As mentioned, I fully support raid matchmaking and I would personally use it. Optional matchmaking would be ideal. My opinion is that any raid experience is good experience, even if you aren't going to make it to the end. I actually wanted to raid at level 26 but no one would take me until I reached 27 because the raid escalates to level 28 by the end. Matchmaking would have solved this allowing me to actually get to the templar battles and maybe past.
