Charging for runs.

[FayeEsquire]

I could be wrong but I thought there was something in the terms & conditions about it being against policy to "sell" runs. However, I think "hiring" someone is ok just like how I've heard you can't advertise that you're selling a housing plot but you can advertise wanting to buy one.

As long as OP does not RMT and just charges Gil, that's nothing wrong. If someone willing to give Gil for hiring a Tank, better for the tank.

We can disagree but it is their own business and no rules broken.

So with samurai and red mage coming how reasonable would charging gil to level those dps through content as a tank be? Is there any rules against that specifically is what I'm asking because if not I dusting off my heavy armor for stormblood.

I find it perfectly reasonable to do this.

especially if you RP as a mercenary anyway

Don't even need to RP as a mercenary, that's literally the definition of an adventurer, that's why they also call us "sellswords", people hire adventurers to do tasks or kill mobs, so I hope people here aren't implying the whole game lore is immoral.

Meh - I'm admittedly a bad tank but even I can tank a MSQ dungeon just fine - It's not rocket science.
If queues are bad I'll just go in as WAR (they will have to put up with me occasionally running the wrong way).
For end game stuff the ratio should be easier to deal as it will either be with a static for raids and if ex primals continue like Zurvan where one tank is the preferred meta that should be no problem either.

Most dps I know with multiple 60s will do the same.

I am a career tank. I'll be taking the first week of Stormblood off work. I already have a premade light party to run all my content from 60-70. After I'm done with the runs I need for my own purposes, my healer and I are going to team up to offer a package deal for instant queues. Asking for reasonable compensation for something I otherwise wouldn't have queued for because I don't need to isn't unfair at all.

SE has already stated their position on selling content, such as clears for extremes. It's not against TOS at all. And it's not like you have to buy what someone is selling. You can wait in the 30 min queue with everyone else.

I highly doubt SE is going to increase the adventurer in need bonus to help. Which is primarily why people will be charging for runs. The extra XP for the roulette wont really help as when people first go through, the first job to lvl 70 will be the easiest due to all the exploration, MSQ, sidequests, curiosity fates, and dungeons.

While the queue direly needs a role (more than a normal queue time) an adventurer in need will be rewarded 1 + dungeon length modifier to their weekly maximum tomestone(s) capacity for the next tome cycle. And change the system so if it needs multiple roles, like healer & tank, then both are in need at the same time. So for long dungeons perhaps its like +3-5, and for the super fast trial stuff its like +0-1. To even encourage the casual players, let them choose to change an amount of that capacity into a tomestone multiplier (15-25% more tomestones next tome cycle, costs 50 maximum capacity can't be used to drop below the minimum tomestone amount).


Maybe some wont care but seeing how the top tier tomestone is the lifeblood of upgrading for many people (whether it be relics, gearing alts, crafting materials, or a casual person's "end game" gear) - fairly certain a large group would become dedicated to maxing out all possible tome rewards and even switch out of DD to get the in need bonus. Of course roulette / non party reward only, so people can't farm it in a premade.
