Does B.net need a instant messaging service and friends list, similar to Facebooks?
Do you guys think this is a good idea?

They only become less desired through the acts of those who use them. They're no different from the system used by the Bungie.net mobile app and people like that system a lot. That system is a true Instant Message system (even though it doesn't show the entirety of some posts) that just doesn't update automatically. An instant messaging system is just a PM system that updates automatically, and where's the harm in that? [Edited on 08.12.2012 10:15 AM PDT]

IM would be way faster than the current message system, so it would be good.

Bungie.net just needs to become facebook v2.0

[/quote] Funny, I came up with this idea not two days ago. I think it'd be beneficial, but first you would need a "Friend" request to be accepted in order to chat, least in my version of it. This idea could work, but I doubt the general populace would accept it.

Maybe for private groups - I don't think I'd use a live chat on the mains though. Also - live chat would be a lot more difficult to moderate. [Edited on 08.12.2012 5:20 AM PDT]

Well thats what happens when you share a name with Slayer. I was wondering why you hadn't posted some bizzare videos already.

The Bungie App is my IM machine.

I certainly wouldn't mind a more instant form of communication no. It would be really cool if this feature could also transfer over to the Bungie mobile app. Food for thought I guess.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] evilcam I think groups should have a built in IM. I don't think it would be a good idea for the public boards. There already is a TON of harassment going on via the PM system. If you made it that much easier to instantly spam hate to people, especially on the game forums, I think we'd either have to find a different way to deal with that (beyond just blocking) or we'd find it wasn't worth the time to make it.[/quote]PM spam filter (something that gives you a 30 second timeout if you send, say, 7 of the same message to a person or the same message to 7 people) or send-rate-throttle coupled with the already-in-place "block user" feature solves about 75% of that problem, the way I look at it.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] True Underdog tell them Blink sent you.[/quote]lel IM system would be ok if you could choose who you can do it with you. i.e. with a friends list. I wouldn't want to go on the flood then gets loads of IM's from derps.

Evilcam has a good point.

I would like to have a friends list and notifications. If not both, then notifications when I'm quoted.
-
I don't think it's a top priority, but why not. It would be useful to IM Ninjas that we know are online too.
-
I'd probably use it...[i]in more ways that you'd possibly imagine...[/i]
-
Dont think I would use either, but it wouldn't bother me if it was there.
