Parties are dead slow..

Grand Company Leves...I have gone from level 29-41 on MRD in the time span of a week and a half. No need for pty, no hassle. If you have no luck finding a Party after about 20 min...go do some level 30-40 Grand Company Leves. With Guardian Aspect its a great way to level AND get seals.

I actually recommend this, for some strange reason these leves give absurd amount of XP with Guardian's Favor.
But, it gets somewhat boring after a while ;_;

Yep doing GC leves IS great XP but as mentioned above 15 mins per leve gets REALLY boring BUT, it is an alternative.
Shame ur not on my server, the few people left in our LS are 47 Cnj and the rest 50 Cnj xD. You'd have no problem finding one of us on lol

Lol, someone's never played FFXI. I use to have my party flag up for MONTHS before I would get a party. 2 hours is not that long of a wait.

why do we need to have to worst part of ffxi in this game?

I see two kinds of players/people in this thread. Those who think outsidethe box, and thus so, accomplish what they want. Then there are those who chose to do nothing, then cry like little girls on the forums, when nothing gets done. Perhaps one group should learn from the other.

Sorry if your even remotely referring to me, I've been playing since beta and quite frankly I'm tired of doing leves.. If not then well disregard this post. And you know actually I wouldn't mind doing leves, if I could find a group.. I don't like nor will I ever play an mmo solo.. If I wanted to play by myself I'd go play skyrim.

Partys are not slow. The player base is simply not utilizing the search feature again. The biggest reason is because they don't know how or care to learn and use it.

Until they release the /sea all command it's going to be slower. Can't blame SE for people being lazy.

[RathSkybreaker]

I'm not really worried because it will be fixed in the future, just as of now it's quite tiresome to find a party/make one.. but after the merge / group finder is released.. I doubt we will have threads like this, considering it's done right.

Just gonna throw this out here... wish they had Level Sync.

Well, when some servers have 300-400 people online, and more than half are Rank 50, it's going to be hard to find a party regardless of search function and shouts. Spent a couple weeks seeking on my Conjurer, got me nowhere, no one was using the search function, and most shouts were for other levels. Sure I can think outside the box and go for sub-par exp, but that shouldn't have to be the case.

Level sync was hugely popular in FFXI, so not sure why they just didn't add it from the get go. Not sure if there's any plans to add it now, but it would be a good time, unless it's one of those huge undertakings like LS revamp. It would even be better in this game since there's no skilling up to worry about afterwards!
