Duty Finder waiting-time xp boost idea

[Lilysparkle]

I'll try not to take ages explaining, but basically I wondered about an idea that gave you an xp boost in the dungeon you're queuing for that is somehow proportional or correlates to how long you did wait for.

Let's say you queued for 30 mins:

Idea 1) When you enter you get a boost of +30% xp (for the 30 mins queued) that could maybe wear off after a threshold is met (like a rested xp bonus)

Idea 2) When you enter you get a smaller, flat/static boost that persists for the entire duration of the run which would maybe kick in after having queued for at least 10+ mins or so


Or maybe some mix or variation of both of those ideas. Idea 1 might mean a looot of xp, so maybe it's unrealistic. Anyway, as healers and tanks (especially) get groups way more quickly than damage roles, this might help even up the gap a bit in terms of time/xp ratio that two ppl would be putting into a queue.

Just to be absolutely clear - this would apply to anyone, not just DPS classes. As a tank you might still queue for 20 mins on a very quiet day at a very unusual time in terms of server's prime-time.

I realise at lvl 50 xp becomes a non-issue, so I hadn't really thought about that side of it. Maybe it isn't even really an issue at 50. Or if it is, maybe a little % increase in tomestones received - but I think this is crossing the line of what is probably fair. So perhaps the idea should just be for the purposes of xp and leveling.

Any thoughts or more ideas are welcome. Sorry if it's already been suggested before!

No.. just no
You can do ANYTHING in the game while qued up. You can even craft..

Decreased queue waiting is one of the factor that might convince some people to play tanks and healers. No need to take that away. I am fine with waiting, meanwhile gathering and slowly progressing crafters.

You can do ANYTHING in the game while qued up.

Apart from:
Level your chocobo
Form a temp party with friends (FATEs, etc)
Enter an instance you need to complete a 5 min story quest
Invite a tank/healer friend to your group to fill up that last slot the DF has had open for 10+ minutes
etc, etc.

I find it pretty restrictive if you want to do anything more than crafting or a bit of pottering around :/

Do this and no one queues up as healer or a tank anymore.

Nopenopenope, leveling is as easy as it is at the moment, no need for additional exp boosts. If you want an exp boost while waiting on DF, hang around near a crystal or something.
