LFG is super buggy and frustrating
The other day I was going to advertise in LFG for a dungeon but changed my mind. What happened was when I clicked the advertise button, the advertise message box was already filled in with the same message as someone else who was advertising for that dungeon. The message box should be blank when you go to advertise in LFG. That’s why I decided against it. I was afraid that if I cleared the message and put my own in it would end up advertising me as something other than what I wanted.
At this time I never actually advertised myself in LFG to find a group for anything, so there was no reason why it should already have a message in the box.
Edit: It doesn’t seem to be doing it now. The ‘Advertise your group’ window has no message automatically added.
Ahh…..it might have done that before because I had joined a group advertising in LFG. Afterwards I was going to advertise myself. It might have put in the message that my previous group leader had advertised at.

It does seem funky. I checked Ascolonian Catacombs for dungeons just now. Saw an advertisement for ‘Story all welcome’ but it didn’t show any players in the party. I clicked the join button and nothing happened. I clicked the refresh button and the advertisement was still there. I closed the LFG window and opened it again and the advertisement was gone. It seems the LFG tool isn’t properly updating or something.
Edit: Hmm…..I saw another party advertise. After the group was full the message was still there showing no players in the party. Again, clicking the refresh button didn’t remove the message. I clicked on another dungeon in LFG then clicked back and the message was gone. I got a screenshot of this one. So yeah. It’s not removing party messages from LFG while you have the window open to that specific thing. Closing the window or clicking on another thing seems to clear it.
