Did Destiny End Up Being the Social Game Bungie Promised After All?

A GAFers made another good point/question...

"How many time did you make friends from matchmaking in WoW ?"

You are making friends in Destiny, talking with them, having fun with them due the lack of matchmaking in Raid/Nighfall/Weekly.

Actually for me it is the exact opposite.  Rather than making friends in the game I am only exclusively playing those pieces with RL friends.  If there were matchmaking, and in that matchmaking (and the matchmaking already around) there were also opt-in voice chat already, I would have more ingame friends to turn to when needing to fill a hole here or there.

To answer your OP: it is not yet the social game they promised at all.
