There's a large elephant in the room that people seem to be ignoring. It's not necessarily the difficulty that's the problem here.

It's the ability to form parties.

Why are we soloing even though the mobs are more difficult, and we get more exp in a party? Because getting a party together outside a linkshell is a righteous pain in the ass. Shouting, shouting, and more shouting. And since shouting can only be heard in one specific area, there's no guarantee that you'll reach the people that would actually want to party with you. For all you know they're probably out soloing. I mean who'd want to wait in Ul'dah for someone else to start shouting?

And NOBODY checks the party search feature. And even if they did, they'd have to be very specific in their searching or a result won't show. That coupled with no global searching and no party invite flags leave many of us without a linkshell or high level job stranded. Just try to form a level 15 party for Shposhae. Go on, try it.

you have right but don't forget that the game is in revamp mode everyday they are trying to fix things so we must wait everyone that coming to FFXIV must know that he is gonna a play a ''beta'' game, a game that is in revamp mode ...so if he find a good Linkshell to join i m sure that he will find a lot of other players to group ...like me

do You think that SE doesn't know about the party search system ?

everyone needs something
more armors more jobs better battle system ...more mobs ...mailing system ...AH etc

they allready know it (many post in the lodestone and in the live at 4 oct ) we must also know that is in revamp state they already know what we don't like ...they work for us and they are trying to keep us here...but also they are humans....not robots ...if we want we can't find a way to play with others if we can't then lets find another game until the game is like the way we want

the players of ffxiv has two options ...they are staying and play the game with every patch ( htey give time to devs ) ...or they know that the game is not ready for them and before feel bored ,they are leaving for another game until the FFXIV is ready if after long time they don't care anymore about ffxiv then actually never care about it and never understood really that the game was in revamp mode ...

thats the truth for us and for the Devs
