Laziness or Problem? Only shouting rather than using /lfp and player search.

Only spam shouting LFP FATE/Dungeon versus using /lfp, the Player Search tool and correctly entering your Search Information.

I check every day to see if anyone uses these in game, I'm lucky to find between 1-3 people. I would assume it is because people either do not know about it, or they are just lazy. So they can complain about duty finder being slow, or having trouble finding fate parties. But who knows maybe there is an actual problem with it.

Never had this issue back in FFXI.

Anyone know any information on it?

Yeah it's sad.

I guess it all comes down to what people are used to - the "WoW" generation imprinted in millions of players the concept of "chat spamming", back even before a Dungeon Finder mechanic was even designed.

The concept of "flagging" ourself as LFG is kinda foreign to many, unfortunately. I personally find it more elegant and definitely less messy and confusing.

Think it is more due the fact it is tucked away, and outside of specific things a lot of content is solo able. Even in XI shouts for groups happened, just depended on what it was.

So when only things one really needs a group for is fate zerging, or doing dungeons, a good looking for group tool kinda falls by the wayside.

Where is this at? I heard they were going to put this in the game but I haven't seen it and I play pretty much everyday.

I would say its because people don't know about as I didn't though can't say that's everybody excuse but probably a good amount.

Wait, there's a lfp flag like in FFΧΙ!?! Ι seriously had no idea!

I use it to no results. It took me a while to find, its hidden. XI had the most simple, and best search function I have come across. Limited? Yes. Functional? Oh Gosh yes. It would be nice to see it used more, I have better things to do than /plantass in the most slaughtered zone ever.

For those that don't know...by memory, Social Menu, Right click your name...edit....should let you alter parameters

the search feature in this game is awesome, i dont think its lazyness but rather ignorance,must ppl just dont know it exists.

the efficient way to <>Looking for party<> is to /Sh and use the search

i always use it, but not many ppl flag up for LFP. i end up asking random ppl of my lvl if they are interested.

The looking for party function is hidden and there no clear visable sign like ffxi that shows people looking, and there search function is to far hidden also. Most modern day mmo do not even got that outdated function anymore. It just a waste of memory and storage and bandwith. Now if they can just get there duty finder to modern day usage be great. It just like in FFXI in the later years it faster to do a shouts in the right zones. Then to try and do the searches.
