Parties are dead slow..

Shameless plug for anybody on Wutai wanting a active linkshell - http://cojenova.enjin.com/ff14news

Partys are not slow. The player base is simply not utilizing the search feature again. The biggest reason is because they don't know how or care to learn and use it.

Until they release the /sea all command it's going to be slower. Can't blame SE for people being lazy.

No, people are using the search feature. Sure, making it easier to use is always good, but that's not the problem; I always see a few searches, mostly for Ifrit / Moogle parties.

The real problem is that we have 300ish players per server, then there's like 30 of those doing endgame fights, 50 doing strongholds (once you get level 45 there's a party going on every time), 80 crafting / gathering, 130 afk and two guys shouting for party in Ul'dah hoping that the other 8 players have a class in their level range and are interested in leveling.

Yes, I'm pulling numbers out of my rear.

Yep doing GC leves IS great XP but as mentioned above 15 mins per leve gets REALLY boring BUT, it is an alternative.
Shame ur not on my server, the few people left in our LS are 47 Cnj and the rest 50 Cnj xD. You'd have no problem finding one of us on lol

I'm not sure what the leve names are. But there is one leve (I believe if you have the Rank Sergent Third Class) where you have to kill a specific target by "poking" the mob so it will "come out of hiding", pretty much a new version of the "find which one of the Dodo's is actually a Lady Bug" leve. This leve ends once you've completed the objective.

The "kill as many mobs as you can" leve is just like grinding with out a leve, only you get a exp bonus when the 15 minutes is up, and you can use Guardian Aspect.

Sure I can think outside the box and go for sub-par exp, but that should have to be the case.

It's a good thing you have tested thinking outside the box so thoroughly. THM and CNJ can get great exp solo.

[ninesunz]

I shout, and when no one joins I start calling people names in shout!

anyways i must admit:
1.) no one uses the damned search/seek function
2.) no one other than the Japanese know how to join a recruiting party

So you're telling me a CNJ solo, or THT solo will bring in more exp at let's say, level 40 then an 8 man party that goes from 40-50 in about 3 hours?

This is just 2 bullet post of ignorant assumption. I see tons of people on my server on the search list. They have nots i nthere like looking to XP my CNJ, or Pick me up to heal for ifrit party, or cofer key party please. I literally get 2-3 groups daily when I register or start a group and look for members to gab of the list.

This is an ignorant post about another person's experience on another server, had this person been on the same server his statements would be valid.

Whats ignorant is the fact that he said NO ONE then goes on to say NO ONE OTHER THEN THE JAPANESE.

Had he said on X sever, maybe I could buy that crap. He didn't. Since he and I are on the same server, I would have definently pointed out that 1-50 has 32 on there right now. Which is not even close to peak hours on my server. Those are facts. He made a crap false and ignorant assumption, then goes on to make a prejudice statement of bigotry.

I see it used, and know for a fact that people do use it, In vast amounts I might add. This proves that to claim "no one" uses is is a blatent lie. Then to go on and attempt to follow that up by making a falsly assumed statement of bigotry about the nationalities of who uses it (after claiming ignorantly that "no one" uses it) is laughable.

If you call the fact that I spoke against someone blatently posting lies and false information intentionally, as well as having an issue with there prejudice assumption of nationalities, then yes, I am clearly the ignorant one.

My hats off to you so be so bold as to stand up and support your fellow liars and bigots.

Oh really? Haven't found that one yet and I made Corporal for LL this weekend but was AFK for the entire Holiday season... so I'll have to look this one up. Thanks
