I don't think this is just for "facing a friend" as I feel that's just a fun little thing players will enjoy, but has zero impact otherwise. The actual use of this comes when trying to place things like portables or other skilling stations. Instead of your character just throwing it down wherever.
They could simplify this much more, by just making the compass with your minimap be able to direct which way you player faces. Currently pressing the compass icon on the minimap re-centers your map to make it face north. They could expand the compass, where you can actually press the N, S, E, W and that would determine the direction your character faces.
That way you walk up to your friend and just face that direction.
Also if you're on w2, and want to line your portable up with the others south of the GE, you walk where you need to and face south so it places in front of you.
Doing it that way also prevents having another right click option that would need to be opt in or not.
