    I have an idea, I am sure that most people will hate it, but why not?

    I have Warrior and Summoner/Scholar to level 50. I would like to get the rest of my jobs to 50, but when I do DFR on Black Mage, Dragoon, Bard, or Monk I am not available to tank and am clogging up the queue with another DD. Why not make it so if you enter DFR on a level 50 job that is in demand (mainly tank but sometimes healer), that the XP that you would have received from kills and bonuses are stored into a pool that will be applied the next time you complete a DFR on a job that is not in demand. (Mainly, any DPS.) So, say I see that tanks are needed for low dungeons, I pop onto my WAR in DFR, run through a complete dungeon to build up the bonus, then change to say Monk, run another complete DFR dungeon, and get the XP and bonuses from both to my Monk at the end.

    And I can hear it already, "but Septimus, people aren't going to learn their jobs if they only play tanks and healers." This is why the XP would go into a pool that you would have to play a DD job to spend, you would still have to play the job through an entire dungeon, (so someone couldn't just waltz in to a final boss to get the bonus) meaning that half of the time people with high-level tanks won't be competition for your DFR. It will help to incentivize people who either like or don't mind tanking (or healing) to use those jobs to help speed up the roulette.

    There would have to be a balance so that you don't get an instant 5 levels if you are on a level 16 job (the total amount in the pool is reduced the lower the job), but this can be fixed. The point is that this will get more tanks into the system, now let's see how this will cause the collapse of Western Civilization...
