    Even tho there are still a lot of people out there who do thank goodness.

    The OP is just saying people who wish to help should get bonus as a reward to help them through contents that many players don't need or do so it grabs more attention and reasons for others to help.
    Basicly OP wants this not only for himself but for everyone else so it encourages more "Team work" and more people to help each other out in general as a community.

    The OP is not thinking selfish, even tho it may appear that way in a sense, the OP is just saying people like you deserve a more appropriate Boost of rewards for helping others based on the content. This is to encourage more players to help each other out in a sense of "Your scratching my back and I'm scratching yours".

    He is more speaking of contents like missions and quests where you enter a BCNM fight or something and the players who already done them and are just helping out, get exclusive rewards that are more appropriate based on today's ffxi.
    This may be true but it also takes away the friendliness element of the game in a way. People in it for the reward will be more concerned about "I want to get this done ASAP for my reward" rather than actually having fun doing it. (OP may not be thinking selfish, but this WILL attract a lot of selfish people).

    Oh wait, lol.

    Call me selfish, but I dont really like helping people out, unless I get something from it
    That doesn't sound selfish at all! XP

    You might be getting people telling the person in need of help "Skip the cutscene", sighing as the person gets lost on the way to the BC, yelling when a mistake is made, among other things. Seeing a new player progress through the story and taking part in the progression is rewarding in itself (imo), making them rush through it so you can collect your reward isn't.

    Bottom line, though this may help encourage people to help out, it may also ruin the experience of those getting help. The nicer players assisting those in need will always be more effective than those attracted by the rewards system.

    Just my opinion, worth a little more than dirt.
