No longer lurking

Have been listening to the podcast for awhile but I have always been a solo gamer since the days of Doom and Wing Commander and most recently Skyrim. Some Co-op gaming with my teenage son. The podcast convinced me to try Destiny, but I'm definitely missing the group aspect since I don't know many 30-40 year olds who game regularly. Playing with non family teenagers make me feel pervy...  I have yet to do Raids or Strikes that don't have auto matchmaking.
