    Suggestion: add a Party Finder icon for "synced" (non-undersized) parties

    When using Party Finder for duties from previous expansion packs, players tend to assume that Undersized Party ("unsynced") will be used, even when that option is not selected in the Recruitment Criteria. This causes uncomfortable situations for people trying to form parties for level synced duties, especially when the party is almost full and people often join without reading the description fully. It's also hard to reconcile in cross-language scenarios.

    Please add a separate icon for level synced parties in the same slot, but visually distinct from, the undersized party icon.

    There isn't need to, because anyone serious should read the description. But also level-sync is the default way to queue for any duty, and undersized requires setting off the checkbox before queuing a duty. If anything people make the mistake for queuing level-sync more often than not.

    There already are icons for it.

    There's 4 of them to the right of the party list in the party finder menu. The boxes fill with icons based on what options you set when recruiting. Undersized, minimum ilevel. loot master, greed only, Etc

    If undersized isn't select, they should assume it's synced even though they don't.

    There is an icon for Minimum Item Level, which is close enough, but people actually still mistake it for an undersized party.

    People do not read icons. People do not read descriptions. They just don't read and the confusion will always happen, because 99% of the community undersizes old content and that's all they know.

    Going to be honest; if someone is blind enough to join a PF without reading the description, they're also the type of person that will not check for an icon either.
