This isn't an original idea, but it would be nice if MxO had a "Looking for Team" chat channel to make it easier to team up with other people in your org.  My faction is small these days, so finding help for Pandora's Box or Area K isn't easy.  The channel would also be good for lowbies trying to find a group to level.  WoW used to have a "Looking for Group" channel, and it worked pretty well, IMO.  They replaced it with a nice LFG tool, but people just use the Trade channel now when they want to recruit help. 

There is some spam, but it's not as bad as you might think.  To help alleviate that, you could also create organization channels where people could share information, trade, and chit-chat, keeping the LFT channel mostly clear.  A player can always turn off the org channel if it gets too busy.  I know this has been asked for before, but I don't remember if or why it was rejected.  Since we have faction channels, how hard can it be?  In any case, designated channels for helping people get together in an MMO seems like a good thing to me.
