If you go for a drive, you could get in an accident.
If you use a stove, you could get burned.
If you play sports, you could get hurt and opponents could cheat.
If you swim, you could drown.
If you fly, you could crash.
If you walk, you could trip and fall.
If you explore, you could get lost.
If you go out in the cold and snow, you could get frostbite.
If you go out to eat, you could get food poisoning.
If you park your car, someone could ding it.
If you go to the beach, you could get sunburned.
If you talk to people in public, they could be mean to you.
If you go out in a storm, you could get struck by lightning.
If you go to a movie, it could suck.
If you love, you could have your heart broken.
So what I want to know is, if we shouldn't be allowed to have[b] optional[/b] matchmaking because our teammates might suck, be mean, not try or quit...
Why the -blam!- should we be allowed to leave our beds and risk all the millions of bad things that could happen out in the world?
Maybe the government should make laws to prevent us from doing all the things above so we never experience anything bad. Maybe we just shouldn't be born to begin with.
Now post some bullshit how it's somehow not the same.

Sols, as well as many MANY others, have been asking Bungie since launch for this. It's not that it couldn't be done (unless Luke Smith, Lars Bakken, Derek Carrol, Mark Noseworthy, Sage Merril, Jon Weisnewski, Jason Jones are all inept), it's that they blatantly have ignored it and the entire games community that has been asking for what exists as code already. The provided link is simple testament to how it's literally ridiculous the aforementioned developers wouldn't apply the most basic option, that works so well in other games as well as the division. It simply solidifies what Sols is asking for, as well as all other community Bungie has ignored since launch. [b]From linked article: 4. Dear God, Matchmaking "How many times do I have to say it at this point? Thank the lord that The Division actually gets this right, as it’s miraculous to me that Destiny is still so lost in the woods about this. Every endgame Division activity has matchmaking, including max-level Dark Zone and ultra-hard Challenge missions. Yes, it is obviously easier and better and more fun to go into these activities with a group of friends or clanmates, but [u]the option being there for matchmaking is the important point.[/u] Without it, I would rarely do the Dark Zone and probably wouldn’t bother much with endgame farming at all, but I’ve been very successful with matchmade groups in even the hardest areas of the games. Yes, sometimes it’s all gone to hell, but who cares? I know that’s a risk, but I still want the option. And that’s the thing, there are still tons of options. You can matchmake, you can play solo, you can play with friends, you can find a more cohesive team using TheDivisionLFG.com."[/b]
