Yes I would love the opportunity to play with the worst players out there, since the alternative is not playing at all. Or, Bungie should dump the high end rewards so that casual players don't feel like we're missing out by not getting to play certain (more rewarding) parts of the game. Unless you're jobless and have jobless friends, then matchmaking is the only solution if you're looking to play for an hour. And I realize that there is little love for casual gamers in forums - but Bungie employees would be out looking for jobs if it wasn't for the 84% of their customers who are casual / binge players. So you can go on playing with you're friends, but I'm asking Bungie to at least let me play without needing to post a Craigslist ad for some an hours worth of 'no strings attached' fun...
