Saver fare pretty much speaks for itself cause saver fare includes N/X/L/S, which means no seat selection. You need to double check the fare you buy as it only starts from the lowest fare in each category (meaning people will be buying these cheap fares till they reach one that allows seat selection.

The system sucks, so if you want to buy a higher fare for seat selection, you need to go through TA.
