    So...some quick math on the minion suggestion:

    Reaching rank 50 in one grand company takes around 377 frontline "wins" (Not counting Roulette or challenge log boni)
    So let's generously say 350 "games" per GC.
    Times three means 1050 games. That's only rank 50 and only frontline. A rank 60 would likely double that number.

    I know by now you guys are a little disconnected from reality, but do you honestly think putting a carrot behind a mountain in the neighboring country is going to make the mule you're sitting on go anywhere...? Do you really, truly think this would have any noteworthy impact on frontline queues?

    Before you suggest incentives and rewards, please educate yourself on google scholar how these things work. Because they do not work the way you think they work.
    Then you might also realize why the additional 10 ranks would be no meaningful incentive either.

    The reality is you don't know what is FFXIV PvP grind, and my proposition fits right in. There is an ADS mount, for example, which requires 200 Frontline wins for one GC. As you don't win every game, you'll need 600-700 matches for that mount, and you can get get a pony and white ADS in progress. But for remaining GC-exclusive mounts you need to switch GC and repeat. There's a mount for 200 The Feast wins as well. There are 5 titles for every role for 1000 wins on each (healer, tank, ranged, mage, melee), but let's not go to extremes. Just grinding frontline mounts will already give you very high PvP rank. But when you reach rank 50, all your XP will go to waste. What I suggest is for pvp character progression to continue after 50, wether you need it or not is up to you. I know pvpers will get it just by playing naturally, there's nothing disconnected from reality, just like my three rank 50s for all three GCs.
