Can SE change this system so you can form an alliance with any other party lead, regardless of how full either party is? This is frustrating us and likely to ruin the whole night if we don't find a good solution.
If you went in and set up PF style, choosing an alliance raid should automatically put you into a 3 linked parties set up. If you dont want randos messing this part up, set up as a private party. Put your people in whichever groups you like, then when youre set you can hit the que and you should be matched with random people to fill the remaining slots.
