Why don't normal Trials drop anything?

[Gemina]

I would love if they added some incentive to run the Normal trials because it would increase the pool of players running those. That would (hopefully) reduce the hour-long wait times for newcomers for the required story trials. They did so for the MHW cross-over trial by including some glamor, housing & music stuff while also seperating of stuff for the Ex trial.

Roulette and MSQ already takes care of this incentive. Loot is how you provide the incentive to run the harder versions of said trial, otherwise why run it all?

If anything, they should be taking anything and everything out of story mode trials and raids for the shear fact that you can get your clear using roulette. Duty roulette has its own rewards already outside of anything additional you get from running the content.

If you want to reduce the wait time for a story mode encounter, then queue as a tank or healer.
