Indeed and bump. Although I've said it before... (sigh...here we go) Optional match making will ultimately cost them more money. By "blocking" us from endgame content, they artificially "extend" the little content there is and therefore they save themselves from making more content that we would undoubtedly be screaming for shortly after optional matchmaking would be implemented. Don't get me wrong I'm am totally FOR optional matchmaking...I just don't see bungie shooting themselves in the foot...wait.........they've already done that!
