    The new seek invite function

    Did anyone see the seek invite function from patch note?

    "[dev1079] Two new options have been added to the party search and recruit features.
    Instanced Raid
    Seek Invite
    * Players using "Seek Invite" as their purpose when searching for a party will appear in recruit searches only when the recruit purpose is also set to "Seek Invite." "Purpose: none" recruit searches will not turn up players who have set their searching for party purpose as "Seek Invite."
    "

    I don't get the system and don't see anyone using it. This could me just me.

    What do you guys think?

    We've all got used to recruiting for parties in LS chat and using other means. Old habits die hard.

    Nope right there with you. :S

    edit: Would be nice if there was a visual clue like the flag from XI. (why do you not add useful stuff from XI and add stuff that wasn't so popular??)

    I couldn't figure it out. Maybe it's clear as crystal and it's just me, but I gave up.

    Basically it adds you to the party list as "Seeking Invite" so that people making parties can see you, as opposed to making a party seeking members.

    I've only seen JP users in the Party system, though :S

    Eh. I tried it once and managed to get a blind invite. Didn't turn out to be too bad. Anywho, I can't say I really have figured out to use it. Either there is literally no one ever seeking, or when I look for members I am doing it wrong.

    I use the system but it needs to take a hint from XI's and give a better comment box (with AUTO TRANSLATE functionality) as well as the ability to Search for all people who are flagged LFG by level range.

    I think the system is actually pretty good, just not quite good enough to get people to do anything outside of their LS, sadly

    i think its more complicated than it needs to be, even tho its not complicated at all. There should just be 1 button, in your menu that does Seek invite (oh yes like XI lol).

    and maybe have a icon for it for aesthetics (oh yes like XI)
