Party Search Feature?

[Jaide]

A party seeking flag feature like XI is still better because there doesn't have to already be an existing party for the tool to work. You can just put up a flag notifying others that you want to party, and when the group does form they can find you. Sometimes just seeing a group of people with party seeking flags up is enough to spawn a party where one wouldn't have existed before. You can immediately see how many people nearby might want to play with you.

FFXI's system was simple and it worked. I'd rather they at least give us the option to do that rather than invest a bunch of time tweaking a tool that hardly anyone wants to use. Maybe if it was easier for people to form the party initially then more of them would be filling out the ranks with the existing tool afterwards.
