They don’t even acknowledge lobbies. The Tower is not social and is simply a hinderance. Everything there could be accomplished from a menu, rather than long loading times back and forth. So may mechanisms the game are designed to be clumsy and time consuming. Even the app, which is intended to speed things up, requires an absurd amount of clicks.

No loadouts is the most glaring omission. Coupled with the tiny vault capacity, the excercise of managing your guardians becomes a joke. You cannot select multiple items, either.

No location in the Tower to designate an intent to raid. Go there inspect players, maybe there is a chat lobby. Include a level restriction. Let it be known that mica are strongly encouraged. Party up and go raid. Meet new people and add them to your friends list. Their implementation or lack thereof, deterred millions of people from attempting the raids.
