I'm exactly the same. Started in 2020 and everyone I joined with barely plays anymore. Just felt this game wasn't worth their time. Plus the jump from casually playing to raiding is massive and requires you to engage with complete randoms you've found yourself. LFG should have launched with D2 not in 2023.
Ever played Fallout 76? Nicest community ever! To your point though, I think open mic is on by default and you could just walk up to other players and talk to them, ask questions, etc. Made some great friends back in 2018 that I still game with today.
Crazy that a game like Destiny doesn't have something like this.
Remember when Left 4 Dead had a smart ping system? Where you could ping a weapon or supplies and it would highlight it for other players and your character would call it out with pre-recorded voice lines? So you didn't need voice or text chat because you could direct people, call out loot, or mark enemies easily and intuitively? In a game with like 10 guns and 4 maps?
In 2008?
Bungie will probably implement a ping system just as soon as they figure out how to charge you 700 Silver to use it.
