Personally, I don't agree with any arguments against having matchmaking in the game. I mean, really. It makes zero difference to those of who you ALREADY have to put a team together. Literally nothing changes for you. You still group up with your friends or clan members and set out to conquer your raid, etc. so why would you ever argue in preventing others from being able to play the game, too? Some people (not me, so save your childish arguments...you know who you are) are unable to find a team to play with; consider new players to the game. Additionally, consider the value of immediately diving right into the action via an in-game mechanic rather than having to use some 3rd party app (LFG, Discord, etc.) to build a fireteam. Time is so valuable. People simply want to play. The only argument I see possibly making sense is if Bungie is restricting matchmaking for the health of the community. By this I mean: Destiny is a game that, by design, promotes playing with friends, clan members, and fellow guardians more than it promotes playing solo. But the very fact that you can still enjoy playing the game solo kind of defeats this argument. Ultimately, I think “optional matchmaking” is a beneficial in-game mechanic that should be added for all activities. Feel free to share your thoughts, while being respectful.
