I completely agree (Destiny)
I liked being able to invite my friends in halfway through a weekly. I can get started while they switch characters etc...... Not really a fan of being forced to play the weekly wih randoms if I don't have a full fireteam
Which is why it should be OP IN.That's cool it's now an option, but that's what it should be: an option.
One reason is that sometimes it's fun to play with just one other person. Other times it's fun to have someone you know drop in along the way. Those experiences will now be rarer. Seeing friends with two on a fireteam will be rarer.
Here's an example of how matchmaking can be suboptimal: last night a long-time gaming buddy of mine was on. He doesn't play much and is still a 23. My friend just likes to shoot stuff. We tried to go for the Arcon priest bounty with one of my lower-level characters, and got matched with a 32, and there wasn't that much left to shoot. That player dominated, understandably.
Here's another thing. I actually liked using LFG sites for these. The challenge didn't demand too much if your team wasn't the greatest (the cost of failure was much less than nightfall, obviously), and the act of being on an LFG site signifies more of an investment in the game than pushing a button on your controller does. In other words, there are randoms, and there are randoms.
In general, I'd like more chances to play the game at my own pace. I don't hate the investment system like you do, but I think that it has led to much more controlled playing options and has greatly limited the customization options in Destiny.
