PC vs. console (Destiny)

I wonder if this could be resolved with a bespoke place outside of the normal path in the Tower (like the couch basement area). You walk up to one of a few available stands and press 'X' to recruit. On a screen behind where you'd be standing it shows your Clan Name, # of members, and provides you an interface for managing voice chat. Then someone can walk up and press X to engage you and you can start chatting. The recruiter can subsequently silence anyone to keep people from just harassing others interested in joining a clan.

Given how ridiculously slick everything else in Destiny is, I imagine this is a tough problem for them to solve appropriately.

That could work, although I'd argue it ought to be somewhere a little more prominent. There are plenty of open spaces where people could stand around to do this currently, with the Tower feeling so quiet.

Out of interest, what information about a player's clan can you view in-game? Is any of that shown if you inspect a player?
