Would you like to see a LFG icon besides the player name?

Don't want to bother players LFG on different class than what they actually using at that time, or when they are LFG for raid etc... guess same thing as players setting up their search status correctly etc but seems like not much using it still ><

This weekend I heavily used the party search matching for Cutter's Cry. And it actually worked really well. It filled my group up fast. Seems like mostly JP use it though. If more people even TRIED to use the search functions. It would be better. But guess will take time. LFG icon is a start..one step forward two steps back? :-)

Yep I see lots of JP shouting to search their name and read the comment and if interested or match the requirements in there to join the PT.

It's good feature if more and more people did use it.

So many icons as is but sure I think it would be a good addition. People would have more incentive to flag for party, since people in town could see it as well.

You know what I don't get? We have a search system set up already for us, which is exactly what we asked for, yet everybody seems to ignore it and just refuses to use it. You wanted text commands too? They added that too in the last patch. /sea invite whm 40-45. Bingo. Results pop up. Just like in XI. Don't understand why you needed an icon for this.

/request function

Very good news. Could have been implemented a lot sooner, but I guess it doesn't matter how you get there as long as you're there.

You'd be surprised by how many people never bother to read patch notes or check the site. These people don't realize the utility of the search/seek system at all, and will never bother if they don't think it's worth using. Keeping this information solely on the Lodestone wont reach this crowd. That's the point of this feature.

Awareness needs to be increased within the game itself if the search/seek features are going to be successfully utilized by the general populace. This seek flag feature is a step in the right direction to increase that awareness and spark curiosity in the uninformed.

It's just one more way to get noticed that you are seeking, it doesn't hurt anything unless you are worried about icon clutter.

It might even get you added to a group quickly once 100 people are seeking for Cutter's Cry* and you happen to be standing right outside the entrance with your flag up ready to go after your Linkshell's runs are complete for the day and you are still wide awake.

*Ok, wishful thinking but I am an optimist ;)

OMG finally! I can't wait to see all the LFG icons next to every dragoon ; . ; brings back old memories!
