Long ago, players would grind tirelessly-- killing crabs, toucans and other squishy, non-threatening animals for the purpose of gaining experience, and later, limit points. When the time came for you to go to work, sleep, or your toes became too cold, you could always (not always) count on other players somewhere in the world who were flagged "LFG" waiting to replace you-- either fishing/crafting, farming for gil, or standing around complaining to their linkshell about how long they've been LFG... or so the legend says.
With the advent of Job Points, we are beginning to see a resurgence of the old 6-person exp-party. They are struggling, however. It can be difficult reaching enough people with /yell. I often find myself busy with something in my mog garden, or some area outside of /yell's reach, wondering what I might be missing. Today I thought, "what if I put my flag up?" I tired typing /sea all inv and was disappointed, but not surprised that no one else was seeking an invite. I wondered then if anyone would notice my LFG status in this day and age where it is no longer used.
Wouldn't it be kind of nice if we could do that again? It doesn't have to be just for CP parties, either. We could flag up and put whatever we like in our search comments. I think if enough people tried, without even expecting an invite, perhaps we could bring them back.
