From what I've gathered the goal is to put a more streamlined party system in place, and the current is just placeholding til 2.0 comes out? If that's the case, I hope they switch that around. I much prefer the surgical precision of search/send tell to the shotgun blast method of advertise and see what responds.

I'll agree at the current it doesn't appear it'll be an issue. But we also have a small selection of classes/jobs to choose from. I'm sure if FFXIV winds up with 20 jobs like XI did, depending on how skillchains and regimens turn out, there might be similar things to consider. At the end of the day it probably won't matter to me. I rarely lead parties in games anymore. I did it so much in FFXI that I actively avoid the role if at all possible.
