Hmm. Maybe there's a balance where they could boost the incentives enough to encourage those who already like playing those roles to hit the roulettes up more, thus enriching more people's time in the game, but not so much it's attracting people who don't want to do the job to begin with. As I said, I enjoy doing them, because getting plopped into a random dungeon with people that, at least for me, more often than not is a generally entertaining experience. Not the most CHALLENGING, but it helps people out, and I enjoy helping people new to content have a better experience. But even I have my limits, and I hit them pretty quick. I DON'T like crafting or gathering. I don't in any game. I'm not asking to be made a mad gillionaire overnight with roulettes but, why not give people who already want to tank/heal some rewards for being willing to help pop in and get groups moving?

Maybe SE has already looked at this. Maybe it will attract too many bots. Maybe their data shows it risks braking the economy. Maybe their data shows higher rewards start attracting the wrong people. I don't know. But I certainly would do them more if the rewards were better. Like for leveling I can get about 11k gil for the in need bonus. But raids, trials? 1300. 5/6/7 isn't much better.
I enjoy healing, I dont do the roulettes to get the rewards aside from the tomestones. Increasing rewards will 100% make things worse. they already have an issue with "enticing" people to be mentors with a reward and that hasnt turned out well for the mentorship system. increasing the rewards wont encourage people to play a tank or healer because I would say a majority of the time, people play what they are comfortable playing, and in my experience, most people are comfortable playing dps classes. This is not some new movement in mmo's, it has been this way for as long as I can remember in pretty much all mmo's I know of.

people already complain about the skill levels in roulettes, you want to make it worse? increase the rewards to that people that either dislike the job or are unskilled at them decide they will do it for the rewards instead of because they want to.
