Party Finder Improvements!

This isn't a bad tool... but it feels quite janky in its first iteration. Few changes needed to make it really worth while.

1. Show all the parties in the party finder, even if they're full up on your specific job. It doesn't make sense to restrict by job, when you can just switch to another job just as easily. Right now, you have to switch between multiple jobs to make sure you can see all the parties available.

2. Allow for 'RSS' feed of party finder in game. Like how we can see shouts in the city, it'd be good to have a little bar that allows us to monitor new parties been made. Otherwise you forget to open party finder while doing stuff, and it just means a much lower rate of people using it than it should be.

3. Allow for players to post up looking for party messages - the other half of the party finder is missing, because I can't just tell people what class I am and what I'm looking for. Would also increase the rate at which party finder is used as well.

And one more

4. Allow for cross server Party Finder. If we can get cross server Duty Roulette and PVP, then this seems like it should be technically possible. Would actually mean that you can find a party you want to the right specs when you want it, and not just rub your hands together and hope.

I like it being just for your server kinda.. ><

However I wish to add something...

Whenever you attempt to edit the recruitment conditions, item level required gets reset.... It shouldn't happen. Is extremely annoying having to reset it to the number you wish, and unnecessary, previously chosen iLvl should be cached =P

Then maybe there should also be "server only" check box for players like you? :)

'Why can't we have both?'

It may not be possible for cross server, since you can look for FATE or quest groups that aren't possible to do cross server.

So going along with the server only checkbox idea, if they select FATE or quest, then logically, the server only checkbox would be auto-enforced.
