Subtlety is Key (Destiny)

I'm for raid matchmaking if it means I won't get spammed with messages every time I go to the Tower.

The bigger (though not major) concern I have with them adding Raid matchmaking is people will finish their Raids early with randoms and not wait to run it with fellow friends/DBOers/arch nemeses.

This. I think it will upset the social dynamic that is unique to Raids, and part of what makes it special. I have a gaming buddy is who is old like me and complains about not having enough friends to run the raid. I've said this before here in a different way, but finding people to play with isn't very hard, and requiring a little effort in preparation for the raid is like requiring a house downpayment before getting a mortgage. With zero-effort-down I think we could end up with many players "underwater" and a lot of abandoned "properties."
