I think the Xbox system and the game itself make that sort of clear. If the party and fireteam are open and joinable, that means they are welcome to people joining them. If they’re not, the game allows players to close their fireteams and Xbox allows you to lock down a party.

I realize there are social anxieties for people in just randomly joining people, but I actively encourage folks to do it. Most of my best nights in Destiny have come from just joining that six or seven or eight person Xbox Live party and seeing what’s going on.

Yeah, my most fun nights have been when I've had the courage to drop in on a group. Still- I can't seem to get over the idea that I'm barging in whenever I do that. I dunno, but there seems to be a weird socialization protocol that I internalized and it keeps me from jumping into a party without invitation.
