With no signs of Raid matchmaking, the causal gamer such as myself will be leaving soon.
(I know this makes many of you happy)
You see, I am not a great player by any means, and while I'm not mad about leaving destiny, I won't be buying the DLC.
I just got the "charity" boots and gloves from IB. With an exotic chest piece, I have only a helmet to get to 30....
I will not be able to raid without matchmaking, so I wont be getting the raid helmet....If I cant get to 30, why get the DLC
Matchmaking was an oversight, no matter what you say. So its cool, destiny was fun for the most part...but I think in the next 2-3 weeks it will be over and I'll go back to Madden
Just an insight from a more casual fan to Bungie... I know your game is a monetary success, but you are leaving some money on the table with some of us.

I was in your shoes not too long ago, and I shared the same opinion on match making. After taking a shot in the dark and looking through the forums, I finally got into a raid group. Now I have people inviting me to raids constantly. Matchmaking is a bad idea for raids. You have to be able to communicate with your teammates, and you don't want to run into people that are just looking for a particular item. In your case this would be a raid helmet. Imagine being in matchmaking and someone gets the item they are looking for early on drops. You are short a member at that point. My suggestion is to use the forums and join a group of people raiding.
