Social improvement, some needed features to make life easier!

So, the social system at the moment, is not 100% user friendly, with lots of typing and selecting and going through options before you can invite people to a guild or send mail to them.

I'd like suggest 2 options to be added into the game, cause you know there are a lot of crazy gamertags around which are near impossible to type.
x iI Roger Ii x or the xIlum0oOxlIx and so on and so forth.

1. Select a player, either in group, in friends list, or just his caracter standing infront of you and give us the option to invite him to the guild!
2. Same as above but then for sending mail to a person, its a pain in the ass to type in peoples gamertag to send them a mail.

3. (Bonus, not necesary) nice to have is a system that automatically identifies peoples gamertag when we start typing, so if i want to send a mail to x iI Roger Ii x a drop down list will show people on my friend list and in my guilds that start with x iI when i start typing.

For
2. i know there is an option to invite people into the guild via the Chat channel participants list, this option is perfect, and should be added to all other lists of usernames.

What do you think?

Cheers,

    I thought this was in the core UI already. Will have to try without add-ons, but I do get a drop-down list with names when sending mail, and don't remember installing an add-on for that.

    I believe for PC yes its the case, though it is not for Console...
    You have to type in the exact and entire gamertag

    For the console game, they apparently decided to make an asocial system. Perhaps they wanted to try something different?

    I'd say that the number 1, most needed social thing they need to add to consoles is a freakin' TEXT CHAT BOX!!! :wink:

    Maybe they need to add TEXT, but you know, people are going to have a hard time typing, unless plugging in USB keyboards etc. etc. hassle, not Console friendly :). but a fine addition i agree!

    But for now best way is to improve the group finder, and for people using it to have some common sense, for those with an Xbox, you got a free Headset, just use it, if your shy atleast put it on to listen to others :)

    This is usually a bad idea, I keep area chat turned off to maintain what little sanity I have left.

    Obviously i mean once you are Grouped... so its a great idea, if you want to do a Dungeon, seems like a perfect idea to put on your headset to be able to communicate with your just created group so you can do dungeons together!

    Its all about Grouping, i'm not talking about general chat to get groups! we have a group finder, it just needs to be optimized...
