    I think the issue is using duty finder-roulette to advertise things that aren't roulette. Most savage/ultimate tend to advertise in savage/ultimate duties anyways. But DF roulette always puts you at the top of the screen, which is why people use it for other things. The only real objection to it is when its used for run selling. People looking for statics usually check the savage pfs anyways.

    In regards to the whole thing though... each time this topic comes up (specially when it comes to the whole selling-part), I wonder: Is this really hurting you? Is this really hurting anyone?
    people don't want any adverts for cross server run selling, because the gil limits when transferring and lack of trading in instance means its probably paid for via rmt of some kind. As for hurting...well players selling ultimate runs tarnished that in my eyes, because you wonder what else they do if they are willing to do that.

    I wasnt talking so much about the run-selling itself here, but about the advertisments in PF that are listed somewhat wrong.

    Is it hurting you when you open the PF and see a listing under "Expert roulette" thats actually an FC looking for new members?
    Personally: Its not hurting me - its just another party I wont join for reasons. As I explained: I'm not under the impression that the majority of PF-listings turned into false advertisment (which would make the PF useless) and I also dont believe that thats whats coming for us. There will be a couple of semi-wrong* listings that you'll just skip just how you skip that Byakko-group thats looking for a tank when you want to heal.

    *semi-wrong: I'm using that because of the whole static-argument I made before. A FC thats recruiting via Expert-roulette might be very well intrested in doing that content together - even if maybe not now. A static looking for a member will eventually do the raid they put up the PF for. Technically you could even say that the sellers will do the content they put up the PF for... if you pay them. Has anyone ever tried to buy an expert roulette?

    Runselling though is one of the uses of that. There's also stuff like people using it to advertise their twitch streams or other things. Its not annoying or hurting much because not many people do it. But for runselling, yeah, they do need to do something about that.
