[quote]I will not be able to raid without matchmaking[/quote] Could you explain this please? I'm guessing you have a console, a copy of the game, the internet, any relevant online subscriptions and access to these forums. Would I be correct? Why is it you are unable to achieve what so many of us here, reading this, have done and combine those things to get a pick up group going of people in the same boat? I didn't raid for weeks because I only played with two guys regularly and we were generally miserable bastards. As the weeks went by and the frustration grew I reached out to people on these very forums and they were very accomodating. Since that point my two friends have stopped playing but I still manage to run the Raid, the Nightfall and the Heroic Weekly on all three characters every week. All with just a little bit of effort and patience. I've met a fair few assholes along the way and some downright annoying idiots too but matchmaking is hardly immune from that. I've added friends, removed friends, muted people, blocked comms but in the end I've accomplished my goal. Matchmaking would make the process faster but wouldn't improve your chances of completion one iota. PvP and Strikes have AFKers and they have matchmaking. As it is now if somebody is AFK in a Raid without explanation they generally get booted and either a replacement is found or the team disintegrates. You'd need a vote to kick option for matchmaking which is easily exploited by griefers. I appreciate that matchmaking would make it easier for the casuals to Raid but all you need to get Raiding is already at your disposal. Go to the Recruitment forum and look at the highest rated threads. You should find one for your desired level and console inside 2 minutes and be in a lobby shortly afterwards. There really is nothing stopping you but you.
