I understand why matchmaking should be removed. You need to have a group with voice chat because a hard raid will be ruined by a mute 'Leroy Jenkins'.
If you let people select the raid and hit launch, then players will do this. They won't stop to read the text that says, "This is a 3 hour mission and you'll want to have voice chat on".
BUT, what's bad is that there is currently no 'easy' option for forming a group.
You either need a huge friends list, or need to randomly try to invite people to your fireteam in the tower or whatever (the latter is not a realistic option since the default is to only allow fireteam requests from friends).
IMO the game needs is some easy method of setting up a fireteam to enjoy the raid.
Some sort of LFG system is needed, that allows you to grab someone and know that they have a mic and understand what's necessary for the raid.
Honestly, I can see them patching matchmaking back in if people demand it. They'll have their cake and eat it because Bungie can say, "We'll allow matchmaking because of player demand, but don't jump in and then start complaining that your un-coordinated group found it too hard".
My biggest concern with the game is that it'll be too time-consuming to find a group. I want to jump on for an hour or two and spend it playing with DestinyGAF. I don't want to spend half my time messing around on a phone/tablet/laptop, posting on the DGAF community/bungienet thread and waiting for responses/friends requests/invites.
