I got Ifrit SM four times in a row one day when I was levelling (& not bothered about the daily bonus) & I loved it. Why? It was because every fight helped at least one new person get through what has become a block in the story due to selfish people dropping when it appears.

To me, one of the best parts of FFXIV is helping & meeting people so being stressed over getting a trial in levelling roulette is just not a thing for me. I remember when I started seeing people charging for raises in the open world & the second I gained the raise ability on ACN I made it my duty to raise anyone I could who needed it & stop those who charged. It's incredibly rare to see anyone asking for gil to raise someone.
