    He doesn't mind us conducting trials so close to his bazaar, so long as he's properly compensated... Yes, Portus, we pay him in sorcery-blasted bird flesh. - Cocobygo

    The bonus isn't random. If the system has 50 dps, 30 healers, and 5 tanks in queue, it says "hey, need moar tankz now plz" and sets the bonus to "Tank." It doesn't just randomly cycle between all three types for giggles.

    This system, which has been in use since Burning Crusade for MMOs, I think, has never made any sense. It was silly to put in this game as it's been proven to have no effect, people avoid playing tanks because of the responsibility/leadership role of them, a scant bonus reward has never and will never influence this much.

    Barring mechanical changes, if you want to give that little push to make more tanks, then my advice based on 11 years of MMOs would be:

    - Leveling/New Players: Highlight in-need roles at character create, grant bonus XP for playing them, enforce Guildhests so new ones learn properly.

    - Established players: Reduce cost of tank equipment so it's taken up more as an alt. This game already has a huge problem where it has the WoW cap/lockout system conflicting with FFXIs job swapping, this would at least ease the pain in gearing an alt and encourage more of them to be tanks.

    so when u bring up low lv roulette and see
    Bonus Reward (tank)
    750g/209 seals

    thats the only thing being a tank gets u
    if u were to run as any other class u would miss these rewards but still get the huge 1x chunk of exp at the end
