We haven't had someone shout for casinos in a really; really long time.
Us either (2-3 years ago maybe, but since then only rarely would someone try to run one... but only in Jeuno). Right now I'm embarrassed every time I see a familiar Seraph name running one in Whitegate, I have maybe only seen that a handful of times before the merge. O|¯|_
I'd say before the merge we only had 1/3 or 1/4 of the total shouts going on right now, depending on whether someone obliviously obnoxious was spamming or not - usually only teleport/retrace, pick-up parties for missions/events/xxNMs, etc., and a fraction of the total LS recruitment shouts there are now.
I'm only aware of a few particular individuals who used to shout (and apparently still do, another member of my linkshell laughed at one who was trying to recruit and was a notoriously bad player on Seraph) for their social linkshell recruitment semi-regularly, it was mostly end-game/other event linkshells as far as I recall. They did have these annoying 3-5 line recruitment shouts, though. =_=;
