See Kermit - the echo chamber is just too freaking strong.

Also, they've plainly stated their philosophy--they're eager to see what we do with the game because that informs what they do with the game.

In Halo's progression, game types, theater mode, forge--all were features added that enabled fans to more easily do what they had already started doing on their own.

There's a great bit of discussion in last week's Guardian Radio podcast about the nature of the Destiny community, and how much of it probably wouldn't exist if Bungie did everything for us in game. They were coming at it specifically in terms of matchmaking for raids and other top level activities. Personally, I can totally relate to the sentiment.

If Raids had matchmaking, I might not have come here to these forums and asked for help putting a group together.

I might not have had such a great first experience with the Vault of Glass.

I might not have found such a fantastic group of people to play with every night of the week.

I might not have dedicated a month of playtime to earning the Flawless Raider trophy, which stands in my memory as one of the greatest gaming moments I've ever had.

I might not have done a 2nd flawless raider run through Crota's End, which was another amazing experience.

I could go on and on, but I'm sure you all get the point I'm trying to make. It's tough, because I do often find myself sitting on the couch wishing I could quickly matchmake my way in to a raid or nightfall, but I'm equally grateful those features don't exist in game. By forcing me to go look outside of the game itself, I've found a group of friends who make this game what it is for me.
