There actually isn't anything wrong with the party menu, people are just either too stupid to know how to use it or too lazy to want to go through all the menus.

In actuality the search function makes sense. The game is built around grouping for guildleves and it's set up so you can search for people who want to do that specifically, and also what camp they have leves for. The only problem I have with the menu is that you have to search for specific classes. I feel that is unnecessary and it's just an extra annoyance to go through when making a group.

I honestly think people would use it more if it was simpler. Just make it so we can toss up a party flag and wait, or just search for people in a certain level range. We don't honestly NEED all these other menus, most people have just searched for/as Purpose: none and Location: none then worked out what to do in group chat anyway.
