Ongoing concern with content selling in party finder

Honestly. Who cares if some people spent hours and hours perfecting their skills and getting comfortable clearing content to the point they can sell clears and titles to willing people. Good on them. Not condoning the ego padding of those buying but yeah. It's also really obvious who bought what the second they enter any similar content, I've seen it.

I would much rather focus on getting rid of bots as they can genuinely be disruptive.

With the ability to properly blacklist ads in the PF with 5.1, SE has given you an answer: RMT for content sales is fine as long as specifics are kept outside of the game.

Introducing: The Reason why no Achievement or Title gets taken seriously in this Game.
The first thing going on in my head when i see someone with ultimate titles is: "Wonder how much he paid for that."

They should just come down hard to all ad's in PF.
From RMT clears to static recruitment.

I will never get why people are actually spending money on this. 1) You pay a lot of money just to get a stage cleared in a videogame without feeling like you actually accomplished anything, 2) you get a title and a glamour weapon you can wear but very time you look at it you also damn well know that you didn't earned it and 3) you can't even feel special about it because with so many dudes already have cleared it noone really cares anymore.

To be fair, some of the ultimate weapons are super nice glamours, regardless of the fact they're tied to ultimate (especially most of the Ultima weapon ones, considering the base models are THE original relic weapons and have a ton of symbolism.). If they're in it for the glamour, they probably don't care or have any sort of guilt about buying it & not earning it, they just want the shiny cool as heck weapon, regardless of how others perceive them. And much like in other facets of life, if they're willing to put money down on it, chances are they're at a point where they value their time more than the cost of what these people are charging for it. Why do you think mobile games usually have a few people spending $1000's of dollars on microtransactions that save them time? Same thought process.

People simply value their money differently.

I’m assuming they didn’t mean all static recruitment just the ones that try to get at the top of the list and flood PF by listing under roulletes

So right now there’s two Expert Roullete mislisted for clear selling PFs that have the same exact Discord listed, this should clearly count as spam, right?

It happens because people insist on buy it. It is like any other thing. Sellers will no exist if no one buy clears. And people who buy clears exist because this community gives too much credit to people who clear specific things. "Oh, look at that, I'm sure is a top player, his opinion probably is better than mine". I run to a lot of players who think they know more than others for having X thing cleared. And people want to be in that group. So they buy clears to have that title and have an opinion. Same for FFlogs sells (that happen too). You cannot have any opinion if you're not orange/purple. I've seen this a lot in this forum. When someone says they don't like/want FFlogs usually people come with the "I see why you don't want it, you're grey" argument. So, buy FFLogs run, become orange, you now can argue.

So, to be honest, maybe I'm wrong, but people is concerned about titles and have good image just because community is giving too much credit to certain things. Honestly, I doubt they do it for glamour.

For me? A Ultimate Legend is the same as a Sprout as a person. They are not superior beings which better opinion than me just because they have a title and a weapon.
