I would [b]love[/b] this. At the very least, this would be fantastic for explore mode. The game needs easier ways to meet new people and communicate with them. The majority of the developers at Bungie may be a bit antisocial, but their playerbase is not. We want to make new friends and forge new bonds through battle. Making it so that we cannot speak to each other without jumping through hoops (however easy they may be to jump through) is directly against what players want. It is a heck of a lot easier to mute the 5% of the playerbase that would be irritating than it is to convince the other 95% to join my fireteam.
