I have noticed that is has gotten MUCH harder to get into a lower level party lately... When there is a healer seeking, there is no tank seeking, when there is a tank seeking, there is no healer seeking, or most people are just AFK, or simply don't want to party.
I have been thinking about this, and its getting harder to level low level jobs, as you just cant simply find a party. Soloing is slow as hell to do, and sometimes you just don't make any prgress, you sometimes loose progress if things aren't going well.
Well, I have thought about a solution to this... Henchmen! If you ever played guild wars, you would have an idea of what I am thinking about.
Henchmen will be NPCs that you can invite to your party. Only one of each job henchmen, and their level is the level of the highest party member. When you engage something, so will they. You can control them, as they will follow you around, unless you tell them to stay put in a certain area, and can even tell ones to pull, such as target a mob, and say "NPC name [Fish] <t>." It will go out, look for one, grab it, and come back to camp with it, and the party will operate like a normal party. Just not as great as regular players, as it will only go out and grab another target only after the first one has died, and will even go out if the healer has no Mp, unless you tell them to wait using the translate function.
Well, this is just an idea, and I was thinking it would make gathering a party easier. And you can only have three henchmen in a party at any time, so you cant just gather 5 of them, and leech off of them while you go work, or go to sleep.
