The current find/setup party system is great

[Krausus]

People dont use it . So yes we NEED it.

the Issue isnt the system it is you, Im pretty sure we talked quite a bit about this on core where you stated you had never seen it used nor had you used it. And again you are trying to take the approach of elitist where somehow you have this nagging fear that some idiot is going to join your party and the server is gonna blow up because of it.

People dont PUG NMs, and any idiot can function well in a grind party. This game isn't rocket science not any one person is going to have such a great effect on any group that you have to be so damn picky. Quit trying to use worse case scenarios that will probably never happen as a basis for argument.

Took you long enough to personal attack me because i dont share your opinion.
if you dont like what people have to say then block me.But im not gonna listen to your rambling of how much you hate me without anything to bring to the debate.

First ,this isnt core .If you like it so much you are free to go post there.
Second, get the lance off your ass.I have my opinion and i will continue to speak it off without some retard like you come and say my opinion is less valid because i play like an elitist (wich i dont)
And get to 50 already , i think you been stuck there for months.

He didn't personally attack you. He brought attention to your hypocrisy. A party-creating function exists, and just because you choose to not use it, doesn't make it bad.

And I'm really confused as to how you can possibly use the excuse that you don't want to use it because you might get a bad player... with the /sea all function in FFXI, you could get bad players all the time. ANY TIME you pug you have the chance of getting bad players.

So instead of straw-manning the discussion, how about you address the issue?

Now, all that being said, I agree they should add a /sea function. The current party search system works, if people use it. But adding a /sea function will only make the game better. As it is now, Leaders rely on players to join their party... a search function would also allow Leaders to actively recruit people. There is no reason not to have a /sea function.

Though, I have a feeling that if/when it's added, people will find that the true reason that people aren't using the party function at the moment is because they're soloing. Most of the people that group up only do it for leves or with their LS. So even though a /sea function will be useful, I don't think it will change much.

The statement(s) that this system is bad because you can't use it is completely biased and shows your lack of intelligence. There are many instructional videos about this system, one of them being mine. It's not hard to understand and is actually quite easy and fun to use. I prefer it over the party flag of 11, but I do wish that this system had a better way of finding people that were searching for a party...such as an icon or a /sea all invite or something.

Also, here's the link to my vid...again, so that no one can say "I don't know how to use it." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soOp-7DCmBs

Im not gonna bother since you guys seems to miss the point.
Only a hand full in denial keep saying is used.Well okay keep thinking that.
You think i find flaws on this system because im elitist or because im to stupid to understand how it works ?.
Some people really should get a clue.
I can tell you 100% certain we WILL GET A FLAG TYPE of party sea eventually . WHY? Idk , maybe because the current one is crap?.But no , everythin about this game is fine ! we must praise this half assed mechanic till the end of time.is just that devs think is so great that they will put one that actually works because all the free time they got , not because is needed.
have fun with this broken party system.

I would like to be able to seek a party on one job and be on another instead of being afk standing around waiting for an invite. I could be off doing some DoH/DoL work while I wait.

lol and you completely refuse to watch the tutorials on the system to show YOU, the ignorant one, how to use the damn thing. It IS used, just not by a whole lot of people because about...99% of the players don't understand how to use it lol, you, obviously, being one of them. If you don't like the system, fine, but it's really not bad and if you think it is, then you don't have to use it and you really don't have to play this game =)

You smart , everyone else dumb .

Not everyone, just the idiots who bash the system, due to lack of knowledge and understanding, and refuse to even learn about it. Example: You.

Way to completely miss the point.

Please , you are saying people dont use it because they are to stupid to understand it ?
Speak about arrogance.
