People will keep playing, if not being able to use that feature is an issue, then I feel and think more like that it is more a problem with the player, playing the game vs the game itself.

There is fellowships as an option and I wonder why no one really engaged themself into the use of these instead, they are quite valueable and you can easy enough get a message out to those people who is a member of whatever fellowship, as long as you do not cross anything that would conflict with the ToS.
As long as people don't break the ToS doing so, they can use the PF for anything they want, this is the clarification the community reps gave. Granted spam would count as breaking the ToS.

But from a roleplay perspective looking at the tools in game for looking for RP or for people to join RP, I see it as thus:

Fellowship Finder - a set of tools (which need improving) that can be used to form communities around certain themes or find groups of people who maybe interested in getting involved in RP. Just as it can be a useful tool for people to find statics, groups that focus on certain types of content or communities with certain demographics in mind and so on.
Party Finder - useful if you're running an RP right now or about to start running one. It's useful to bring more people in something public you're running or you might be somebody opening it up to see what open RP's could be going down. This wouldn't be spam because you're gathering people to join for a type of content.

For people who're spamming Party Finder with adds, like "Come to our Bar Thursdays at Mist Ward X Plot Y at 9pm EST" that they keep putting up even when it isn't starting or started, then yeah, I think that's ill use of the Party Finder.
