Curse

When in an Alliance Battle area (and many other areas), I request a "party-join" to all parties in the district which consists of 2/3 members. To do this, I have to click on the little Man Icon with the number next to it, then click add. The problem is, when many people are bunched up, trying to click the little man is a mission in itself! As people move (or even stand still) the names of people seem to stack on top of each other, which causes the Man Icon to move around, as well as the name of the person who has the icon above them. As a result, I often find myself click all over the place but missing the man as it moves. This causes my character to run to wherever I clicked on top of it all.

I request a feature be added to the party menu that lists all parties in the district under a new tab, much like the Henchmen and Heros tabs. Full parties should not be included on this list. As a result, people can simply press "P," select the tab and click to join any available parties. This would save much time, and could speed up the process for pick up groups. If a party wants to specifically request certain people, they can use the "Seek Party" feature and their name would be removed from this new tab, so as not to create confusion. I know many Kurzicks have been complaining about having to wait quite some time for Luxons to form parties...so anything would help! This could also increase the usage of the currently underused feature.

I understand that people may not want random invitations, but this wouldn't create much more a problem than there is now. The little Man Icon is there, so adding this feature won't be creating the problem, as it is already there. I'm sure it can't be such a bad thing having a larger group of people requesting to join your party as it allows you to pick a profession that will work best with your current party members' profession.

Sorry if this has been suggested before, but I didn't find anything relating to this in my search results. What do you guys think?

Click on the party members number icon? Never tried that. I just click on the character model. Much easier.

You can also target them by using the 'enemy' taget methods: Ctrl and Tab.

Althought it0s true that would help finding party, I think that would help to to those already forming parties (i.e. a bunch of players waiting for a guildie) getting asked when they do not want invitations much more often.

Maybe adding a 'do not accept invitations' chechbox in that panel should fix that.
