I understand your point of view, and i partially agree. I played this game by myself for months, without being able to raid or to have access to weekly heroic and other things. I had very short sessions of playtime and therefore, i saw no point in doing it. So I agree with you...activities need matchmaking. I think however that SOME activities need matchmaking, while others need communication and should be left a group activity. I really think that for example Nightfall might be a matchamaking activity. We are talking about strikes that we have done hundreds of times...everybody knows how to do them. POE 32 is another option...it is really on "Nightfall" difficulty level. PoE 34, 35 and Raids is a different story. It can be done with randoms, but you need to speak to each other...Crota can be impossible with no comunication, and we are talking about a raid that has been done solo. I cannot even imagine a Vault of glass without comunication. And let me tell you, i helped some people do that raid for the first time. One time all the other 5 in the team were first timers. But all of them had mics and we manage to do it with only two wipes! (still one of my biggest Destiny moments).
