In lieu of going on a long tangent on how I'm against it, let me instead, provide some evidence for my case. Optional MM will not work, at least the current type of MM wouldn't. In any game, random players will almost never beat a pre-formed team, due to the lack of coordination and communication that's prominent in random matchmade teams. Raids and POE take a large amount of teamwork and coordination. Often times, players need to work together in order to formulate a strategy to down a certain boss or beat a level. In random games where voice chat is very seldomly used and low levels are in great abundance, you'd most likely never beat 35 POE or even 33 Crota. Player skill level, teamwork and everything else needed to beat endgame content would be severely lacking across the board It's not just one noob we're talking about here, it's a full team of them being matchmade into the same game, all of whom will inevitably leave in anger or frustration. So even then, people say, "hey man, it's OPTIONAL!" Well let me ask you this: why would Bungie invest into MM that wouldn't work in the first place? You'd be very naive if you thought they would. Just try to understand my point of view.

Yeah they aren't gonna do it man. When they deleted threads they said so. Forget this game bro. They don't want to help so why play a game they straight up deny aid to and cut stuff for further dlc.

As I said in another post... I would like to see 3 options: 1. Private (join fireteam only by invitation. This would also allow solo attempts) 2. Friends (friends can join without invitation) 3. Open (automatically match-makes with guardians doing the same activity) For options 2 & 3, anyone looking at the status of the guardian should be shown "Match-making for (name of activity)" instead of "In Orbit" or "Playing Destiny". Players should be able to set the default option for match-making in the options/preferences GUI. But be able to change it when selecting an activity (pull-down like changing the level of a mission).
