DeeJ all jokes aside, I respect the fact that you take the time to reply to posts such as the one presented here, but this is a serious matter that I hope you and the Bungie staff are [b][u]genuinely[/u][/b] looking into. Part of the reason why Destiny has yet to reach its fullest potential is simply due to the fact that much of the more important PvE related activities lack a viable, and more reliable, way of being completed in a decent timeframe without friends. Optional Matchmaking would be a realistic long term solution that would enable those who lack a clan membership, and those who are already apart of a clan, to tackle PvE content reliably without any restrictions whatsoever. Destinylfg.net is a nice alternative but it uses aren't really practical if you're strapped for time as the OP said, and although the description of a fire team on destinylfg.net may fit your specific preferences and you may meet the qualifications, there is no guarantee that the fire team you join will be successful. Thus often times you're back at square one just searching for yet another fire team on destinylfg.net for potentially another 30+ minutes, with no particular guarantee whatsoever that the next fire team you join will be a successful one. Please pass the word along to bungie and make the staff there understand that optional matchmaking can longer be pushed to the back burner, especially with the new upcoming raid fast approaching. Honestly everyone deserves the right to tackle all the content destiny has to offer regardless of your association, if any, with friends or clanmates.
