Allow party seeking with multiple jobs?
What's the possibility of allowing players to set seek party status for more than one of their jobs (using an on/off setting similar to the chat filter configuration)?

Simply having a search comment stating that I also have Black Mage at level 37, or Red Mage at 18 that I would also like to level really doesn't do me much good as I'm seeking a party with my level 62 White Mage.

If players could set seek party status for more than one job party leaders looking for specific job types could have a wider selection to choose from. Likewise players looking for a party could potentially reduce their wait time by broadcasting their availability to a wider group of party leaders.

Re: Allow party seeking with multiple jobs?
I can tell you already the Table setup and implimentation would be some major work. Not to mention the total chaos that could happen if they do something stupid, then also the cluttered space of having to add more data to that search window to display what the player is looking for a party with which jobs they have.

There's a reason the 3rd party development places charge $1,450 an hour to do that type of work.

Eh .... I don't know SE's data schema, so I can't make a comment on the difficultly, but the table modification required could be from nil to major. UI implications are minor.
