Please use party finder

[Seryl199]

Also found that party finder is very under-utilized. It has lots of great options that allow you to specify just what kind of party you want, and even its exact composition, while leaving you free to do solo tasks around the game world. It would be a shame to see it go to waste

The few I've seen using requires gear ridiculously high like level 75 average for T1.

What I do is I'll throw up party finder, then shout including "Please join via party finder" or something in the shout.

It's nice because it makes it so you don't have to include a bunch of info in the shout. All the info they need is in the PT finder.

People just need to be made aware of it, then it'll catch on.

I have seen an increasing amount of group recruitments happening in the same manner. At least it's being promoted to a degree.

No one is going to use a party finder after a playerbase is already used to an easier to use 1 button queue system. DF should have been added now, and Party finder should have been out at release. This would have given everyone 4 months to learn names on their servers and make friends, and created an overall better community. Step backwards.

It would be a start if people mention it in the shouts
like "/shout Looking for members coil t4. Use party finder to join"

Party finder is good for everything you can not just click on duty finder, like creating a own party, Fate party, Coil run and more. In short for everything that people /shout currently.
But shouts are zone limited, while party finder is server wide.

I have seen a ton of Party Finder's for hydra and chimera. And like Eekiki said I have seen shouts like that a few times. Also saw some fate groups forming in dragonhead using party finder. I think its catching on, give it a week or two.

DF has access to more people thats why no one is using the PF

unless it not in DF you wont see much of anything.

[eagledorf]

I think if you're using party finder to make a group, you can't add people who /shout you? When I tried to do this I got an error...

[Virtuso]

Keep in mind most people never read forums or patch notes. With people combining shout with party finder I think it'll catch on as more people become aware of it. Though yeah the gear lvl's are rediculous. Saw one for the new hard mode dungeons with ilvl80 minimum. What?! Or Ilvl 75 when as a whm, even with +1 relic and FULL Dark-Light armor + full DL accessories I only come up to 72.

Its one of those chicken and the egg things. Nobody uses it, so its useless. But its useless, because nobody uses it. People have to be aware of the system and support the system for it to work. It would be really awesome if people did, though. I'll admit, its habit to resort to shouts or completely forget it exists. It kind of does need an "awareness campaign". XD

You are describing a Catch - 22 not a chicken - egg
