Can we get incentives to be good people? I see this turning into FFXI

FFXIV already has some annoying blocks in place which make it hard to get enough people to help you. For example the mog fight if people are shouting for it they want you to of beat the NMs required to do the fight. If you send the people shouting a tell they won't take you because they already done them. If you miss the boat on getting clearance for something makes it pretty hard to get a group together.

This is a great case-in-point, and something that's current and fresh to talk about.

It may seem like people are being unkind by not offering to help people clear the NMs in A Feast Of Fools, but surprisingly enough I've heard people on the other side of that situation make comments that show me they would think it's unkind for people to want to join a group that's forming to kill the Moogle. Weird, huh? But it's just how the game is designed.

Because the quest takes so much time, groups expect players to do what they can to minimize the amount of time required of the other players in the group, because there's no reward for that time. People are pretty smart. They don't need a thread on the forum to explain what is a waste of their time and what isn't. The only part of the quest that offers a reward is the actual fight, not the NMs leading to it.

Now imagine if there was some incentive for experienced players to help newer players progress through the quest.. you'd see shouts actually offering help to other players to kill the 5 NMs.
