Nobody uses the search function still?

This is off topic, but...

Get some decent gear, take your earth spell/spells and nuke the daylights out of cactuar west of horizon.

There is a group of lvl 20ish ones that you can probably chain. When those suck for xp, there is a high group of lvl 27-29 ones further west. I was doing the 27-29 ones last night on my 23 CNJ and i got 27 in a couple hours. You can easily get chain 4s.

Set the THM ability to cure yourself when you use your next attack spell, set the pugilist second wind and featherfoot ability and just earth, earth, earth.

I know it doesn't solve your party problem, but it is much faster xp than solo leves.

How about letting the auto-translate function work in the search comment? I mean do they want JPs and NAs to play together or not?

[Yumi_Hibiki]

this community is either too stupid/lazy or has a severe case of "read the fucking manual"

its even on the lodestone...on the front page...whats so hard about clicking on game guide>playing with others>search?

its explained so foolproof even a 10 year old would understand it...

Because everyone under level 25 is too busy shouting for a power level

If they made power leveling slower than an EXP party (I mean, it IS less work) then you would see a lot more people searching out EXP parties

I'm waiting for them to implement text commands for the party search, which is soon. Without text commands it was awful, I'm not an old person who has to click through menus in order to do something with a computer program, text commands are always better/quicker in my opinion. A /sea all, and such really is needed to help improve the usability of the search feature, at least in my opinion and many of the opinions of my friends.

The problem is most of the community are 50s now. In a MMO you have the newbs and the "can't make up my mind yet" crowd that allows you to generally find a party at all level ranges.

1) There are very few newbs joining the game(just came across one recently to my surprise).

2) Most have already leveled multiple jobs to 50ish which is why you don't see a party until around 30+

The fact on how many buttons you have to press is hardly the issue. The game is much better to play compared to before(and going to be much better tomorrow) but that doesn't change the issue FFXIV still have.

The lack of people playing.

[Wirritosama]

I use it all the time got some invites From it several times also but I have used it and found nothing

I use it almost every day and never get an invite ..

Like I asked in the interface sub forum we need a tutorial for first time users of the search feature (an in game one)

Expecting people to go to the lodestone to read 100's of different topics is not going to work, people are too lazy.

Unless SE force people to go through a Tutorial they won't grasp it or even know its there.

say hello to JP and oceanic communities, we use search function daily. It is useable, people just never tries to use it or gives up after one time.

Um dude you are using the old one.

[Chardrizard]

Um dude you are using the old one.

What are you talking about? they serves different purposes.

Old one is for people to join in by themselves, new one is for you to search through people and send them tell.
