I agree - for such a repetitive grinding game matchmaking makes a lot of sense. The game's only novelty seems to be Xur's alternating locations (and having to search for him is just silly). What no longer makes sense is shelling out $$$ for Bungie ever again. I have almost stopped playing as the House of Wolves DLC ruined the existing social structure and made the raids pointless. Bungie did a good job of shooting themselves in the foot.
