Anyone who plays raiding in WoW would understand why Bungie decided to do this for raiding. It is very importatnt for teamwork and communication to be an effective group. You'll probably argue that they have LFR which is matchmaking and I'd argue there are always people who take charge in the group and lead them to do the right thing. Consoles are not so fortunate to have another form of communication besides mics which not every player has. If you're not able to hear what your teammates need you to do you'll be another lone wolf with a separate goal. Even with communication you'll run into people who are "do it my way or the highway" and then you'll have yet again another lone wolf. Matchmaking would just lead to fruitless efforts and wastes of time. If you believe logging on to bungie.net and looking for a group on here is too much of an effort then you are simply lazy. If you argue these people are still randoms you'd be correct, but these people have already expressed interest and effort into doing a raid. Matchmaking randoms tend to have their own goals and will not follow a group goal (I can tell you from my ridiculous number of hours on CoD BO2 zombies). Also how often can you say you're always in a matchmade game where you win 100% of the time with randoms? I know for a fact I can't and that alone would discourage me from doing a raid with a 6 man group of them. Don't forget this is my opinion and if you disagree that's cool, but in the end I don't care what you think of my opinion.
