Make FFXIV more like FFXI and less like WoW

[Magis]

Not sure if this is a case of rose-colored glasses or nostalgia, or maybe your main job wasn't THF.... I loved the game for the 7 years I played it, but I didn't necessarily "have a blast" every time I played it. Waiting/trying for hours for a party when playing a THF pre-Abyssea was a pretty dismal experience a lot of the time. It wasn't until later when THF was given additional useful enmity/TH abilities that people actually wanted one in their party over other jobs.

Everyone says "for hours" but at most on a bad day it took an hour to find a party (and Duty Finder has queues that take up to an hour anyway!). If you were proactive and used /sea to search for party members, you could build one pretty quickly. I guess if you just flagged seeking party and sat in Jueno all day it would take a long time.
