    I just want to play roulette from time to time with adequate motivation.

    I want to earn some gil with battle job. You know, "playing however I want". The gil is obviously dominated by crafting and some cheese I despise doing for reasons including "in-character". Currently I farm fates for gemstone vouchers. I know there's a couple of other ways with battle jobs to earn decent gil, but all of them quite repetitive or require extensive party planning with not that great of output.

    In contrast I like roulettes - various duties and automated matching. But utterly low rewards not respecting your time and efforts even as a "Role In Need". And gods forbid to cut "Adventurer' Guild" out of the deal - you risk to be banned out of existence.

    I wish to play more roulettes from time to time - why I want to offer queing for roulettes with me (tank) in Party Finder for "an additional stimulation". And moving aside "nobody will pay for it" or "I will do it for free" talks. Is it absolutely direct violation of ToS (the one about offering help in PF)? It might depend on wording ...or not. If I specify that I am not selling a clear, does it makes the difference? Because it sure does as advertisement. And it's not particularly "work around rules" - what a joke is selling a clear or help in normal roulette duties? More like "Will play roulettes with you as a tank for 100 000 gil/roulette."

    I understand first of all it's about a policy put in by the game developer to combat things. But here we are with almost whole Roulette tab crying for blue guys whole days and me solo farming fates.

    Gil is damn near meaningless in this game, your accumulate so much of it passively and there is nothing you can spend it on anyway you really don’t need to be going for massive Gil

    Regardless thousands of people do roulettes per day, tanks and healers aren’t that rare, there is little incentives to give actual meaningful Gil rewards to such basic needs as that functionally just speeds up the currency inflation

    If you want combat ways to make a lot of money try something like field content, field content is literally dripping in valuable items you can get in combat

    Eureka not so much beside particular things and those desolve completely in tries, time and effort.
    Bozja is quite competitive on marketboard and again, will get repetitive really quick.

    I think it's against the rules because normally when someone offers this service they don't mean gil like they claim, or they still have an RMT-related intention with it.

    It is allowed for someone to make a PF and say "I want help with this duty and I will pay gil for it" though.

    I'll just say this: if what you were proposing was even a moderately effective way to make gil, then you'd already know it because there would be plenty of people advertising their services. But you don't see those ads, and that's your answer.

    The outmost reason more likely is how close to border if not inside of prohibited activity that operation is. And in reality I just wanted to spice things a bit from time to time if I get lucky and enjoy unusual role-play interaction between mercenary and employer (so much for role play game and its systems, right?). And there's actually a solid chance that someone will be willing to throw 100k out of their hundreds of millions gil just for gigles or for a bit faster que times (which speaking with all honesty might not be such a bit).
