This is actually a very good idea. Kudos!
This is one of my very favorite aspects of another MMO. It makes the game so much more fluid between soloing and teaming and MASS TEAMING. I would *love* it if it were adopted over here.

I'll buy into this, I enjoy this option in other games.
It's not a bad idea in itself, but I personally don't like taking away chat interaction as a minimal requirement for teaming.

Maybe it should only be in force during events. (That seems to be what the OP is getting at.) 'Cause, you know, when it's raining Rikti (or zombies, or whateverthehell else is involved in those things nowadays), there isn't always time for the niceties. |

That would be a nice use of the LFG function.

Rikti invasions and the like have a couple of key flaws:
1. It can be hard to find a group.
2. It can be hard to fill a group.
3. It can be spammy to read all the messages from people with the first two problems.
I propose an alternative solution: Open groups. At any time, you can set whether your character is "open" or not for grouping. When you are near any kind of giant monster, rikti invasion, or whatever, if you are near a character/group who is open, and you are not in a group, a "Join Open Group" button appears. If you click it, you join that group. (If there wasn't already a team, star goes to the person who was joined, not the person who clicked the join button.)
The basic rationale is that this kind of thing makes it a lot easier to find people with whom to group for stuff like Rikti events, and reduces chat spamminess. People who don't like it can just mark themselves closed and never click the join open group button.
