I haven't really thought of that. I wasn't even aware you could sue over an idea unless you had a patent on it, but apparently you can.

I'm not here to make money though, in fact quite the opposite. I would gladly pay SE a monthly fee once the game is fixed and worth paying for. Not to mention, I absolutely despise court rooms lol.

If required, I would gladly sign this idea over to SE if it meant they would use it. I don't care for taking credit for anything, I just want a working party system.

While I really like your idea OP, more features is never a bad thing, I would settle for an interface similar to what we have in XI. A button to press that will put your flag up along with a search comment and a /sea all command.

They had a /sea all command at the release and for whatever reason they went and removed it. As it stands right now the current search function only aims to prevent one from finding a party.

To me it's yet another example of having a working idea, from XI, but instead completely discarding it for something less effective.

You want people to join parties? Give us a useful and easy way of finding people because as it stands now soloing is horrid outside of leves and finding a party is a headache.

/sighned Make life so much better, please and thank you! :D

/signed
I like the seek invite party idea where you can mark which class you want available for which event.

i like it. signed.

Fantastic design to go with a fantastic idea. You've may very well have done this game a favor, I think.

Also, I posted this on my LS website's forums to get the word to them as well. I've asked them to come sign it and give their thoughts as well.

All 3 Linkshell admin related threads that has been here since day one of forums. ;)

Definitely looks like a good idea. It's something I had always wanted in FFXI and now in FFXIV--a way to advertise your willingness to do a multitude of activities on multiple jobs (in a way that doesn't restrict what you're playing while being LFG).

Thanks for putting this together. I was thinking of doing the same, and you saved me the effort.

Great job MeowyWowie!!
Love the idea of being able to seek for multiple jobs, one of my frustrations from XI, also the visual party flag is spot on, love it!
I really hope Yoshi P and the team take this onboard esp with all the positive feed back this post has received!

Should be a widget button, On/Off, nothing more, nothing less.

As for the see whos recruiting, another button, these could be added to the 4 for P/A, emotes, Menu etc, add 1 button to toggle Seeking and another that pulls up a window with all those seeking with a side menu for filters.

Oh much like XI's!

What the Op suggested is pretty much ingame already and no one uses it, to many menus and to many options to think about, to many buttons and sttings, thus its stupid.

You can then have commands, /seek, /search :O even maybe /sea.
