Yeup, hence the reason for this conversation in this public forum. For one thing, people can talk about why such a system would be a good thing. For another thing, maybe we can talk through some of the balance issues and implementation ideas, and reduce the amount of effort it would take.
Patch 2.3 convinces me that they're worrying about this
kind of issue. They are pumping a lot of improvements into the pre-60 experience. They are dramatically reducing the organizational overhead of running a casual guild (guild banks will
rock for poorly-organized teams of good friends).
I did bring this up on Blizzard's own forums from time to time, and there's generally been more support than dismissal of the idea when I've done so. But I've come to believe that
these forums are better able to support substantive discussions, as opposed to, say, "Rick Roll" links.
