Getting people in FC/LS to do things is always a chore for me, even before DF/PF features.

You could also see what things popular this way. Such as recruiting people to do CT pre-2.2 would easily fill up, even sometimes two full parties. But if you ask if people want to do treasure hunts, you'll most likely be greeted with dead silence, and with the occasional person asking 'what's treasure hunting?'
