Hey, YOU, Non-search user still shouting first. STOP IT

[UnrealTai]

You people saying to ignore shouts are being retards. No one said shouting annoyed anyone.

It was said search should be used BEFORE shouting or at the very least WITH shouting.

Problem is 75% of the playerbase being too acustomed to old ways and acting like Sheep about using search waiting for the wolf to show them the way.

If your sitting here saying to turn shouts off, your a sheep for following post number 2. Cause no one said anything about not using shout all together. Topic was "first". And even if first at the very least use search ALSO. When party leaders shout for 30 minutes when 3 people are in search asking for it the party leader comes off looking a little brainless.

Meh, I've seen people shout, but have had no problems getting groups with the search function. Each time I've "used" the search function I've ended up with a group in about 15-25 minutes, so people are at least using it on Rabanastre. People shout for very specific functions though, and generally the shouts I see are all for level 50 events like Darkhold runs, Ifrit, Moogle, Strongholds. I haven't really seen low level group shouts since the search function came up.

What you, my friend, need to understand is that currently auto-translate is not available in the search function. Because of this, yes it is more efficient to shout for groups, because there are things you can't get across in the search function yet.

Honestly, until this game has a population that can support a random dungeon finder, you'll always see shouts. It will simply be more convenient.

Using shout over search annoys me

You're freaking out over something that isn't even a serious issue. Calm down.

-80 points for using a made up statistic.
-150 for your/you're error.

"Turn your shout filter on if it bothers you so badly. "

^ This is exactly the type of thinking I'm talking about. You clearly don't understand the reason behind the post. And will probably continue to use shout cause of it.

Shouting does not annoy me. Using shout over search annoys me because it promotes old ways that were complained about by almost everyone having to stand in uldah for a party. Now we have a way out of it and everyone continues to shout first and ignore search all together. What happened to all the people that wanted search before ?

How do I know they're ignoring search? Because of forum posts and the way every party leader except a JP one I have been in since the update all shout with 3-4 people listed in search asking to do that who will never know about the shout because they're off doing their thing far far away expecting the search feature to work. Its better, we dont have to sit around. So open it up and please start getting a feel for it???????? We don't have to sit in one spot for 5 hours anymore so if you stop promoting this to be used "first" at the very least.......... Party leader your in shouting? See 3 people in search asking to do what the party is for? Tell the leader hes being retarded and send a tell....

quoting dis

use the search features and then shout bros it's A Good Idea

You realize you tried to say those conflict with each other but clearly don't if you re-read them.

"People aren't playing the game the way I want them to! Everyone that doesn't do what I say is a sheep! BAAWWWWW! BAWWWW!"

Seriously, QQ moar, plz.

[UnrealTai]

The point of the topic is to start showing party leaders how to use it correctly. It's obvious from observing behavior its not being used because they don't understand it even though its easy if they stop and look at the feature for 5 minutes.

Party leaders and members alike would probably like to find what they're looking for as fast as possible..

[Estellios]

I shout while using the party search to find the random 1-2 members we need for Ifrit.

I would also recommend that everyone put up search comments so I know if you're up for doing Ifrit or not =P
