The new seek invite function

[Zhinse]

Would be easiest if you could use the Recruit to find seeking players. There should be 3 things:

1)A PT Recruit post, describing PT info like level range, what its purpose is, and all that in a comment box. Also a category to sort them like raid, exp, leves, whatever.

2)A seeking PT list of players searching for a type of PT. You should be able to post yourself up on some type of list under categories for seeking what you want to do.

3)Some type of class organization thing, so you can view lists based on what you want to see, not what job you are looking as. For instance if I have THM at 50, and CON at 25, I don't want to not be able to see the CON PTs just because I am on my 50 THM or looking through 50 THM stuff.

All of those things exist in the current party search system.

I'm not going to go over how the Recruitment feature works normally but will go over the new functionality.

For the Person Seeking Party.

1. Go to Party > Recruit> and set purpose to "Seek invite"
2. In the comment box, say what you want to do and other misc. information.
3. Click on the confirm button or whatever.
4. What this does is add you to a list similar to FFXI, except its worldwide instead of region locked.

For the Leader looking for members.

1. Go to Party>Search> and set purpose to "Seek invite".
2. Most important step, Go down to the class (it defaults on gladiator) and put it to the class you want to recruit. Set it to gladiator if you want a gladiator, Marauder if you want marauders.
3. Press Search.
4. The results will show all players of that specific class who are seeking invites.
5. If you manage to find anyone using the system, i'm jealous

With the Seek Invite functionality, Party Leaders can now put up a regular recruitment as a revenue for players to join and also head hunt while he's doing it. The seeker can seek invite and also search for open party recruitment.

Here are my list of features and changes that would improve the system.

• Visual Seek Invite flag that appears next to the name of the seeker, similar to FFXI.
• A new visual hud element that shows how many party leaders have open recruits. The number displayed could be either how many total are searching or how many that you can join specfically
• Allow Party leaders to select "no class" or "all classes" to show all avialiable seekers, not limiting the list to a specific class.

Visuals communicate. The only reason why the system doesn't get results now is because people ignore and disregard it, believe that other people ignore and disregard it, are confused about the functionality, and do not believe it actually functions. Visuals would make people aware of it, and the biggest thing the system needs. I hope that the suggestions I have made as a person who consistently tries to use the current system are reachable under the current development circumstances.
