Whatever reasons they may have had in the initial weeks after the launch are absurdly outdated. At this point, almost everybody who's been playing since around the time of the launch has plenty of raid and NF experience, and could easily be matched with an appropriate group. It's VERY simple... allow the person starting a raid to select the raid level (we can already do that), the minimum level of any potential matches, and perhaps an option or two, such as whether the random matches have a mic. If I had that basic level of control over a matched VOG run, coupled with the ability to boot (again we already have that), I'd be doing matched VOG runs and meeting a LOT more new players. I mostly do NF with the same people, but matched NF is needed just as badly. The current system of spending two minutes to open the PS menu, what for the rcvd msg list to load, open the msg., read it, and reply to every stinkin' request I get at the tower, half of which just say "Play Destiny!", with no info about it being VOG, what level VOG, whether they have the rest of the group, whether people have mics, what level the potential other players may be, whether they're starting from scratch or some other point along the way, if they're ready to go, etc. etc. is just a royal pain in the a$$. As a result, I ignore at least 95% of the requests I get. On that note, for the idiots out there that send invites to people without bothering to provide any info whatsoever in your invite, go screw yourselves. Do you enjoy spending all of your time waiting for the PS menu to open and retrieve the list of received msgs, only to open the play request and find it devoid of any information? No? Neither do I. If you don't have one or more lvl 30 chars maybe you don't know how irritating this is and how often it happens, but someday you will. If you're one of those people, try sending the person a MESSAGE, with info about what you want their help with in the SUBJECT line, and THEN if they reply you can send them an invite. You'll have MUCH better success.
