search should be global chat should stay local.

XIV doesn't have to copy any MMO, but communication is a vital component of MMO games. XIV has very little.
FFXIV need a damn player search the one they have pure caca, ffxi didnt have a global search but you always could talk to anyone and choose party member from anywhere cuz you were forced too and you built a base that way, party searching icon helped while searching to see who want to party. thats how you chated in ffxi and ffxiv should keep it local.
damn SE for leaving out that /search all !!!!
