I've joined a growing PvE community and it struck me as a bit awkward that the person who started the group needs to give everyone who joins the okay before they play.
what i suggest is guest membership, this would be by a form of recommendation in that to be a guest in a group you would already have to know one member.
what you would do is give the option to set up a group of your own that, depending on the main groups settings can be linked to it, anyone joining your personal group would automatically be routed to the main group should they join your group, with only personal authorisation required.
i hope that makes sense, basically the subgroup would act as a gateway to allow friends of friends to join in activities in a group on a more ad hoc basis without the need to be authorised buy one or more group admins.
this would be especially useful if the group admin is away for a few weeks as new players could be added on a probationary basis.
the player interface would have 2 possible guest settings, 'play with me' to only alloow the guest into the group while that person is online, or 'play with the group' that would allow them to play with other group members.
both settings would be switch-able in the main group admin page.
