Last night I couldn't get any matchmaking to work. Strikes repeatedly dumped me in alone. The tower and reef were empty of other players, and PVP never found other guardians even when I let it run for several minutes at a time. In contrast Tuesday I had no issues at all. I could see other players in my friends list, but all of them had full teams.

Is there a silent banhammer, or did I just get a really underpopulated server shard?

Any chance your console time and date was registering incorrectly? Yeah, it's a bit of a stretch, but I've heard about people manually changing the time and date in their settings do they could bypass matchmaking...

Either my teammates were suffering terrible lag (which suddenly disappeared as soon as I was booted by Destiny [bird and cacao were the most common errors]) or I did.

Or are you saying next time give it a try?

Can confirm. I did it while getting dinklebots lines so that other people wouldn't win public events.
