Search system suggestion

[Raistlin]

Is ok, a step forward adding a system to can go "seek invite" and can search who is in that state, but this step is too short. Is to complex for people to do it just to seek party, we need a easier system to search and seek invite.

First suggestion:

Add command to go seek invite with diferent jobs like: /inv CON,THM,GLA to auto add that jobs to "seek invite" all of them individually (i could like to search partys to level up with diferent jobs), just take info about my level on every one i write on command and add them to search list.

Add command to search people same as FFXI, it was a good system: /sea inv CON 40-45. And modify how you show people found. Every character found uses too much lines on search system, we can only see 4-5 per page. This could help a lot now to level up grinding in party. We are surviving right now thanks to Set partys.


Right now is too complex to Open Menu -> select Party menu -> Select Recruit -> Change purpose to Seek invite -> Write comment -> Click Begin Recruiting

And to search same thing changing Recruit button for search.

Second Suggestion:

A new button after selecting party button called: Seek Party where u can see all jobs u have leveled and mark them with a check box

Conclusion: We need an easier interface to search party, not 3-4 windows or menus and finally selecting a combo box.

this would be better served in the FEEDBACK & SUGGESTIONS forum.. which if you went there you'd see this thread already exists..

I honestly don't think SE will ever give us a proper search option, because of how poorly XIV is doing. They don't want the public to know how few players there actually are. And being able to search for players would give some poor schmuck the means to count us, then ridicule XIV ever more. And they were pretty much doing that before SE removed the world population from the party menu!

If they can't even give us a half proper seek system, then kill any hopes of a search system...it's pretty much dead as a game.

There needs to be some more then a half hearted player match system.

FF11's seek system was basic, but it's like 7000 leagues better then the crap FF14 has.

The FF14 entire seeking system backend needs to be hack and slashed to bits to make it usable.
