Make Player Search require some progress in the main questline

[Bixillarla]

How many new players actually use the feature though? Lock it behind a point in time where people just start considering using it and it won't hinder much at all. Also unless we get an option to flat-out refuse party invites without sacrificing receiving tells all we can do is find ways to delay the bots in hopes it becomes too much bother for them and they give up that method.

Plenty use it to meet people on other servers, they create an alt and look them up to talk to them. Would hinder this if they have to do story to be able to use the search function.
