A few requests for the Devs

I've really enjoyed Destiny so far and I can't wait to see what more it brings us as it continues. There are a couple of things I've noticed about the game though that keep occurring to me: 1. The Flashlight - the few areas in the game where your Ghost turns on the lights for you are extremely entertaining. There are a number of places however that are extremely dark and difficult to navigate that don't trigger the flashlight effect, namely smaller caves and loot/mob spawn areas. I've tried adjusting my TV's brightness and gamma settings to compensate for it but it doesn't seem to be something I can correct that way so I'd like to ask for a way to manually trigger Ghost's flashlight. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me that we don't have a way to tell Ghost to turn it on and having it at our control would solve some minor issues as well as open up some game play options for us. 2. Enemy AI - For the most part I've very much enjoyed the AI in the game. The enemies aren't really stupid, they hide from snipers, and they'll spend a decent amount of time 'on alert' before returning to their default behavior. But once I got into the VoG and encountered the Gorgons I realized how much more engaging the AI for the normal enemies could be. The Gorgons are attracted to sound and seem to have the ability to use a radar to find players once alerted they're nearby. This means running and using your secondary jump ability can cause them to notice you and crouching and staying still can cause them to lose track of you. I would love to see this behavior used for some of the normal mobs in the future to make stealth a bigger part of the game and to make trying to sneak up on or escaping from groups of enemies a more rewarding experience. 3. Melee Weapons - The Sword of Crota mission is probably my favorite mission in the entire game just because getting to use the sword is really fun and satisfying. When I got into the VoG and learned about the Relic I immediately wanted to give it a try and have since become a regular user of the Relic in the raids that I attend. I would love to see a melee weapon of some kind added to the game for regular use. I realize it would require some precise balancing to keep it from being overpowered, but I believe that it would make a suitable addition to the Heavy Weapon class and would be a fun alternative play style for some players. If it was some sort of energy or Light weapon it could still require Heavy Ammo to get full effect or activate the 'charge' options (ie the Sword of Crota's slam or the Relic's Charge) while still allowing greater than normal melee damage from regular melee attacks. 4. Looking for Group - I know this has been brought up before, but as I see it Destiny's greatest flaw is that it's an MMO that is almost entirely without social options beyond interacting with people that are in your instance or fireteam. I'm sure it's on your list already but I feel it would be good to reiterate it, we need a way to find players to play with without having to resort to out of game options like Destinylfg and ThatWizardCameFromTheMoon.com. Please build and implement at the very least an LFG tool for us to use in the game, it doesn't need to be fancy or allow chat. We just need to be able to fill a fireteam without sitting in the tower and sending random invites to players that may or may not be interested in joining our group.
