Before the quest was a milestone, as well as progression and story, now it will be just another quest which most people ignore, unless they can come up with a really good incentive.

gil worthless
gear is basically gil
exp would be good, if its a large amount, but by the time people realize they have the quest available, they will most likely have passed that level.

In our ul dah centric world, how many archers would visit gridania if the quest was unecessary, how many new lancers would even have heard of the wood wailers?
It's their own fault. I hang out in Grid all the time and am planning on leveling all the Grid classes as I go.

Gear could be class-specific and very good. It could also be abilities that can't be unlocked by just leveling up. Once again, it can be anything.
