Player search feature update. Supposed to be a joke from SE?!?!?!

[UnrealTai]

Sorry but I searched across all fields, there was one person seeking 4 hours post update. Is this a funny ha ha update for the system we got or am I using this thing wrong. I also "Seeked" and not a single tell came. As far as I can tell this system is NOTHING like the one on FFXI and it is barely different from the system used previously. So if NO one else besides 1 person on the server is using it, what exactly am I missing here?!?!?! We waited almost 3 weeks for the delayed update and ...... this was why??? Please post what is new, cause I'm just not see'ing it as far as search goes other then a few new buttons no one STILL will use .

So is there a problem with the system and it's design, or are you seriously bitching about people not picking up the new feature immediately post-patch after more than a year of ignoring said feature because it sucked?

You can't exactly force your players to use this feature. I hope you can understand the concept?

The big issue I have with the player search feature is that it's not server-wide. You have to be in the same area as the other players looking for parties. This isn't an issue if all you're doing is staying in Uldah like everyone seems to be doing (due to the poor region/city design). You can't be soloing off in Camp Bald Knoll and bring it up, as it'll come up completely empty if no one's in there looking for parties.

Otherwise, I don't know what problems you're having with the party search.

I believe most of the community is doing the moogle prequest and other things before going on EXP parties.

Are you doing the searches in town? That's pretty impressive. Is Palamecia a high population server?

People need to understand XI's party search, the original XIV search, and the new one all work just as good.

IF PEOPLE REFUSE TO USE IT, IT WILL NOT WORK. This is a playerbase issue...until the playerbase wises up no search will ever be functional. Even the easiest search ever, WoW's dungeon finder would fail hardcore if no one qued up.

And the server search is world wide, do not know where this region specific thing is coming from. Atm at ifrit spot, and I have searched and came up with glads in Mordona, West Shroud, Nanawa mines, Uldah, Limsa, Gridania, and Corethas

No, I was outside of town.. I didn't expect results like that, and not really, low pop if anything.

I did a seek party and my sister searched and found me just fine...
