Do you really use the player search function on a regular basis?

I use it all the time to find crafters online to do melds or make something for me, its a great tool if you know how to use it properly.

I always hope people will use it to get in touch with me if they need melds or want to hire me for crafting work. I get a few here or there but get the impression many don't know what player search is or how to use it. The game doesn't really make a big deal about it and a lot of people simply don't explore menus or read manuals.

I use player search to invite people to the Free Company or a Linkshell, and always with their permission. I also use it to invite people to parties that other people have asked me to invite.
