Can you guarantee that?
Are you sure they advertise?
I have heard of quite a few people who don't bother advertising because people broadcast that they are looking. They just invite and don't work too hard at it.
People are lazy. Many don't like to lead and many don't like to broadcast.
You can't control everyone. You just got to do what you are willing to do and hope somebody else is not a jerk.
Not everybody is in the zone all at the same time to see the first message.
How stupid a comment?
They repeat a message so that "new log-ins and zone-ins" will know they are interested in a group.
The more people sending messages to the same channel and the more population and traffic in a zone the faster you should expect people to send messages.
Ever try to talk to someone right next to you in a room full of people doing the same?
Nobody means to talk loudly, but their voices, all relatively similar soundwaves, amplify or cancel each other out such that everyone ends up needing to increase their volume just to be heard at close range.
In the case of the game, a chat channel gets spammed by so many people, or people go in and out of range so quickly(zoning and logging), that the "volume" and speed of chat messages needs to increase to catch the attention of the intended target.
This is especially true if you can't send private messages.(This is why I would think it better to allow F2P private message access first. They can't spam multiple people this way and get annoyed in a global channel such as Help when people ignore their only method of communicating easily. Communication is a necessity, not a privilege.)
So, I don't see any problem with somebody even spamming so long as they have about 30 seconds or more between messages, in the same chat channel.
I have a problem with people who judge people way too early and harshly when they are also likely guilty of similar/same at other times.
If everyone were to spam every 2 minutes that too would also clog up a channel and no one would see who is LFT. Patience goes a long way...as does the balls to lead. Instead of standing around spamming LFT and then whining "no one teams" take a proactive role and lead a team/league...it really won't hurt you. People's aversion to the star amazes me...it is just a game.. you are not leading people into a real war where someone might actually die or get physically hurt. I see plenty of people form leagues and state something like "Hey guys I have never led this trial...." and others say it's cool etc... I even see others offer to lead etc... just takes a lil initiative instead of standing around screaming "LF X!"
