Bonus reward for tanking

Tanking is so boring :(

Those are Philo tomes. You can tell by the image. Tomes of Philo have 1 blue glowing stripe. Mytho have 2 glowing stripes.

Think of Tomes as Allagan USB drives. And the more important ones light up in gradually more lines up to 4. (They practically are external HDD or USB drives if you pay attention to the lore...)

I think it's funny that people felt the need to talk about how unimportant, boring and easy tanking is inside a thread about bonus rewards for in demand classes...specifically tanks. Hate much?

I think tanks have higher repair costs,
Tanks are also in demmand.

The reward is displayed before queueing up, and roulette doesn't let you choose your dungeon. Brayflox and SV are both in the same roulette group, Low Level. It might work the way you're saying on a per-group basis (e.g., Low Level needs tanks more than High Level, so Low Level gets a better reward for tanks), but I haven't seen anything going into those details. Have you got a source for this?

750 Gil generated out of nowhere. your 30k is money that already exists and justs changes the owner. And you actually take at least 1500 Gil out of economy by selling it through the market boards.

Hey guys! If you aren't tired of tanks continually withdrawing from duty till they get an in progress run for tomes, just wait till they're doing it for tomes and 50k gil!

Tanks get instant invites. This is their reward for playing a tank (and rightly so, it's more stressful than DD). I know whenever I need tomes I can switch to WAR and get insta-party and get my tomes twice as fast as I could on DD.

Tanks already get an instant queue while the rest of us wait 45+ minutes, this is borderline insulting.

What happens to the Duty Roulette from level 16 to 50. It don't seem there is anything for those.

The reward is not tank specific. It is for any in demand role.

If, however, you are referring to the laughable 50k that the OP wants just for being a tank, then I am with you all the way.
