The current find/setup party system is great

[Kaedan]

Allow me to use an analogy to explain to you what you just said to me:

I've been drinking coffee using a mug made by Company X. Now Company X having made mugs before, makes a new mug, out of molten lava (stay with me here) and expects me, the consumer not knowing that this is what the company is now making mugs out of, to use said mug with the same comfort that I have experienced using mugs made by them in the past.

I'm all for adding a /sea function, but this "analogy" was just so bad, I had to correct it.

I'll try to help: Ever seen the movie Demolition Man? Stalone is used to using toilet paper when he's in the bathroom. He goes into the toilet and comes out a minute later saying, "There's no toilet paper." And the others laugh at him and say, "He doesn't know how to use the 3 sea shells?"

THAT is a good analogy for this situation. Stalone is unaware of how to properly use the system in place. It doesn't mean the system is necessarily bad, it just means he's ignorant of how it works. And just like his co-workers, some people choose to make fun of him instead of helping.

But in this case, there is a person helping, and he's added a tutorial (and I'm fairly certain there's an explanation in the game somewhere). So at this point it's just ludicrous for people to be b****ing.

However, I do support adding the /sea system AS WELL. It not only will compliment a the party system, but it can be used for purposes other than making a party as well. There's no reason we can't have both.

I haven't been in a PT outside of organized LS or behest / guildleve PTs.

Have they fixed the "You're too far away from the PT leader" = not able to claim mob / no sp issue yet?

If they have thumbs up!

If they haven't that features is ridiculous! I'm all for grouping, either seeking PT or seeking members, however while the PT is being build I (as a joining PT member) want to "do my own thing" until the PT is ready to go.

As far a seeking PT. We should have options to seek on multiple jobs. Just the same as a PT leader can request open enrollment of multiple jobs.

Just put a box next to each job you want to seem, put a check mark in the boxes you want to seek on. THen a PT leader can do a /sea all "X" job. If you happen to be wanting to SP Gladiator but are currently playing Conjurer that PT leader can send you a tell.

Keep the current PT finder, but add a "by invite only" option for PT leaders (do they have this? it's been a long time since i've used to recruiting function). If you're PT is by invite only make it searchable still, that way you can send a /tell to the leader and say "hey I'm a R42 Glad, can I join" and then it's to the PT leaders discretion, if they want/need that player to join.
