I will que as many times as it takes to get me to 70 for all my healers. It is not my job to drag people through dungeons I get 0 from.

That said, I am always willing to drag leafs through leveling style dungeons, but full blooded long term players? No, you knew what you were getting into.

Why not both? Can always use someone who is easy on the wallet to get their dungeons done AND provide a first time bonus. The best type of costumers, might even explain the bosses for them~

I'll do my part by farming roulette for gil.

I'm not judging or telling you to do anything different, you do you, however, the idea that helping others out with content is bad is a weird one to me, and the general attitude towards helping others in this thread has not been good, I'm extremely disappointed by it if I'm honest.

After all, money can be used to buy goods and services.

Partially incorrect. Tanks only lose that bonus if it's a full premade. If you take along one or 2 DPS and zero healers for example, you're still pulling someone from the DF pool and therefore you still get your bonus.

i can explain why this is.
so,i am a tank.
tanking is hardest job of all in all game and in DF,i meet a lot of rude and nasty people there who like to tell me how to play how i am bad how they are so good yet they don't want to play tank
so now we got this expansion and i didn't like any of the new classes much so i am war,you want me to go and get these people insta queus for nothing,while i get nothing out of it
still,i want to level red mage too.who is going to tank for me?i queue and wait 40 min just like everyone else
noone does anything for me ,why should i be a slave so people enjoy the game more?what about my enjoyment?
what makes you think you deserve a slave labourer who is there to make your gaming experience more fun and smooth while getting nothing in return?
i want to level dps classes ,too
i waited 40 min on my 31 ninja yesterday
i don't get free tanks
what makes those people think they are entitled to one?

I am more than happy to help people I am friends with for free, but if someone is offering to pay me, I'm not going to say no. Payment can come in many forms. I'll happily take new minions, housing stuff, or glamour gear. There is nothing wrong with either method. I personally won't be in PF trying to sell my services, though.

I will always prioritize my friends, FC, and Linkshell mates. I reserve my queues for them and them alone. If there just happens to be a spare spot and a random DPS gets it, then good for them. However, I am not going to go out of my way to queue for something that I don't need to do at the moment. I will do my daily roulettes and there may or may not be spots available for randoms to join in, but I won't do any past that unless requested by friends, my FC, or Linkshell mates.

Right now, the problem is that a number of tank changes has made tank players quit their former tanking jobs for DPS classes. It's up to SE to bring those players back.

I usually go with a friend of mine, which is a healer - We split the cash and go on our ways. Enough DPS around that they'll consider our offers.

There is nothing disgraceful about it. If a tank/healer can make extra gil from their job then why not? Hand/Land classes can make gil off players for doing their job so why not War/Magic classes? Just because it's not the norm doesn't make it disgraceful.
