Lmao.... Good luck with that. I made this post a long time ago. Long and extensive but in got nothing but hate. Nobody can give reasons for why matchmaking would affect them if they didn't want to use it. It's simple it is elitism. Say what you want but LFG is literally matchmaking but with me doing all the work and wasting my time in the process. If I have to constantly take time to manually find RANDOM ppl to join my group then what is the difference with having the game do it for me. I was so turned off from raiding cuz I constantly had to find more ppl cuz ppl get in and realize it's hard or can't do it and then leave it join and realize ppl new and leave. So now I'm at the last boss and every body giving up cuz after 2 runs of somebody dying they already tired and I'm stuck in a loop of find players that actually want to complete it. Say whatever you all want but matchmaking is the single biggest gatekeep in this game. PERIOD! If I'm going to spend 30 mins to an hour in LFG them why bother. Also ppl like to act like Destiny is some special game unlike other and matchmaking just won't work. Last time I checked things like the Duty Finder in FF14 works great. So try and tell me that Destinys raiding experience is somehow above FF14 which has an in game LFG!
