    No matchmaking for raid just encourages discriminatory behavior

    First they demand your gear is optimized to their standards.

    Second they start demanding what skills you can and cannot use.

    Third they check to see if your up to meta standards.

    ...Or they kick you.

    They may even decide to kick you near the end if your not performing as expected.

    Welcome to the world of meta where everyone is expected to perform at the same level and use the same boring builds.

    Sounds like you are talking about matchmaking. If my clan did that, I would not be in that clan. I can totally see that from a MM session.

    yep, if your stats suck you are going to kicked regardless. I personally think they should of added it though, the good players would use alternate methods and the ones wanting to give it a try would at least be able to do so without having to pull up their laptop or phone just to play a game on their console. PC players have it all right there so its not really as inconvenient but i quit playing the Destiny raids as i got tired of searching forums for groups, even though it was still pretty easy to do so but you also evenutally end up with 300 people in your friends list that youll never talk to again.

    So, you can gather group by your requirements, don't you?

    Sadly that's the goal. They've included metrics on a post match screen and will add a LFG area (i.e. look at my fomo microtransaction swag area). The decision to remove mm is purely for pruning and retention sake. Social walls create niche communities, like Activision's Destiny, their CEO said they could fail sales expectations (which The Division 2 has) and still be okay, because their micro economy was so strong. When a game is dwindling (like ours), you prune the community by leaning on the top part of the carry/skill ratio (i.e. where the whales live).

    Yep, things like this encourage bullying and I got a warning for saying so, not very politely, but seems bullying is ok, but speaking out against bullying is not.

    Matchmaking Pros & Cons

    ...Oh wait their are no Cons never mind.

    Matchmaking affects nothing, if the raid requires speech it’s going to be all that more challenging.

    The only people that have a problem with matchmaking are the ones that say the following:

    I don’t want to carry you because I’m using a boring meta build and you are not.

    I don’t want to waste my time and not get the loot I was promised if we failed.

    I just want to finish this in under an hour cause my time is so valuable.

    ...got anymore please share.

    Lack of foreseeing doesn't remove cons that you can't see.

    Thats the whole point of raiding!!! not a free for all and not a I do what I want type area. Its a raid..tanks healers dps. People are set to do dedicated builds for aspects of the raid.
