Adventurer in Need in Roulette, do you think it needs to change up a bit?

[Khalithar]

That is too overpowered.
You know that the AiN bonus is not daily capped like the normal roulette bonus?
Your reward would produce billionaires within 1-2 days

You say that like it's a bad thing. If they massively increased the reward (which they should) and since the AiN bonus is always there, you'd suddenly have a lot more people wanting to queue up as that role. But then what happens? Tons of people queue for that role for the nice bonus and as a result the AiN changes from Tank to something else, which means it changes to healer in need or even DPS in need after that. But here's another thing, you get the AiN bonus based on what you queued as when that bonus was up.

So if you queue as tank when tank is in need but the bonus changes to "healer in need" in that time, you still get the bonus regardless. A massive AiN bonus increase would help everyone across the board as it has a good chance at causing many of the In need role to queue and thus forcing the bonus to change, yet at the same time those people that queued when they were in need, still get their bonus. Win/win

Been playing for more than three months and saw AiN healer a couple of weeks for the first time. I was pleasantly surprised because I thought it was a tank by default lol.
The thing is people don\\'t like to be yelled at. My wife plays a tank and she loves tanking and has been tanking in wow for years. She also plays PLD here but every time she goes to the dungeon she\\'s afraid to get yelled at. She still does it because it\\'s rewarding to be a leader afterall honestly running with her as a healer I sometimes want to make some poisonous comments myself when she derps for a moment and misses mechanic, not to mention people who are outright mad because she doesn\\'t like to speedrun dungeons, tanking ninjas, pulling summoners and all that sort of people whom as a tank you are supposed to protect. So yeah there are lots of things that stop people from lining up as tanks to the df.

My solution would be adding more interesting things to the Grand company shop, because right now there is nothing really interesting you can buy. I mean one derpy looking minion for 30k seals is not serious, really...
Also how do you edit posts on mobile? It's not very intuitive...

Just tossed some numbers around, point was it needs to be something like that becuase amount of gil you get atm doesnt even cover daily teleports unless you spam it non-stop. Burning a 100k+ in a day is pretty common when market playing so to me atleast that doesnt sound too OP even if you can spam it. Also if players start to swim in GC seals it also means cheaper coke, peacock, animal fat etc.. due market flooding and i would like that as airships eats those mats like a candy.

until a reward that high causes market inflation negating any value a higher reward would of had. not to mention RMT having a semi-legitimate source of gil

Inflation and introducing tons of gil immediately into the economy is bad thing.

Inflation is a valid point, to counter that they could up the repair and teleport costs and generally add more gil sinks. Dunno if they can ever make that bonus as an real incentive that doesnt cause butthurt inside community.

In regards to the OP...

Honestly 95% of the time I have "Tanks" for Adventurers in Need for all of my Roulettes and honestly I'm getting sick of seeing it all the time.

Adventurer in need bonus is meant to give a bonus to the job that is currently needed to fill parties for that particular DR. That is literally what "adventurer in need" means. It isn't rocket surgery. If they change it to DPS and everyone chooses DPS then there will be a 2 hour queue to get in and it defeats the purpose of both what it is called and why it was added in the first place.

[giantslayer]

Hey, I've got a great idea! What if instead of giving more bonuses randomly to everyone for roulette, SE gave tanks (or whichever class there is not enough of in queue) a special incentive to queue, which will result in DPS spending less time in queue and more time in dungeons getting exp?

....Oh, wait... That's what our current Adventurer In Need system does, except it doesn't do it very well because the rewards are so small.
