Seek Party Flag + /sea all command PLEASE!

[Souljacker]

Why FFXIV didn't come with any search command out of the box is beyond comprehension. Its mostly like the dev team for FFXIV had never played another FF game and had no idea what one looked like.

It actually did - we had the /sea all command but it was taken back out of the game within a month. Best guess back then was that it was because they wanted to hide the population.

It does need to come back in order for people to build meaningful parties. I looked at the interface for trying to group and within a few minutes was disgusted with it. It's too complicated and there are more clicks than needed. No one is going to use it.

Ok I have never posted on here before, but i read this and could not allow this post to not be read for lack of replies! I play MMOs for one reason and one reason only..... To play a game with other people. Let's face it If we wanted a game that had an amazing story and perfect dialog while chatting with some friends we'd play one of hundreds of normal great RPGs out there while having an Instant message window pulled up.

We play this and any other MMORPG to play and cooperatively interact with other players. The FF11 /sea all "job-lvl" inv party flag function was amazing and worked beautifully. Right now and since starting to play this game almost a year ago I have been literally unable reguardless of how hard I try to make a party to simply go out and kill stuff. THIS SHOULD NOT BE THE CASE PERIOD! and there is no way I am alone in this thought. I loved FF11 dearly and played it for many many years and I hope that FF14 will one day come to meet or even surpass it in my eyes. That day is clearly not now but I hold on to hope.

/agree!

FFXI had a search function that could be either incredibly simple or very complex depending on how you wanted to use it, hopefully FFXIV will incorporate the better parts of it into the game

The next few items on the agenda for the dev-crew should be centered around the social aspects of the game: search features, friend-list functionality, mailboxes, etc... ... chocobos ... improved UI latency, display of HQ items in market searches, ability to save action-bar configurations, etc...

What I liked about the FFXI search system is that it also had more function then just building PTs. Being able to just locate others was nice. Seeing if there were people in your area was good, which, will come in handy if the PT grinding groups start to pick up as the norm in FFXIV. This way you can see if the potential camp is taken before moving out there.

Also the pt flag system was simple. I put it up if I want a pt and continue doing my solo content. I put it down when I change my mind. The comment box was also nice because you could leave useful relevant info such as "I also have X job at Y rank available". Also a graphic indicator that popped up if you had your flag up would be good as well.

OMG People you are awesome!!!! Finally seems all us are gettin together and try to ask somethin really really important... A MUST!
The game could be more more fun because you can meet people to play with, way more easier than now... you dont have to log on(who can) 1 hour earlier to start hopin for someone that will look that usefull system.

Not so shameless BUMP!

This game is in serious need of a good party creation system.

The community rep of SE said streamlined LFG system will be looked at.

I hope that "Will be looked" is like next update, since isnt a massive thing to apply... like a new town... just a simple function.

Anyway i'm waitin to see it!
