Have to wait too long for a group

[Enkidoh]

Two hours? I don't mean to sound rude (and if I come across that way, I'm really sorry), but that's nothing to what I had to put up with in FFXI - there were plenty of times I wasted entire nights of fruitlessly waiting for an exp party invite which never came (as in, I spent six to eight hours sitting in Rabao with my party flag up to no avail, and as WHM too to boot - this was in 2006 by the way, long before the recent changes that make levelling easier).

It's that kind of situation where I'm glad FFXIV allows solo-levelling and automatic grouping via the Duty Finder and Party Finder. It's unfortunate you're having this problem, but patience is the key. Also are you only limiting yourself to English-speaking players? I find I often have to set the Duty Finder to all languages to actually get a party most of the times, something that doesn't worry me at all, but then I play on a JP server anyway so it's familiar territory for me.
