Alright. So why can't raids have both? If you want to get a team of friends together to do raids than you can. If you want to just play alone with 5 others you can. What's the big deal? Why is that such a big problem?
I don't have any friends that will be playing Destiny (don't have much friends at all due to social anxiety) I'm not good with socializing or making new friends, so that means I won't be able to do raids at all? That's ridiculous.
For me and many others with this problem doing this would be more stressful than it would be fun. I don't care if I don't have as great of a time, it takes more times to beat it than if I had 5 friends who made strategies and other nonsense together, or if it dilutes the experience. It should be an option. Just because I don't want to go out and find people to do this with, doesn't mean I shouldn't be able to do it at all!

It is MMO like in the raids and communication is key... Knowing who you will be playing with, their play style and such will also be key. Many people playing this game will have no raid experience so they just don't understand this concept...
