/seek Chat Mode- "LEVEL 32 PUP LOOKING FOR PARTY...ANYONE? PLEASE?"

[Selzak]

As far as usefulness is concerned, the arguments against are sort of like saying, "I don't need to buy into this computer fad to get the news, I get the news fine by going to the store and buying a newspaper." This feature would open up additional information (maybe someone can use a different job, or maybe someone wants to create a party and another person doesn't- but they can ask a friend to fill the healer spot that's missing), but again, this is not the purpose of the feature. The real benefit of this is that players are automatically introduced into conversation with the players in their level range who are seeking. On the surface that doesn't mean anything, but anyone who's played the game for a decent amount of time can probably imagine how much this would influence those players to get a party created. The fact that it would also facilitate it is just an added bonus.

The example in the thread title is more of a joke than anything else, and not meant to illustrate the use of the feature. If anything, it highlights the subconscious need that we've had for it.
