Many things.. but these are a few I wish they could implement to help feel connected to the world rather than feeling like I'm alone..
- Achievement/Trophy system, to compare with other players and your friends. Not necessary or useless. I have psn trophies and steam achievements. Both are just ignored after the initial 5 minutes of curiousity they aroused.
- Instant Messaging/Voice messaging, so you can message friends and check back quickly without interrupting the game. Could make some some sort of improvements here. You can leave messages to your friends and such. Heck hand written notes work well. Some sort of notifications would be okay to implement i guess. I usually just text/skype the friends i know or others i regularly play with.
- Party Chat w/ friends, to voice chat with friends while playing games even if you're not playing the same game. One of the more nonsensical things that happened last year. Seems amazing but ended up being detrimental to the spirit of online gaming communities. In the early days of Xbox Live, rooms were full with people communicating via their headsets (for good for bad). After this Cross game chat thing became big, the game lobbies just became more bland as people had important things to discuss while playing Call of Duty with a friend who is dabbling in some RPG. Just my view here but this is just stupid. What is off such utter importance that it can't wait till the end of gaming session to talk though. If is an emergency use a phone.

Just some green thoughts.
OT: System is okay. I use it in the same way i did use psn on ps3 during last gen. To play online.
Edit: I should mention though that nothing is far from perfect and there could always be improvements. Just pointed the above because it is not always the best policy to copy from and implements the features the competition has.
