I just find it hard to believe that a company like Bungie would have so much failure when it came to the simple foundation design of this game. The way I see the current server structure is as follows: Each server instance seems to only have a total of 16 max players. This includes patrols & tower. However, the server instance also allows other players that have loaded in for strikes as well. Now to compare, let's talk about a game like Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn. This game allows thousands of players to swap in and out of parties at will, has a duty finder for team based events, in game text chat, 16 player raids, etc...ALL on the PS4, PS3, PC while also having an in game macro creator and 16 language translator. Come on Bungie...please learn from the leaders in the field before you try and tackle a game like this. I love this game but the oversights are astounding...
