I was simply pointing out that not all comparisons are invalid when referring to basic mechanisms that worked in a previous version yet were mysteriously changed or corrupted into a non-working state.
This has nothing to do with any of the FFXI nostalgic driven players. At all. Party recruitment, if needing to be fixed, is a separate issue.

Also, I don't know if you know this, but party recruitment works. It's just not what the community likes. In fact, when this game launched and people started PTing to 50. Everyone used the party recruitment to gain members. Everyone. It was only when Tanaka changed the SP system that people stopped using it. The game, for a while, became Doblyn Fantasy XIV and party recruitment was long forgotten.

Now, does that mean it should stay the same? Not really. It could absolutely use some improvements, but it works. No one just thinks of starting a recruitment or checking to see if any are open.
