... you actually think that will motivate anyone? Materia are given out like candy nowadays. I could get more in twenty minutes from a hunt train alongside more than double the latest tomes (120 to be specific). All without putting in the slightest bit of effort since hunt trains are mindless.

50 tomes and 1/2 grade X materia is nothing. Hell, grade IXs aren't even 4k on the market board. For reference sake on just how easy they are to obtain. I have stacks of 200+ on every single IX and 100+ on the Xs without grinding a single second. That's all from simply doing the occasional around of roulettes. I haven't even done a hunt train since 6.1 dropped. To get people into an EX Trial roulette, you'd need like 300 tomes and 10+ materia. Even that I doubt would motivate many. And like I said, would prompt some to simply queue in as a full pre-made. Nobody will ever queue with DF randoms at the EX level.
