[quote]People in favor of raid matchmaking are giving randoms the benefit of the doubt. This is your ignorance or your stupidity coming into play. You're trusting someone to have your back that very likely doesn't give a shit about you. Some ADD 11 year old that will rage quit at the first sign of adversity. He will be rewarded by sliding into another matchmaking raid in no time flat to get carried by someone else. Where you will be down a man or more trying to soldier on through hours of content at a massive disadvantage. Think through your position a little more. Better yet make some friends or join a clan. Then you'll have one less thing to whine about. Then you can go back to complaining about the lack of custom matches or a nerf/buff to ruin the balance of the game.[/quote] [b]Case in point:[/b] Imagine the OP is a random player that you were just paired up with in matchmaking, who is now free to belittle you in voice chat, as a member of your raid team. Hopefully you won't have any opinions over the next several hours about how to approach the challenges of the raid content (or anything else that he disagrees with); no doubt you'd be told immediately that you're ignorant, stupid, and a whiner, at which point you'll probably kick him from the team, or drop out yourself. Three hours or more of this sort of pointless abuse sounds like a great way to spend your a Saturday night, no? This is also the primary argument against proximity chat: random people are randomly assholes simply because they think their opinions are more important than yours, and this sort of self-absorbed arrogance is an epidemic in the gaming community. #Destiny means #Randoms.
