    [dev1213] Player Search: Allow Multiple Preferred Classes PT Seeking *Feature Request

    EXISTING UI:
    Players who are seeking party select only one preferred class from a drop down.
    PROPOSED UI:
    Please add the ability to check a radio button next to each class you would like to mark as a preferred class, instead of only choosing one in a drop down.

    EXISTING UI:
    It is stated in the notes, levels for each class are shown when you view another player, where the current class icon is a different color.
    PROPOSED UI:
    I propose to mark this same UI such that (multiple) preferred class also show a different color or border.

    EFFECT:
    Party seeker shows on search results initiated by a party seeking a LV30 PUG and a different party seeking a LV45 THM.

    BENEFITS:
    1] Players are up front with what class they are willing use in a party. Reduces discussion stress:
    *PartyLeader: "I see you have CON45, are you wanting to play that even though I see you marked GLA45 as preferred?"
    *PossibleResponseA: "Sure, I wanted to mark them both as my preferred class but I could not."
    *PossibleResponseB: "No I want to level GLA! Why does everyone always want my CON?! I wish I could show that I don't want to rank CON, but I can't since people just assume I would have marked it as a preferred class but was not able to"
    2] Reduces party wait time exponentially by showing on multiple search results.
    3] Rewards and encourages players to be versatile and play multiple classes in a game that is built on that idea.

    WORKAROUND:
    Search comment usage is an acceptable workaround, assuming the party finds your player in search results at all. Currently, I think searching for seeking players only returns results for preferred classes, not potential classes.

    Would be good for a further refinement of the player search feature in the future.

    Most players have a variety of options they want when it comes to content (different classes at different levels that they are interested in leveling, raid parties, etc)

    Restricting your player flag to only one option is too restrictive.
