Can we change "Looking for Party" to "Recruiting for Party"

[Tigerlilley]

"Looking for party" suggests that person is looking to join a party, not that they have created one for others to join. It's confusing and I see many people feeling they need to clarify what their links are for.

Edit: I am referring to the <pfinder> function in game.

Actually a good idea though it's a suggestion that probably should be placed in the Localization sub forum.

"Recruiting party members" might be better still.

But what about the people who are there to join a party? They're not creating one but looking for one.
Besides, someone creating a party is basically Looking for people to party with.

"I'm gonna look for people to do X with"

Recruiting works as well however.
I just think personally that "Looking" works both ways, as a recruiter and someone trying to find a group.

I'd rather keep it as is. LFP / LFM is pretty universal among MMO nowadays and make it easy for newcommers to the game to understand.
Although, it wouldn't take long to learn the suggested name either.

This is referring to when you use <pfinder> in chat to advertise your Party Finder.

Most people see "Looking For Party (Name)" in the chat box and assume that person is looking for a party, when in fact they are inviting you to join their's.

The result is that a lot of people don't join your party, especially new players, until you clarify that by clicking it they can join your party. It's not obvious and it's not intuitive.

Could also change LFP into what it sounds like; let you place yourself on a list of players who are looking for a party, and let people who are building a PF group shop through them all and send out invites.

Exactly this. I see it all the time in the hunt trains. A new player will ask for a group, several people link a "Looking for Party" link and the new player will still be saying, "guys? anyone have room for me? guys?"
