It's really annoying to have to wait for people to get on to form a group for Raids, Nightfalls and Heroic strikes, especially since we can't go to a public area like the Tower and recruit due to the voice chat restrictions imposed in the game. Not to mention it's hard to find people of the right level as well. Matchmaking would make this so much easier and make getting gear and leveling it less of a hassle.
The Matchmaking could look for players of similar level to match you with to make sure you're not going in with anyone too low to survive, as well as balance the group by diversifying the classes, bringing in 2 of each class for raids (2 titan, 2 warlock, 2 hunter) and one of each for the Nightfall and Heroic strikes.
While on the topic of Strikes, it would also behoove the player base if we could finally be able to voice chat with our random fire team members instead of having to form parties through the dashboard (X360 and XB1 versions). This should also be allowed in the Tower as well so those who are looking to form specific groups of people for Raids can do so much easier by simply talking to those around them. Being able to openly communicate with others is a staple of MMOs. Not allowing us to do is counter intuitive towards the game play in Destiny.
Also, we should be able to choose the difficulty of the Raids between normal and hard. The same goes for regular strikes as well. We should be able to play strikes up to level 30 as well as difficulty modifiers for players to challenge themselves. The higher the level and difficulty modifiers, the greater the rewards.
With the addition of PoE, matchmaking should be added for all modes of that activity as well, not just level 28.

there should be a matchmaking system that you can opt out of if you so choice. but for those "normal people" that don't spend hours playing video games but instead only have a few hours after work they don't want to waste there time on some website trolling for a raid group to then find a group 3 hours later and not be able to run the raid because they have to go to work the next day. just put in match making already. the reason for not having match making is a joke because there reason is that the raid and nightfall stikes are to hard to complete with out a group that know each other and works well together. however with this out of game match making that everyone is using already proves that the difficulty of the nightfall and raids are not imposible for 3 or 6 complete random strangers to do. just require a mic and give the option to opt out and every one will be happy. but if they keep making parts of the game only open to a select few that have tons of online friends and not to the normal people of the world this game will soon die out and they will lose the masses and it will be a shame. and to prove this point the number of people who still play this game has dropped every time they come out with an update
