* In patch 1.20, online statuses will only be displayed on the player search screen, but as of FINAL FANTASY XIV version 2.0, online statuses will also be displayed in players’ display names.
I'm excited for the search function, and as I quoted above I'm glad this is planned, however, it would be nice that if a player is seeking a party that green icon would show up above their head. I always enjoyed that and it made pick up groups much faster.

Just the ideas of running a leve and seeing someone else running a leve with a seeking party flag set, with how I play, would have me form a party with that player, rather then leave them alone as I don't want to "bother" them.

Looking forward to the updates
