Multiplayer requires PSN+ or Gold, its not up to Bungie, its just how Microsoft and Sony have it set up. As such, matchmaking for people without PSN+ or Gold won't be happening. (Its out of Bungie's hands) The only exception I'm aware of is for PS3, provided online play is still free.

Unfortunately for anyone playing Destiny without PSN+ or Gold, they miss out on more than half the game. Not to mention the high level loot which is restricted to activities like the raids.

The answer to that question is DLC, most likely The Taken King. When it came out, Bungie gave the whole game an overhaul, and in the process they introduced uncommon rarity gear that was more powerful in order to level with players through the new content better, since legendary gear drops so rarely.
