Please use the seek party flag!

So I'm getting the feeling that no one noticed that they added a seek party option to the party menu in 1.18 as dozens of adventurers are still shouting in Ul'dah yet no one has a flag up.

Please start using the party recruitment interface. It really isn't that hard.

To seek a party:

Go to Party -> Recruit -> Set purpose to Seek Party

Add a message/note to let recruiters know what you're looking for in a party.
Wait to be invited.

To find others seeking a party:

Go to Party -> Search -> Set purpose to Seek Party

Invite those seeking a party

To set up a recruitment for a party:

Go to party-> Recruit -> Select purpose -> Select Location-> Set conditions -> add a note/message

If the purpose for the party is a quest, mission or dungeon you can select which quest , mission or dungeon using the drop-down box underneath the Select Purpose box.

Setting Conditions is where you set which jobs and what levels you are accepting into your party.

You may leave purpose and conditions set to "any" and just type out what you're looking for in the message section.

Wait for people to join your party.

To join a recruitment:

Go to Party-> Search -> Set Conditions for the type of party you're looking for

If you keep conditions set to "any", all parties will show.

Join a party you feel suits your needs.

By using the recruitment interface, you're able to search for a party or recruit for a party from anywhere in Eorzea. This means you can be out doing leves while recruiting and not hanging around Ul'dah shouting. You can be in Gridania crafting while looking for a party to do quests around Limsa.

Please use it. It will help the community out in the long run. ll it takes is a few minutes to get familiar with it to give you a better gaming experience in the long run.

I really hope this helps people get acquainted with the party menu. It really isn't that hard once you take the time to look at it.

I think most people are just intimidated by all the drop down boxes. If they scare you, just ignore them and continue through the recruitment process.

I don't get how it's cumbersome. It really isn't that hard and if everyone used it, finding parties would be so much faster.

If you ever played FF11, you would find the current party creation tools to be extraordinarily cumbersome.

Then I am truly boggled.

I'm going to start using it. I do hope they simplify it, though.

Do you have to reset it if you change jobs?

Finally. People acknowledge the existence of this useful function.

The current seek party function SUCKS. Bring back the basic flag system where you can search for the level range of players you're looking for with with a text command.

And I hope they will... but for now that's what we have, and I wish people would use it despite the suckage. >:
