    The low level roulette should at least give 75 Poetics as the adventurer-in-need bonus, otherwise people who can run EX-Roulette (which is the vast majority of the level 50 population) wouldn't even consider it; the high level roulette would also need a comparable treatment. The current Poetic bonus is a complete joke. I haven't unlocked the high level and the expert roulette yet and I just spam AK(HM) to cap my Poetics. It's usually faster than the average low level roulette yet rewards 40 Poetics. Add WoD and helping out FC mates to the fray, and there's absolutely no reason to do the low level roulette on a Lv50 job.

    The point is not in attracting more people to do the roulette; the point should be attracting the needed roles to do the roulette. A brain surgeon isn't gonna help any when you need fire-fighters. It would make the experience worse to attract literally every single level 50 player back to the low level roulette.

    This would mean that tanks (let's not kid ourselves here, tanks get the adventurer in need bonus the most) would need to run half as many EX roulettes as non-tanks, which would dilute the pool of tanks and make the wait times on the weekend even worse.
    Let's say you have a tank, healer, and DPS who want to cap poetics. The roulette itself gives 45(?) and the dungeon gives 40.
    With your system, if everyone runs once a day every day until they cap, with EX roulette being the only thing they actually do for poe, a tank would only need to run 3-4 days whereas a DPS would need to run each and every day of the week, with healers possibly capping out on the fifth or sixth day if they get lucky.
    So no, adding more poetics to the adventurer in need bonus wouldn't help anything. There's a REASON it's gil and/or GC seals.
