I'm not going to join a clan. I'm not going to play this game much longer if I can't easily find groups, either. This stance completely asinine. It benefits no one. Most groups are random anyway. Just let me play without jumping through unnecessary hoops.

[quote]I'm not going to join a clan. I'm not going to play this game much longer if I can't easily find groups, either.[/quote] Sounds like you've made a choice then. Good. Own up to it. Here's why there isn't matchmaking for the harder endgame content. Did the level 32 PoEs yesterday with a clanmate and a random. We ran into trouble with Round 4 and the Arc Burn....and we wiped a couple of times. After the second wipe, the random simply quit. Hit my clan's message board....got a third clanmate to join us. We wiped a couple more times while we worked out a strategy to get passed that round....and then went on to complete it with all three of our characters. When you form your own group there is a level of investement and a willingness to endure difficulty in solving problems that isn't there when you are simply matchmade with people you don't know. So it is a set-up for FAILURE in the harder content, where strategies have to worked out on the fly, and repeated failures endured while a winning approach is sussed out.

Edited by ProstiTot Snail: 5/30/2015 5:05:53 PMCool story bro. I did PoE level 32 this week too. It took me between 30 - 40 minutes to find a group. No exaggeration. I used both destinylfg and the recruitment forums. I don't know if it's the time of day I'm available to play (i work swing shift) or my system (360) but it always takes forever to find groups. When I finally did find a group, it was with 2 completely random people, one of whom had no mic. We finished PoE with a couple of wipes on both the arc burn and the boss levels, but it was totally doable. No clan needed. We sussed out our strategies just fine. I tried to find a group for PoE 34 the next day and gave up after about 20 minutes. I'm not about to spend that much time spamming strangers just to play this game. I just don't have enough spare time these days. I was also annoyed with all the elitist posts on destinylfg demanding all lvl 34's with max gallys and IBs and tons of leet skillz. I like Destiny a lot but I can't see putting up with not being able to find groups for much longer.
