Destiny Concern - Friends and Fireteams (Destiny)

TL;DR - 3 people in a fireteam, a fourth person cannot join and stay with them even in explore mode (which is actually designed to be able to have have more than 3 people in one instance).

What do you guys think? Is this a problem? Have Bungie considered this?

They have most certainly considered this. They think about little else.

3 seems to be the number they've settled on, and do it consistently. They seem to view it as the ideal party size, and it likely won't change.

In explore mode, you're meeting other groups, because of the instance structure I'd say it kind of unlikely [at launch] that you'd run into groups or friends you already know. It being strangers adds to the "living world" / connected vibe.

It's personally not a problem for me, because I think if my "first pic" group was already full, then I can join up with some fun DBO/HBO/HaloGAF/DestinyGAF peeps :-).

And hey, if it's someone I don't really know yet, it's a chance to make a new friend.
