Back on ffxi most of the time you had your looking for party status up, you almost instantly got an invite. Now on this game once you put it up you never get an invite. I know it probably has to do with the requirement to party to level up on ffxi , but i think one thing the developers can do to help this, is to make the looking for party symbol more distinguishable , kind of how it looks on ffxi. Another reason could also be the lack of option to do for example a "/SEA" command which will search for people on the area you are in. Just a suggestion.
LFG, LFP

I'm not sure which XI you played, but when I threw that flag up on thf I had plenty of time to finish a book or two before my first party tell lol

This game doesn't need LFP, what with Party Finder and DF, its up to you to look for a party not the other way around.

Ahh yes, the FFXI mindset that you're so awesome that parties will come looking for you. Once you get a group, the mobs should also come to you and impale themselves on your weapons.

I don't think many people know how to use the player search or set their online status. :/

Only classes I remember getting instant invites back in XI were corsair and bard. I used to throw up LFP on dancer while I was soloing 37-75 and I think I got a group a grand total of 4 times, only because the thieves they invited to pull wouldn't pull.

/scomment [stuff] - set a short message people can see when searching
/afk
/busy
/lfp - looking for party
/ltm - looking to meld
/search [stuff] - search for online players meeting various conditions

I did use my LFG flag once, for the egg quest.
As above, you have one. People just don't use them.Quote:

05-02-2014, 10:46 PMLegend_Yeah as DrK I made 99% of my parties always had to look for healer first then the rest fall in place. Brought back memories. I literally had to course and smooth talk the healer to join with promises, they never had flag up the ones that did got snatched up quick.Quote:

In fact I had to ask people who wasn't EVEN on the healer job if they had one. They had to change jobs to hide from all the invites.
Like someone else said I has madd /sea skillz looking in all zones quickly.
With PF and DF the current flag is almost useless maybe make up some different type of flag.
