This works under the assumption that guiding players into communication automatically will create parties, which I think is a correct one.
Then it's not a problem with the medium of communication but the laziness of the people looking for party. Once you put up your flag you are visible by EVERYONE who types "/sea all invite". If what you bring to the table is good enough there's no reason why anything more than /seacom is needed for finding members.
