They said somewhere they're going to make LFP more useful.
The fact that almost everyone uses /shout is kind of a remnant from 1.0, where the player search was so awful it was completely useless.

I agree on the first part, but not on the last. The other system wasn't a player search, it was a party offer system. The only difference was that you, the player, had to become active and look for a party for the content you wanted to do. The leader just set the party composition (e.g. x tanks, y dps, z healers) and you could join if you fit the criteria.
The player search they added later, and what we have now, is the other way around, the leader has to actively search for any people willing to join. The Japanese were using the recruiting function all the time, and that's what the devs said they would bring back to 2.0 later on. Rest of the world ignored it out of ignorance - just like the player search system.
Actually, the amount of people using it now is even less now than it was in 1.0
