People who bot/exploit/etc. will do it regardless.

To the OP, I agree but for different reasons. There will always be players that gravitate towards the path of least resistance (currently 3-man groups in solo que), and increasing the rewards for losing teams won't change that. However, I think an increase is necessary to reduce the barrier to entry for new players. The gear/skill advantage for experienced players is massive in FFXIV, and most new players will lose almost every game. Players that are ahead of the curve win more and pull further ahead, while players who are behind lose more and fall even further behind. It snowballs both ways, and the problem will get worse over time.
