He's right, they are fake friends. I have had to clear my friends list put numerous times from using lfg. I had about 25 good friends who played destiny and none of them play anymore. With the news of Taken King and Bungie taking a shit on our time we put in year one none of them are coming back. Plus there is an onslaught of new games that are multiplayer and coop focused coming out, which pulls people away. I feel like they will have to add match making to keep the player base intact. I have always been confused why the daily story based missions aren't match made. It seems like they don't have a way to code for scaling of difficult and optional matchmaking. I think it can't be done at this point. We will have to wait for Destiny 2.
