I play the game, but don't commit enough to maintain friends. I'm honestly not interested in investing that kind of time, but I like the in-game challenges and want end-game loots.
You can give ranks by # of completions mixed with combat stats, so people with similar skill levels get grouped together.

Its a cool idea, but you end up with dead worlds/dead lobbies. I think them just making dedicated worlds for end game content like they do with toa is best way to go. You'll always find people advertising, even the low end invos to learn from.

holistically, that would require a full system change to how raids are set up now in friends chats or the boards so I don't see that happening. I've played a decent bit of MMOs that have and do not have end game match making. It's nice to have when you're really new and finish the quest or requirements to do the thing, but in today's age of communication: it's a whole lot easier to join a discord server or in our case a clan where you can easily find people to raid with.

I think they talked about this on the podcast (?). Might be misremembering. Along with the ability to check non-instanced boss spots + get recommended open worlds.

@thorny rose do you know which episode this was? I'd love to try and find it.
lol nvm literally the first 5 seconds of the first video I opened "a golden age and balancing new content"

Yeah I think they refer to it as Looking For Group, not matchmaking
