When in the tower or reef you see a lot of guardians running around but for being a social hub where everyone meets up to do business, why isnt there a way to post a note or status like "hoping to raid" or "need help on quest".
It would be a welcoming note for other players that are on similar tasks and the like. I personally would find that more inviting then sending random pms through console OS or on the forums, where you have to find out time zones, locations abd the like. The guardians you see on now running around are probably playing at their regular times and it would be more likely you will play with them again.
Thoughts?

One thing I love about another game I play, which is on two old gen consoles (ps3 and x360) as well as PC - there's a full on ingame text chat. With channels for clan, the entire current instance, local area, and even includes whispering to other players as well as group/fireteam chat. And that makes it quite a lot easier to find others for activities (when there's others interested in those activities, and they're reachable) Something like that is something destiny should have had from the start. Having to hit a button, then another button, then move a cursor to view gamer card, scroll down 5 times to send message, select voice or text, then enter a voice or text message.... all that's just too cumbersome for trying to find people for activities. Also: relying on XBL messages - creates shit tons of spam messages from people sending mass messages to their last 100 recent players. Quite -blam!-ing annoying most of the time. @Bungie: add ingame chat.
