    Kudos.

    The problem isnt the system, its the players. There is already a party flag function in the game, if you use search you can search by ppl that are flagged as "seeking party". The only difference, and its a minor one, is that it doesnt physically pop up over your head. So what? It doesn't need to lol.

    Really ppl just need to lrn2usesearch.

    People need to learn to search, yes, and this feature supports that need.

    A major upside of having a seeking flag above your head, is that it draws attention to the seek and search systems, which otherwise (i.e. currently) get completely overlooked. There's a ton of people out there that don't use the search system due to just not being aware of its utility. This feature would help to increase awareness and spark curiosity.

    It's really intuitive... And if I find something confusing, I look for information. First on the Lodestone, then my friends, then Forums. It's not SE's fault that people are braindead.

    Regardless, I've been for a visible flag since the patch that came didn't have it. In fact, I made a thread about it a few days after it was released and nobody even glanced at it. But when your position is just one of blind demanding, then you deserve to be corrected. Thoroughly.
