This should be priority number one. I can't recommend the game to anyone until this is fixed. And it is long past time to hear from the developers that the current party formation tools are unacceptable and need to be replaced ASAP.

Now, I'm not defending the current party search tool over /sea, but i can understand where the devs were going with it. It was originally intended to recruit members openly (but also specifically), and for specific reasons such as Raids, Leves, and Quests, and to show where the camp would be located at. However, I think that /sea is so important because it is also quick, easy and specific.

Personally I think that the party recruitment system should be kept, but at the same time commands need to be added. In FFXI you had /search <area> <class>/<level>/<name>, but you also had /invite which would put your flag up. Don't forget about /inv guys, it was amazing. For this game, however, I think we could use a /recruit which would open up the party recruitment menu. I don't think we should scrap it especially because it's not friggin hard to use (saw a comment about rocket science, it's not that hard dude c'mon).

Anyways, /recruit would be very cool because I think being specific about starting a party LFM is pretty neat. For instance, you don't have to stop and /sea all 25-30 inv every 5 minutes in hopes that someone will pop up. They would just join once they got on. Another really cool thing that could be added for seekers would be like /sea all 25 recruit. There, now you can see who's LFM, whereas /sea all inv would show who's LFP.

Right now, the current system is more micromanagement than it needs to be, and it is also very limited in terms of what players are used to on MMOs. Adding /sea and /inv, along with /recruit, would make party searching lightning fast.

One of the few threads on this forum that i see a 100% acceptance lol.
And yet not a single community rep post.

It's pretty obvious we need a better LFG tool, especially since we got leves nerfed.

I've only been in a handful of parties so far and it's been nothing compared to FFXI because they only last for maybe an hour before 1 person has to go and no replacement can be found. If they revamp the party systen to someting similar in FFXI I think the game community would be better as well because nobody seems to talk and they're nothing like a very good xp party to make friends. =D
