If Bungie put in Optional MM they could also put in filters that can help fit you into a group that has the best chance of being a match for you. They could put in a MM preference page that would allow you to select Mic's Only, or perhaps Warlocks only, or lowest/highest level to play with. They could possibly even match you with players that have certain weapons. In fact they could even check all of these things far faster than an LFG site and if you want statistical based MM, nobody has more statistics about player capabilities than Bungie does for it's Destiny players (and they are more accurate than any player entered statistics).
The best part is that it could be optional. So you could still bring in your own team if you wanted to use an external LFG.

[quote]If Bungie put in Optional MM they could also put in filters that can help fit you into a group that has the best chance of being a match for you.[/quote] You don't know how the internet works over Xbox. Those parameters you specify? Saying that matchmaking will solve that? We had that solution once and Bungie implemented it. Halo 3 and Halo: Reach had that. What did you see? Reviews, complaints, and negative commentary which showed people still found bad matchings all the time. So no. I want a SOLUTION to make it work. Not just specifying parameters. That means going back to the drawing board and figuring out what else CAN be done. [quote]The best part is that it could be optional.

I work with IT networking elements all the time. Keep adding more and more parameters only adds to the stress on the system. What is the point of having all you labeled if you are twice as likely to be booted with an error code?

Comparing another game to this, very intelligent indeed!
