This single feature will help the game to progress and also for the community to expand.

If this is a feature you are not interested in, don't post here - this is just a petition.

Please simply comment "signed" if this is something you want. Obviously, feel free to leave comments. ^^

signed why not

Signed. I hope SE makes it happen. A /sea all or /sea "name" would help a lot too.

Yes yes yes! >< 100% support!

Just came back to the game after a couple of months & trying to look for Exp Party and not PL Party is near impossible if almost no one's using the search feature.

Please! I'm sick of people not using the existing system and being forced to hang out in town looking for xp shouts.

100% Agreed! This is a must have! People need to use party search more and this will help with that.

We have that. It's /search. Can't do it by name yet, though. D:

Quote:

•[dev1333] The text command /search (/who) has been added for performing player searches.
For example, the following command line performs a search for pugilists between levels 10 and 20, whose status is Online.
/search online pgl 10-20
The following conditions can be specified:
* All conditions are selected when none are designated.
•Player Status
ONLINE (logged in) / INVITE (seeking invite) / PARTY (currently in party)
Ex.) /search invite
•Class
DOW (Disciples of War) / PGL (pugilist) / GLA (gladiator) / MRD (marauder) / ARC (archer) / LNC (lancer) / DOM (Disciples of Magic) / THM (thaumaturge) / CNJ (conjurer) / DOH (Disciples of the Hand) / WDK (woodworker) / BSM (blacksmith) / ARM (armorer) / GSM (goldsmith) / LTW (leatherworker) / WVR (weaver) / ALC (alchemist) / CUL (culinarian) / DOL (Disciples of the Land) / MIN (miner) / BTN (botanist) / FSH (fisher)
Ex.) /search con
•Job
Search for only those players who have obtained the jobs affiliated with the designated class.
Ex.) /search job
•Level
•XX: Search for exact match.
•XX-YY or XX
Ex.) /search 45-50
* Omitting a value will result in a search for players within 5 levels of your own.

•Grand Company Affiliation
GCL (Maelstrom) / GCU (Immortal Flames) / GCG (Order of the Twin Adder) / GCN (no affiliation)
* All conditions are selected when none are designated.
Ex.) /search gcg
•Area
Search for players in the designated area.
Ex.) /search [South Shroud]
*As is the case with all subcommands, place names with more than one word need to be in brackets.

•Language
EN (English) / JA (Japanese) / FR (French) / DE (German)
Ex.) /search en
If the Search interface is open when /search is executed, the conditions on the intertace will change to reflect those specified in the text command.

It's beyond urgent at this point how much this game needs flag system. Looking for members has to be simplified further also and new players will need a tutorial for the function.

Kudos.

The problem isnt the system, its the players. There is already a party flag function in the game, if you use search you can search by ppl that are flagged as "seeking party". The only difference, and its a minor one, is that it doesnt physically pop up over your head. So what? It doesn't need to lol.

Really ppl just need to lrn2usesearch.

People need to learn to search, yes, and this feature supports that need.

A major upside of having a seeking flag above your head, is that it draws attention to the seek and search systems, which otherwise (i.e. currently) get completely overlooked. There's a ton of people out there that don't use the search system due to just not being aware of its utility. This feature would help to increase awareness and spark curiosity.

It's really intuitive... And if I find something confusing, I look for information. First on the Lodestone, then my friends, then Forums. It's not SE's fault that people are braindead.

Regardless, I've been for a visible flag since the patch that came didn't have it. In fact, I made a thread about it a few days after it was released and nobody even glanced at it. But when your position is just one of blind demanding, then you deserve to be corrected. Thoroughly.

I think people don't use it, because no one uses it.
