Indeed they may serve different purposes but I just think its causing more confusing in general, the old system needs to be removed IMO.

It's the idea in FFXI, sure.

But alot others MMO have the system where leaders just put recruits up, whats funny is nobody actually using the new one really despite the it being less convoluted.

Anything is confusing if people doesn't want learn it, not saying that the systems is good. It can be improved, but removing it because people are ignorant? lol.

search function >>> online status >>> looking for party

its that easy

The search feature is still terrible. One look at it and my first impression is I want nothing to do with this. Time to shout in Uldah (Jeuno 2.0).

or just shout in uldah for parties cause thats were everyone is lol. and ppl who arent in uldah probably have ls mates that are that will let them know that there are shouts for pts. just sayin.

The new search is a lot better i can LFG while on Miner or while on a 50 cap class, so that means you don't have to be stuck sitting in town on the class you want to lvl.

Yes but isn't that what this thread is about.

I think it's pretty obvious that outside of a few tweaks that can be done like allowing players to use auto-translate in the search comment....the search feature is fleshed out pretty well. It was also explained in the patch it was released with, as well as explained on the lodestone , and now in this thread.

If you don't know how to use it; it's because you either didn't read any of the 3 tutorials available to you or you don't know how to read....

In FFXI if I were to seek on a whm or blm even now I would probably get a exp invite within the first 5 mins of seeking, since people seem to actively use the search.

What is it with people in FFXIV not using the party search feature? I can't really understand why people don't seem to use it.

It is used all the time on Wutai, but the problem is until mergers there really isn't enough people on our server for it to serve is maximum potential.

This. Being able to call it up quickly with text commands would cause it to be used more.

It's not that people don't know how to use it, it's that it's not as... snappy as it should be.

How many times did you call up the search function from the menu in FFXI, versus doing /sea all MNK. The beauty of the FFXI search function was how you could easily search for anything with a text command:

/sea all GAL PUP 99 Tah (Player names beginning with 'tah')
/sea region TAR BLM 75-99 Bastok
/sea Jugner HUM 60 ballista

Problem is more than half the server seem to be all 50s with DOW DOM.... Well maybe not half but a lot of people.
