More Content needs to be Matchmade

Bungie, You've lost a lot of your player-base over time, which is to be expected for some games, but not for a game of this scale. More people would stick around if they could play more of the content, but so much of your player-base is solo. You have an abysmal percentage of total players who ever tried, let alone beat a Raid 1 time. This is something that PSO2 solved 10 years ago. Just add in audio and visual queues in lieu of requiring mic commands and it doesn't have to be for the hardest level of content, but at least the mid range stuff where actually useful gear and items drop. Additionally add an active wait for raids/dungeons where you can still run around and do things.

  • While I get where you are coming from, I just don't see a true matchmaking system working out well for raids at all. The community has more than enough trouble completing far simpler tasks, such as contact events, and things like that. Trying to then get a bunch of people to do a raid, that don't even have mics, would very likely not go well at all. Now you personally may be perfectly fine with potentially failing again and again because of things like lack of mics, and such. But that is unlikely to be the case for at least a small very vocal group. Who would be incredibly likely to complain that the raids are far to hard, that random groups with no mics just can't do it, because the callouts are to complicated, or the mechanics require to much teamwork. And not saying that Bungie would definitely listen to those people, but there is a very real possibility, especially if they are loud enough. Which could then lead to the fun being greatly diminished for other people. Now at the same time, we do already have a few systems in place to help people out. There is of course LFG, but I understand people not being a huge fan of that system, none the less it does exist and can work. Second, and a much better system in my opinion, is clans. There are many clans out there for all kinds of people, including fairly large clans that don't tend to turn anyone away and are more than willing to schedule training raids, I know of at least two or three like that, which are massive, and have a whole request system. The third option is the guided games, it isn't great, there is a lot Bungie could do to improve it, but it is there, and can work. Personally I would much rather see Bungie make big improvements to the guided games system, rather than implement a normal match making system, but that is just me.
