Honestly 95% of the time I have "Tanks" for Adventurers in Need for all of my Roulettes and honestly I'm getting sick of seeing it all the time. I have Healer and DPS classes I like to use for Adventurer in Need to get those extra bonuses.
True it's not required, but it would be optimal to have to allow people to use different classes more often and get rewarded for it and make it easier to level up... especially DPS class.
I like it if the Adventurer in Need randomizes every 2 minutes or something and not ALL of the Roulette have "Adventurer in Need (Tank)" for days on end. Mix it up a bit! It's rare I get a Healer one and very rarer for DPS!
Anyway thinking they need to change up the Adventurer in Need in Roulette to allow players to get bonuses for other classes other than Tanks most of the time? I know they have it as people need that class more as more than 70% people worldwide use DPS class, but still... I like to have Healer and DPS appear more often in the Roulette.

SE doesn't really pick the adventurer in need though... we do! If there were more tanks queueing for roulette more of the time, then it would change to something else. It's only there to try and get those missing roles to be filled in to help decrease our queue times.
If they're going to start changing that to something other than what is actually needed, then they need to rename it as well (like "Bonus Role" or something).
Personally I think they to boost the bonus more although I doubt that'd encourage more people to tank (or just be the missing role, but like you said, it's pretty much always tank).
Edit: People just don't want to do roles they don't want to do, so unless it's a massive bonus they're not going to (and if it was there would be threads complaining about how the tank gets too much of a bonus all the time etc) -

I think what you're looking for is just higher/ better rewards. The adventurer in need bonus is specifically for the class most needed to fill out groups among the players already queued. It's not arbitrarily tank all the time. It stays as tank because there are far fewer people filling that role. It's designed to incentive people to play tanks (or whatever role is in need), though clearly it doesn't actually work well enough to create any sort of balance as it remains tilted toward tanks. Maybe it is having some effect, just not a significant one.

The Rewards could be a little bit better. The systems? Its fine
Now, what's the point in *need more DPS* if there is nobody to tank? Would only make the queues even bigger -

I think you're misunderstanding the point of the "Adventurer in NEED" bonus.

Shockingly, when I queue as anything other than a tank, what we are waiting on is a tank......so, tank is still the adventurer in need.
Square is already trying to offer all kinds of incentives to play tank, but let's be real, tank is high risk as well as high reward. Just last night I got called a "retard tank" for something that was a mechanical issue and had zero to do with my performance. -

I'm not looking for higher or better rewards... I want the other classes, Healers and DPS, to get the Adventurer in Need bonus as Tanks as well seeing as Tanks are almost always that for me nearly 100% of the time. I'm trying to leveling my Healer class as I got my DPS and Tank class to 60 right now (NIN and PLD) and having Tank as Adventurer in Need prevents my Healer reaping some extra bonus reward to level up faster like with Tank when you do the Roulettes.
I was asking if they could change it a bit to allow Healers and DPS to appear more often in the Adventurer in Need for Roulette. Balance it out more.
And like I said, I know why there's Tank for Adventurer in Need, but at least have DPS and Healer appear more often in Frontlines, Guildhest, and Trials more often. I have Tank on ALL of them. -

Nothing
We'd still be waiting for tanks.
Why rely on the AiN extra experience anyway? It's not gonna level you faster it's so small. -

True, but every bit helps and not just EXP but you get extra Gil and Seals (depends on which Roulette as well) if you do the Adventurer in Need bonus.
