Forcing necessary multiplayer for season tasks and crew bounties

I just wanted to submit this feedback after I completed the season 5 survey before I found this problem

I was really enjoying all the seasonal tasks and bounties prior to today, it really gave me more reason to boot the game up and work towards new goals to earn rewards. But right now I'm at the point where I'm completely stuck in all of the crew bounties because they all ask far too much for a solo player.

They're all asking to shut down Own the lot events. I am a solo player, and I don't have any friends who play this game. Although I really love coop game modes in other games such as Forza horizon, at least those games have matchmaking. This game does not, even after a year it still doesn't have this basic multiplayer feature. And seasonal tasks and bounties have been asking players to complete these coop events for multiple seasons now. I only barely completed last season's skate pass on the literal last day of the season after I joined a random person's party to complete a weekly challenge of skating in a party. 

It absolutely should not be required to play multiplayer events for the average player to earn all the rewards in the skate pass, or complete the crew bounties. 

I don't want to spam an entire lobby of players just to hopefully, maybe find people who are willing to play this mode. Today I tried joining a party with a few other players, and even then we couldn't even complete a full OTL event. I don't have discord, I don't have reddit, I have no way of finding other players outside of the game just to complete these events. It's insane that this game doesn't support matchmaking in 2026.

I also didn't enjoy last week's Slappy challenge where I needed to play the multiplayer spot battle just to fully complete the SUMR event. I do not enjoy competitive multiplayer. Please stop forcing all of these multiplayer modes just to complete story events and bounties.

I'd like to think I speak for a good amount of your audience when I say this. I just want to skate.

    I agree about how annoying it is the game doesn't have any kind of matchmaking or party backfill system for OTL, but you would be surprised how many people will come when you start inviting people. I can't think of any OTL that can't be beaten with just 3 people, let alone 4 or even 8. The Bonski OTL I've beaten with just 2 people, myself included. 

    Statistically, out of 150 humans, the chance that 2 of them are going to be a) Needing to complete OTLs b) Willing to complete OTLs is essentially 100% certain. Other people will need to do these reqs, whether for Skate pass or for crew bounties. It's not convenient or pleasant inviting a bunch of people and getting rejected by most of them, but it is a good skill to have. 

    Skate is a social game, I know you say you are a solo skater - I was too - but if you actually give people a chance to play with you you might make some reliable teammates for co-op.

    Even with friends playing a lot of us are going out to film more than we are doing a lot of these OTL challenges.  Even we are doing them they are super tedious and honestly annoying to even complete.  We really need to use the block party or even the spot battle system to get people to play these cause in all seriousness it is so hard to get anyone interested in doing these for me.
