I simply don't understand the relentless shitstorm that flares up whenever any news on Destiny comes out.
This is a mode specifically made for pre-made groups. Pre-made.
Yes they could have a better invite or LFG system and i'm sure they are working on that, but for now, this content will require 5 like-minded mic'd individuals. Simple as that.
They probably playtested the hell out of this and saw that more casual players ended up pulling their hair out in frustration when getting matched in random groups. So until Bungie has a solution for those players, they decide not to add a matchmaking hopper.
That's it. No-one who is familiar with the actual concept of raids is even remotely surprised by this. Yet here we have tons of people who feel that they are arbitrarily getting restricted from a certain part of the game. Which simply is not true, if you expected randoms to pull you through, chances are that you were never going to see it anyway. It requires communication.
Luckily we have this beautiful GAF clan with hundreds and hundreds of gamers for all of the platforms. Getting a raid together will be a matter of posting a PSN ID/Gamertag.
Thanks. Now I can leave this trainwreck of a thread in peace. This sums it up.
