Better Partying System needs to be added.

Final Fantasy 14's partying system is so broken for players who do not have friends an have came into the game as a solo players without a Guild or Linkshell .
Square-Enix you may have wanted to change how players build party's but i as a player
would much rather whisper/tell AFK players an not get a reply back then not be able to communicate with anyone i don't want to play Final Fantasy 14 to solo for that i would play FF8 an 9 all day like i used to you guys need to add the same type of system
Final Fantasy 11 has so we can find players ourselves instead of just starting a party search an wait sitting on the ground an shouting our shouts only go 4-6block radius on the map .
I hope anyone who understands what im trying to say would be glad to agree

[Thumbs Up If They Should Bring Back FF11 Partying System]

Not entirely sure what you are asking here...

But the party search feature works phenomenally... it's just that no one uses it. If people actively used it instead of waiting in Ul'Dah shouting, this wouldn't be a problem

Edit: SE gave us the proper tools for this. We, as players, choose to ignore this option and thus make it harder.

Already been confirmed to being worked on.

our partying system isn't really that good if we can only search for party leaders searching for a party meaning if theres no leaders theres no party an yeah i guess its pretty good if people used it right but it has flaws its like a one way street u can search 1 way but not the other meaning if i was a party leader searching for players i can't do that ,an that alone is not good i have to sit wait an shout .

Or you could just start your own recruit and then people will join you. I am not against the idea of adding a seeking party feature but I do think the current system is enough if people would just use the damn thing. If you want a party run a search if there is none set your own recruit up and anyone else who wants a party can join, easy.

I think the major problem is the complete lack of a reason to party, as grind parties are pretty much non existent and people usually do Leve's with their LS's there is very little reason to group up with random people and that is a bigger problem than adding a new way to find players.

Exactly. With the ability to both search out a party and recruit for your own, we really have everything we need. But as mentioned, most people are content with their own group of people in the LS. I remember quite fondly of party searching back during the pre-Nov patch and doing eft parties.

i think they need to add some of the old visual aspects, seeing the person with the invite over their heads let you know they were up for invites, as well made you aware there was a party seeking system. the actual party thing they have now is pretty good, but its like a hidden secret.
also it would help if people could let you know they are up for whatever then both sides could work together to make pts, the party seekers use the party recruitment, and the party makers set the party, but can also send tells to people who might be interested.

Yeah exactly before the great nerf of Nov. 2010 parties were going on all the time, we would always have 15 player Eft parties on the go but then they killed it and everyone went to cob/dob solo/duo and now they killed that it's Leve abandon or nothing pretty much.

They need to give us a reason to party, they could have the best party making system in the world but still no one would use it as there is very little reason to.

the update on the 25th of Nov. is think it was is what killed everything from that update it was a solo coblyn grind fest an with everyone being cob hungry players couldnt level nor make partys worth leveling

I think they should let us seek party in conjunction with the party recruitment system. No harm in that. Sometimes I would like to sit there do my thing and seek party for anyone who needs me. They need to get people looking for one another, or make the party recruitment more in your face: they can make it so that when someone is recruiting a party in your range and say you're seeking that same type of party (i.e., say a dungeon party specific to a dungeon) it'll give you a little alert in the corner of your screen or something, something to get people's attention.
