    [Suggestion] Looking for Party and Seek Member button added to leve discription.

    Dear Yoshi-p/dev team

    Please take a look at the following image and consider adding a system which allows players to search for a party or seek for members prior to activating a leve at an aetheryte crystal.

    http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/2130/leve.jpg

    How it would work

    A player would pick up his/her leves and proceed to the Aetheryte, they would then select to initiate a leve and the leve information would be displayed. (refer to above picture)

    The following things could then happen.

    1) The player wishes to play solo and proceed by clicking Commence.

    2) Because he is currently playing solo and wishes to join a party he clicks Look for Group, he is then entered in to a queuing system where he is then matched up with other players also searching for the same leve, when a suitable party has been found (correct rank range) and he moves to the top of the queue he is automatically joined to a party.

    3) Because he is currently playing with 2 other players he wishes to look for another members within optimal rank range of his group, he clicks Seek Member, next his group is put in a queue where the next available players who has selected option 2) above is added to his party.

    Currently WoW has a similar system to this in which players are auto grouped based on their class ie 1 Tank, 1 Healer and 3 Damage dealers for dungeon encounters and hope that you could add something like this to leves and perhaps upcoming dungeons.

    Edit:- Please remember you can still use the current method to invite only those you want to by targeting and selecting invite from the meny system.

    I'd like to hear what the forum community thinks of this idea also so please feel free to comment on it.

    Any kind of system that facilitates players being able to find groups more easily would be a plus. The current tools available to help players party up are sorely lacking in ease-of-use and functionality.

    I fully support this. Not only would it add an ease of use function to searching for guildleve parties, but it would also facilitate those that want to use guildleves as a quick source of exp, which im sure is what the team was aiming for when implementing normal guildleves. It would also encourage others to party together, which is key to establishing a "Final Fantasy feel" within the game. If some tweaks are needed, so be it, but anything that encourages partying and working together is great.

    I think it'd be a very useful idea for the system. I'm totally for this.

    You can still make parties the old way, so nothing stopping you from doing that, it would just take you more time.

    Would be very useful indeed beats looking and shouting for party members plus it would beat the currant party search which has never worked for me.

    How about the matchmaking system that puts random people together with the added option to choose people who talk your own language as well as selecting how many people you what in the party. This way people wont have to keep wasting game time looking for party members.

    I like it. But hopefully we don't get lazy because of this feature. (assuming already implemented)
