I actually don't mind the new system the huge glaring flaw in it though is nobody uses it.

I like being able to setup a recruit for the exact ranks and classes I want and then carry on doing whatever I want to do while I wait for people to join it. As a party leader it does help but like many have said no one knows how to use it properly.

I think another reason for it being so under used is it that with how the game is at the minute there is very little reason to get a group going to go grind due to not getting much benefit being in a party of 5+ people over duo/trio.
