeJ's comment below.
Edit 2: A few folks have suggested what I've been thinking for a while now, that Bungie's refusal to add matchmaking to end-game content is nothing more than a scheme to [i]artificially pad playtime.[/i] This is a tactic used to disguise the lack of meaningful content. While I don't wear a tin foil hat, I have NO DOUBT that Bungie knows that with matchmaking, many more of us would finish end-game content, and recognize there isn't much there.
Edit, 22 June: By now, many of you have read the EuroGamer interview with The Taken King Director, Luke Smith. If you haven't, I suggest you do. I'm so disgusted with his glib attitude - which seems viral at Bungie HQ - that I'm nearly speechless. [i]Nearly.[/i]
Edit, 26 June: I still love playing multiplayer with my sons, but have zero interest otherwise. I have a bunch of unleveled gear that will rot, as far as I care.
Now, my interest has turned to trying to keep Bungivi$ion's money-mongering, player-gouging tactics from becoming the norm for game publishers.
The loudest noise I can make is that of my wallet closing.
Edit, July 24: Bungie's campaign of censorship and propaganda should disturb each and every one of us. These tactics have been used for centuries by governments and companies to sell "lies" to the masses, and to pit neighbors against each other.

4 RisposteI posted a large quality of life improvement post back right after launch with this in it and it got mixed feelings about matchmaking. It's nice to see how people have finally come to their senses. I knew that eventually it would become one of those things that everyone wanted in game.
-
1 RispondiI never found this apparently seeing as I never favorited it. Probably due to it being buried.
-
1 RispondiYou sir, are well educated and should be taken seriously by all others who also are. Bungie would be foolish to continue disreguard the community that makes this game thrive, they want this to be a 10 year journey? I give it 3 at this pace.

5 RisposteI need to add this to that list I put together. But yeah, wait for it... *Activision employees take a pause, a cold sweat beading off of the intern's brow as he slowly stands to look out the window. They wait and listen as the resounding noise echos through the halls, shattering the silence with a resounding crash as millions of wallets close shut...and then...silence...*

37 RisposteJust remember what ol' DeeJ does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, the pillars of Heaven shake and the community band together for matchmaking. Yeah, DeeJ just looks that big ol' community storm right square in the eye and he says, "Start a clan, f***er."
