PC vs. console (Destiny)

Those games have in-game text chat you can write in with keyboards, no? Much easier to police and tune than voice chat. Less invasive.

From this and kidtsunami's replies I'm not sure if you may be misunderstanding the nature of the recruitment process in PC-based MMOs; whilst you can (and people still do) spam the trade channel for recruitment in WoW, there's also a dedicated interface for guild recruitment (and corporation recruitment) in both games. I'm sure it'd be feasible to do something similar in Destiny. Just off the top of my head — if you're flagged as a clan officer then people who aren't in a clan could have an option to request a voice conversation to talk about recruitment with that you. You could also place a clan banner in The Tower whilst stood in one place to indicate that you're looking for recruits. There are all sorts of ways you can advertise that don't involve text-based chat or leaving the game.
