I literally waited 20 mins for people to fill my platinum lobby for the apex mission. Only 1 guy found his way there. We duo'd Firebase Nimbus (Juggernaut + Human Infiltrator) and after 25 mins we finally won. So sad to see ME:A dwindle into oblivion after only 7 months

What I find really odd is that there are actually a few people who play the game. But they only play with friends. While its nothing wrong with that, the pug life is a ghost town, and anyone who just stopped single player and are trying to get MP going, comes to see empty lobbies, or worse, platinum lobbies with equalizer IIIs and level 6 rank 1 exemplars.
It wouldn't be much of an issue if the game were designed to be played by 1 individual until a lobby filled up. But its a 4 man or a time drag out. The game is not dead, but no one (on PC) is in a pug game right now without either a low level burden or a cheat or a leech.
One a positive note, I have yet to have any issue's finding a game on Destiny 2 PC. I haven't purchased the game yet but it's getting very difficult to deny the lure. Very accurate and responsive gameplay with actual missions through environments rather than hopping around a square. When you want to get caught in a trap... I felt dread leaving my friends house to come home to .... MEA.... :srs:

Well, I wouldn't say "no one" is joining pug runs on PC, because I "only" join pug's. Although my play schedule is a bit sporadic lately (last week or so), I do pug exclusively and always on my Kineticist (the one I'm most experienced on and can do many things other kits can't with). And if I see lowbie (APEX < 500) players trying to form a run, more often than not I stick for the whole run and gear up (especially if it's a mission) to make sure they get that run complete and get some boxes to open.
I just have the following rules that I stick to and don't join or stay around in on: 1. Lobbies that have hacks/cheats running. I always drop those since they won't need me to help to complete those anyway. 2. Poor connection. No point staying because if I can't do anything due to lag, I'm just wasting everyones time by staying and trying to get something out of a run that only just prolongs the inevitable for everyone.
As for the OP issue, what times are you playing at? Because I find a healthy dose of players when I normally play, although I am located in Europse and thus have access to the players over here too more often than not throughout most of the day. I've noticed before thtat during mid evening times in the US, the player population does take a bit of a dive. It picks back up again around midnight for the US. At least for me here in Europe.

Finding a game in the UK in the am can be tough, anything above silver anyway. Generally though it can take 10-20mins but other day it must’ve been 45 mins to find a gold game...

#1 Their matchmaking process just blows, it blows goats, its awful. #2 Platinum sucks and is not that fun for most people. Many would find this hard to believe, and I may be wrong even. But for the 1st time EVER I hit the quick match and selected "any" and holy shit the game INSTANTLY found me a room, It was on silver, but I've been using it, (because I never have before and I just want to fucking play) and it reliably finds me a game even during crap hours. Something is really off in the matchmaking process, I've had a friend invite me to an open game, but using Quick search gold I never could join the room, even after 3 occasions of searching and him still having an open spot the game NEVER put me in his, or any lobby for that matter. I think its that "region lock" I read other forumners discussing a while back. Either way, its completely crap. BUT, recently I have found myself in games where people clearly aren't speaking any english and from the amount of headless destined and chosen running through the games, I'm guessing they aren't in N.America. Confusion isn't a good enough word to describe my feelings for the past few days. Also, on another note for people playing on PC..... if your memory is trickling please just restart your PC then start MEA, and CLOSE YOUR DAM ORIGIN CHAT/ORIGIN ID VIEWER WINDOWS....I kept a window open during a game and soon as I closed it the lag instantly STOPPED. Its like people don't even notice or make the correlation.

I've had no problems with Bronze or silver, literally seconds to get a full pug squad. Gold can take a few mins (10 is the longest so far) & I can't say about platinum I've never tried lol
So I don't think we can call the game dead but most people are playing the lower difficulties or in private groups.
