No.

The adventurer in need bonus is, and always has been, gil and seals.

Edit: Well I'd be! I made a new character and saw that there actually is EXP bonuses for adventurers in need, but for some reason it will not show up if you're level 50 (though EXP bonuses always show up for other stuff even if you're already 50), so I had never seen the EXP bonus. I stand corrected!

i'm on a Legacy server, we still have lots of Large plots that are not sold. so the amount of people with 30M+ is very small even on Legacy servers. you're not even the 1%, you're the 1% of the 1%.

There are plenty of good tanks available now. Just no reason for them to go tank.

im sure its already been mentioned, but the bonus tanks receive in the duty roulette is only gil, everyone gets the bonus myth/philos and xp whether you are an "in need" class or not

Dude, gotta sig this. Best response ever.

7 fold would equate to around 5000 Gil and 1000 grand company seals. The GG seals may be the best part of this, depending what will be sold by vendor.

Only thing that will make me play WAR or PLD are those mounts....Depending on how to get them. If they are just random prizes for playing Tank, and not forcing me to do a duty with the role I will level up to 50 for that reason only. I don't plan on getting past 15 on either just for the possible need for their class to be 15 for future jobs. If the way to get the mounts is a bit outrageous, I'll just leave my tank classes at 15 and never touch them again.

I'm not *that* terrible a tank, and I'll do it for 5k gil. Heck, I tank low-level roulette on my 50 PLD/WAR right now for the 5k gil. >_> The boost to seals would only sweeten the deal, if we'll need them to buy venture tokens.

The adventurer in need bonus varies depending on which roulette you choose. Low level has seals, same with guildhests.

We were discussing high level roulette, as per the OP asking if the myth was increased by 7 times.

Edit: Just double checked in game, bonus for high level roulette is just gil. Of course the high level roulette wouldn't have bonus exp, its for max level. Gods what was I thinking. Still, only low level and hests have seals for AiN.

Puppies: poop everywhere cause their untrained(just like all those bad tanks)
Kittens: Secretly plotting your death(unlike bad tanks who openly plot their own death)
Curing Cancer: According to movies, future zombie apocalypse(bad tanks are a cancer and quit at an early level, a cancer we shouldn't cure cause it leads to a worse situation)
Ending world hunger: Just leads to more overpopulation and just makes the situation worse. A good idea in theory but disastrous in action. (Just like extra xp for bad tanks)

Did I win?

@Alwryn

puppies: the stage a dog is in for a year where it does little more than eat your shoes and poop on your floor.
kittens: they want to kill you, don't be fooled: there is an evil mind behind that adorable face.
curing cancer: could potentially lead to other problems, like a helvetica scenario.
ending world hunger: Marxism fails, but then we have to deal with the overpopulation problem.

maybe we can send undesireables to pluto?

bribing never works.
only thing that possibly could, is complete revamp of party setup for 8 and 24 man content.
design all future content for 1 tank, 2 healers an 5 dps.

wow tried bribing players as well and it never improved queue times for dd or healers...ever.

---

There are players who runs duty roulette as a source of income and these players would be inclined to run them as a tank for the increased gil rewards, hence more tanks in DF, shortening the queue time

puppies: While they may be unruly and undisciplined, They grow up to be excellent guard dogs, like tanks will after several runs.
kittens: The average DD'er who finds distractions to occupy their time, you really gotta watch them or they will run off and get themselves killed.
curing cancer: If cancer is lack of skill, than only experience can cure it.
ending world hunger: World hunger for tanks, will never end. There will only be a certain number of people who want to play tanks. Rewards or not.

Puppies are cute they don't say puppies. They grow into hair shedding, turd dropping, barking fools. Plus I'm allergic to them. No real man would be caught dead with cats. Plus they don't come to you when you call. Why cure cancer when you can slowly treat it and make money off the patients? No wants to end world hunger. Too many people on this planet anyway. Plus how am I suppose to feel good about myself when I send in 50 cents a month to help the starving children, especially after I just bought a PS4 and XBOne???

People only say it because currently Tanks are always the role in need in the DR.
To be safe to have the correct role ready for the increased gil bonus I recommend to learn each 3 roles.
