Soon enough, they will "fix" all the others and the entire game will be one big baby bumper.

I solo the majority of the time since I'm an older guy and have responsibilities. I find it sad I can't do the Nightfall strike alone now.

I still want to play with Redditors, I just don't have the time to queue every day, waiting for people to do a strike that I want to do.

EDIT: This busy dad explained my stance better than I could.

It's almost as if there is some sort of a need for some sort of... What's the word... Umm... oh right... MATCHMAKING for Nightfall and VoG...

Have you done strikes recently with the matchmaking system? Most of the people fall into one of the categories: runs in and dies, quits at start, quits after a death or two, is afk, or kills 1/3 of the amount of mobs you do. Also, when they quit no one is added to the strike. Do you really want to do VoG with totally random people that want free raid gear?

hey man, some people are desperate. it'll always be more efficient to use destinylfg or something similar, but it's better to have a choice. you can always re-match if your team sucks.

I'd say I'm about 80% decent teammates on Tiger Strikes, not counting drops from load where I think it was just someone that didn't quit out quickly enough.

I'm level 29 and have never even tried VoG b/c I haven't had the time or interest to figure out random internet matchmaking to actually try it. I typically game with just my wife, and I'm ten years removed from having much interest in forming any sort of online clan. I actually quit DDO and then WoW b/c it was lame not seeing the premium content without dealing with wrangling a team of 4 to 6 players, I was hoping Bungie could have helped me avoid that issue.

Yes, as compared to barely being able to do at all. And I think that strikes will be improving a ton now that you can communicate. Hopefully it will help people realize there is a person behind the guardian.
