It literally takes a few minutes to either join a fireteam or create your own on lfg.

Which pinnacle weapon forces you to play in a fireteam? Other than raid exotics, most other exotics are also easy to get for solo players.

Oh, gosh. What are you even talking about? [i]Whether we wanted it or not[/i] (see what I did there), Destiny is primarily an online multiplayer game, with most activities built to accomodate a fireteam. C'mon, get a grip.

If you have a PS4, set your date and time back a few months and you can load solo into all aspects of the game haha :) true seclusion. I did it once. Was quite peaceful

Bungie will you please do away with your "fake, made up community" of basement streamers? We don't like them.

I see your point but I believe the raid and heroic nightfalls and menagerie are the only non-match-made activities currently. All the pinnacle weapons (gambit, crucible, Vanguard) can all be obtained solo and it’s only really the raid exclusive gear that cannot. I think it’s ok to have the raid like this and that Bungie have made an effort to include players who usually play solo. The menagerie is a great example of this and the new Vex Offensive activity appears to be match-made too. Along with the changes to the Comp playlist, I believe Bungie is doing a good job to include all types of players and I hope you don’t continue to feel excluded.

Bungie ain't excluding you from activities. You are choosing to exclude yourself

There are two different types of solo players. The smart and content ones, and the stupid but self-entitled ones. The smart and content solo player understands that they are buying a game that is primarily about group based activities. They understand that if they only play solo that they won’t be able to do certain activities, but that’s okay for them because they knew what they were getting into when they bought destiny. Of course if they want to do those group activities they understand that they could always just join a group, no big deal. The stupid and self-entitled solo player doesn’t understand that destiny is primarily about group based activities. They fail to understand that they won’t be able to do certain activities if they only play solo, and complain to bungie to focus more on they want instead of what bungie wants. They saw that destiny was about but bought it anyway. Instead of comprehending that they won’t get to do everything or get everything and move on to a different game that better suits their interest, they instead complain to bungie and pretend that they are somehow better than everybody else and deserve the game to be made to fit their needs. Like the smart solo players they know that they could always just join a group, however these solo players are far too stubborn to join a group, and like to make a big deal about it and how they shouldn’t have to join a group. So, which kind of solo player are you?

I’m a solo player too. You’re not excluded from anything, you just choose not to put in the extra effort to either create your own lfg, or even create your own clan. I didn’t raid in D2 until about three months ago when I found some people in the tower who weren’t in a clan and I decided to create my own and invite them. Now, we raid every week. Even though I do prefer to game alone some times. There’s just certain things that should never have matchmaking. Put in the effort, you’re only excluding yourself

In my opinion, if a player cannot solo an activity to help/carry those who can't or won't do that activity, then the fault belongs to the activity itself, and not the player who fails that activity. Oh, and for those hardcore raiders who would just say that "it is a ME problem": YOU are the problem. I have never been able to do a single raid activity in my life as a Destiny 2 player. And i have done pretty much every single other activity in the game at least once, through the carries and helps of players who are better than me. Exclusivity is not always the best concept in the world; because if you choose not to do an activity just because you are unable to do it for whatever reason, you would feel like you have wasted your money on an unfinished product, with an incomplete experience.

i feel the same way, but if i feel like I'm missing out on a lot i'll try my damned'st to get a fireteam together [spoiler]haven't bothered doing that since the raids in d1, shit was unbearable. i don't know how you can wipe and wipe and wipe and wipe and wipe and wipe and wipe and wipe and wipe and wipe and wipe and wipe and beat the encounter so you can go back to wiping and wiping and wiping and wiping and wiping and wiping and by now you've all figured out the mechanics of stage 1 of this encounter so you can get a little further when you wipe and wipe and wipe and wipe and wipe and wipe[/spoiler]

I certainly think some activities like nightfall and heroic menagerie could and should be opened up by including matchmaking. I believe it's remnants of Activision influence that it is not. It's basically a multilevel marketing approach to encourage you to recommend the game to your friends so you have someone to play those more rewarding modes with. I do hope they move away from this marketing technique. Menagerie I think is a good example of how it could work. Let people learn in an easier more forgiving matchmade mode, then introduce progressively harder modes building on what the player has familiarized themselves with in the previous modes. The same could be applied to raids. Then I think testing to see if matchmaking would work in the higher teir activities. I think Menagerie suggests it can as usually I run it and no one communicates. Granted is simpler than a raid but never the less it seems they have been trialing ways to introduce harder content to more players. Maybe leave raids without matchmaking but I do think other activities matchmaking would be warranted. Even when present there still nothing to stop people forming their own groups to run the activity. I do believe the only reason to keep these other high reward activities without matchmaking is for the multilevel marketing aspect of it.

You’re not being excluded. You’re shutting [b]yourself[/b] out! Destiny has never been a solo majority game. Stop acting like you’ve been ripped off. You should have done the research before buying a game that encourages [b]Team[/b]play. They even give you tools on this very site to get things done. You [b]choose[/b] not to take part in them. Maybe you should invest more in a solo game. Stop trying to change a franchise because [b]you[/b] didn’t do your research. Hell you bought D2 Knowing what D1 was like. Hilarious!!! This is a [b]You[/b] problem!!!!! So sick of posts like these. They act like they’re being robbed when they’re just not willing to put forth the same effort as those who find/ create FT’s. I so want destiny to Give you solo simpletons one raid with MM so you can waste countless hours just trying to get ONE completion because of ANY number of issues that it could entail. I will be laughing at you until they remove it.
