Social group content

[Bishop81]

Imagine content that provides players with the opportunity to help each other out - operative word being "opportunity"; i.e. it is (only) your mission should you choose to accept it. No obligation. You see someone having a hard time, you can help them out and get a token reward.

Firstly some additions to the UI. Players doing such content will have an icon next to their name so you know who they are. If you right click on their name you can see what they are doing and will get an "offer to help" option. They will then get a prompt, if they accept, you will be grouped with them and be able to see their current quest objectives and can help out - no more the "Cannot interfere with other player's duty" message.

After the objective is cleared, the group auto-disbands - so there isn't the awkward leaving phrase.

In addition, a "cry for help" button that places a clickable link in zone chat that others can click to check out what is up and offer help if they are willing, would be helpful as well.

What do you get for helping? Karma for when you meet St Peter at the pearly gates, (possibly) the other player's gratitude, and a token bit of gil/exp/maybe an animal skin/hide or two - operative word being "token"; it's not meant to be significant.
