This would include stuff like: who the players are in the party, the skill bar of the players in the party, and/or attributes of that player. In PvP outposts, all the skill and attribute information would only be available while the player is not in the party and when in a party, a limit of 1 minute from the last player join must be timed off before entering a battle so as not to "cheat" and not to possibly know the opponents skill bar and attribute points before entering. If you think 1 minute is to short to forget something, try remembering all possible skill bars of your alliance before you go into a battle and see if you can remember who was running which skill set, it is plenty of time to forget who was running what, although you will remember a few people's skill bar and possible attribute values.

Just a few ideas, but much can be expanded upon.

I dont mind suggesting ideas, but when someone uses the petition word they have to be carefull. Especially in this case.

Your "petitioning" to add features to an option and a facility which has ONLY just been introduced. Its still wet of the back.

Wheres the "thank you Anet for adding this huge improvement and facility. A facility which helps find and form parties, and ALSO works as a trading facility...." and then "oh, but can I suggest this...."

You dont jump straight into, "I want this now, Im petitioning" otherwise it comes off as slightly ungratefull!

But anyway, after the hand slap...

...I have no doubt Anet will continue to add and improve the party search feature. Its had about 2 or 3 improvements in just the month that its existed.

As for adding more information to the display information. I dont have anything against that. But you have to consider the amount of space they have to work with.

Cramming individual player information onto such a small area is risky. It can make reading a list hard and irrotating. The less direct information which you can see the better.

What they can do though, is add an "extra informaton" button to display more information about a party. To include the information you mentioned.

Or if you hold you mouse over a party formation advert, it will list all the players, their profession and what ever else.

/signed at more information

/signed at needing to reword your title a bit

I say petition in the means of getting a sign or nosign towards the fact of having more features for it. I'd personally like to see more information added, but that doesn't mean it will or that other people want it. I'm not demanding anything, as I never once said anything about me wanting anything now in the original post. I was suggesting ideas towards what more information could be added if they would add more information to the party search.

I guess I could have used the word Poll instead, but that would have been miss-leading to people, as they would have probably been looking for a poll with options. Not looking at a suggestion thread with getting approval for or against something.
