This game needs some type of open/social chat system. At this point the only way to complete the raids is to blind invite/spam people to group up. Maybe a chat box through the smart glass or the ability to opt in for public voice chat while in the tower. I feel like this tiny change would have a great impact on the game not to mention create a social network for the game that would bring us all together as fans of the game. Even a simple looking for group icon i can put over my head would be better than using xbox live to slowly type msgs to people. At this point it takes me a long time just to get people to come together as a team just to find out that half the raid group is really bad players that can't follow instructions. I'm sure this has already been posted so feel free to merge this post with the others. However i feel like this is the time to do it. People are using their gift cards from Christmas and utilizing after Christmas sales to buy games; to keep these new players they need the ability to easily be part of a social network without having to go to their computer to post on the internet for communication. For me, i'm more likely to stay with an online game when i feel like i'm part of something bigger than my myself and able to get to know my fellow players and feel a connection with other people.
