Why not just alter the "search" function to include a "Forming Party" option and let people search those. Seeking PT searching works, when people use it. Last thing we need is yet another shout channel.

Imagine every "(Can I Have It?)" Shout turned into a seeking pt for event, and every "(Do You Need It?)" Shout turning into a search for Recruiting for event. MAN what a concept!

I hate shouts... But searching sucks. If I need a repair, I should be able to "search" for someone offering repairs and it should put a marker on my map. If I want a Moogle PT why can't I search for a pt leader offering it?
