I raid quite a bit but never had a regular 6 man group, always randoms from the forums or LFG. I looking forward to the horde mode more than I would a raid simply because its something new for Destiny. Hopefully its something I will enjoy playing several times a week rather than a raid which most play once a week then have to wait for the reset. I'm also not a fan of PVP, will play it every now and then but prefer PVE a lot more. But that said I can understand the disappointment of those that have 5 friends/regulars, hopefully bungie will quickly add a 6 player version as well for those people.
