Laziness or Problem? Only shouting rather than using /lfp and player search.

[Oextra]

It is not laziness, or a remnant from 1.0, or whatever.
Let's say everyone starts using the LFP tool and shouting goes away. What now?
I search, get the first 200 people on the list that meet my criteria. Great. Does this person want FATE? Do they want Praetorium? AK? Primals?
There is no separation for what the player is looking for party for, and it's hardly reasonable to expect the party leader to read every search comment and send a tell to every player that is LFP.
This is why shouting is currently the most efficient way to form a group. Until we have a way for people to flag themselves as searching for single (or multiple) forms of content, the LFP feature is useless.

Wth are you talking about? You can TYPE what you are specifically LOOKING for when you /LFP....genious. You can even say what class(es) you'd prefer to use and everything. Ty for proving that it is indeed ignorance that causes people to not use this function.

and it's hardly reasonable to expect the party leader to read every search comment and send a tell to every player that is LFP.

There are hundreds of people on every server all looking for parties for different things, sifting through every search comment to find out what people want is going to take an awful lot of time.

These are the exact parts where you prove your ignorance for:
1. When searching for players, you can pick exactly what you are looking for in terms of Online status, Class/Job, Level, Location, and Language. This not only cuts the list of players, but also gives you massive control over what you are looking for. Hell you can even look for party leaders under Online Status, and see what they're doing or wanting to do. It's no where nearly as random and unorganized as you believe it to be.
2. So seeing hundreds of people spamming at any given time is more efficient than using an organized search function and reading through a few comments?
3. So it's more reasonable to expect the party leader to search through or wait for spam in order to find a player than look at an organized list of what type of player they are looking for? Interesting.
4. The party leader doesn't send a tell to a person LFP....they invite.

Once again ty for proving that it's ignorance that keeps people from using this and relying on spamming every few secs or mins. For if you had any real idea about the search tool, you wouldn't have said anything you just have said on this post.
