Bonus reward for tanking

[Ehayte]

Ok, let me see if I get this right, you think you deserve 50kx4 times per day? You think you deserve 200k gil per day just because you are a tank? You think you deserve 1.4kk per week just for playing through faceroll content with "lesser classes".

Not sure if this was directly at me or not but....

No, I don't think I deserve any of that, personally. But I also have a separate char that is a BLM, and I would pay someone else to play tank for me at times. And the numbers I used previously were just random values for the sake of example, the real number would be whatever people are willing to pay.

Its not about deserve or not deserve, its about supply and demand and incentivization (not a word, lol). If the gil rewards start out magnanimous, more people will flock to tanking, as the supply of tanks increases, the price needed to pay to support the demand for tanks will decrease. This would balance out the problem, those willing to tank the dungeons when the price is 0, will do it - but its proven right now that that is not very many. Those willing to run on their tank when the reward for tanking (amount of gil) exceeds the reward for playing a different toon (fun, tomes, progression) will increase as the price goes up, when we reach equilibrium, the price for tank over the long run will be set.

Economics 101, and its also how (most of) the American economy works.

And you people who don't have a tank need to stop projecting a "tank snob" attitude on us. I would actually agree that there are tanks who take this attitude further than is needed, but if by "lessor class" you mean "less valuable due to an abundance of supply for DF missions" then, yes, more in demand goods (tanks) should be rewarded more than less in demand goods (dps). Unless you're a COMMIEE!!!! GET'EM!
