    No Matchmaking in Raid because they want Streamers to have first crack at it

    They’re running a contest on Twitch for streamers to be the first to beat the raid. This is all planned out, you can tell by the SOTG today. This same thing happened with early release, normal users couldn’t connect but streamers had no issue. You mark my words, you’ll see matchmaking in the raid next week, after the 4 day streamer event is over.

    Totally agree but not because of the streamers. The reason will be the public outcry and dismay that MM is not available

    It's a hard thing to do anyway because of time zones. Some time zones have a better chance at it anyway. Then I seriously find it hard to believe that the raid is going to be difficult given the state of heroics right now. So for me it's going to be whoever gets into an instance first and has the highest dps is probably going to win. Either that or it will be difficult and then it will just get nerfed to hell after the race for first is over.

    Can you imagine how funny it would be if a random bunch of pugs got world first XD So I can see why they would want to protect that hahahaha

    It seems to be the norm these days, cater to the streamers and leave the everyday solo gamers to get pushed to the curb. Why on this earth they couldn't just add OPTIONAL MM'ing to the game I'll never know. Sure, you'd have people complaining, but they complain about everything now anyway so who'd give a flying F?!

    streamers are okay with this because they have enough fanbois to fill a 8man team.

    but they'll laugh less when the game is so unpopular that the views drop with it

    It'll be like Destiny's last raid where Bungie gave some "hints" to the most popular streamers to ensure they could at least get through it in a reasonable amount of time, cough, over 24 hours!!!!

    Remember I am this as well but you overstating your personal value to this game. Streamers are far more important to the health of a game than you or me. So yes, I would say from a business perspective cater to the streamers far more than the average player, they are who bring new blood in and more money to a franchise.
