A proximity chat would be nice for things like recruiting fire teams in the tower and communication with random people while completing a mission. However, what if we could make a better system. When you look at a player and click the right stick, it gives you an options list for that player. This should also seamlessly open a chat with them, if they have that setting enabled. This way only the people you want to hear you will, and only the people that want to talk directly to you can. This channel would act much like an regular Xbox/ play station party system but it is in game and easy to use. So the chat would stay open while you are doing other things like inviting other people, and fighting the Fallen, and would only be closed when you hit the right stick again (aiming at a player or not) and with a second options window displaying all the people you are chatting with, select the person you don't want, and they will be gone. This will make a great community were you are not constantly annoyed by people you don't want to hear, and you can freely communicate. Imagine walking through the tower on the way to check you mail and suddenly hearing a voice say "sweet armor, were did you get it?" Now you can go on to do a couple of missions or raids with a person you just met, and even if you don't have enough friends to play with all the time, every day you make new ones! Please Bungie, give us our voices back.
