DF Roulette and Bonus Reward

[XNihili]

I like paladin, I like bard, I like black mage; I also like pizza, and hot wings, and cold beer... I certainly do not want this combination every time I go out to eat though, there's nothing wrong with me not wanting the same thing every time I run an in-game instance.

Well if you like to play Paladin, you don't need the bonus reward and you said 750 gils are not much.
Give them to me then every time you log as a Tank in DR

started leveling my bard last week, average wait in DF / DFR are 30+ mins everyday.......

What they shoud is reward tanks and healers even more. Right now is not enought.

Forget about 750 gils, give 10,000 and people will play tanks and healers roulettes to get money, and no one will have to wait more than 10 min to go in.

The thing is, that 750 gils for have to deal with a low level dungeon were very often we find players that refuse to talk at all and will just do everything quite bad (Not always, of course, but the danger is there) is not enough. Takes time (30-90 min) and your only reward once you are lvl 50 is... Those gils and 10 mithos the first time. Not enought. You are better doing any high level dungeon without roulette with party finder. Just find other 3 guys to do it and you'll finish it before, probably get more money (from mobs), same repair cost, and more mithos and philos (Wich can be used to earn gils too)

The problems is that the roulette bonus right now is useless for being too low that no lvl 50 will do the dungeon for it. Of course, some people will do it because they like it or they want to help, but not for the bonus.... So, bonus is not enought.

It's really not, I don't bother with the roulette at all honestly and I play tank and healer. I spam CT for my weekly loot and by time my piece drops (because all the drops is mnk,bard, and blm gear /wrist)I'm at myth cap. Too many ways to get philos so why bother doing some boring low level dungeon where I can't use any of my skills. ._.

In my opinion the rewards are made for fomenting the tanking and healing... And it works. It is my case that everyday I do the roulette I join with my marauder or gladiator, until the point my marauder became my main class and eventually I even enjoy it...

But I guess it depends of opinions and tastes, for example when the reward is for a healer in guildhests, I may take healer because is short thing. But a low level roulette... No, I can't imagine myself using healer more than ten minutes.

About the 30 minutes or more when being a DPS... Well. I hunt FATES or craft when waiting. Also you can do with a friend or FC member the smame this noob does... One dungeon your friend uses tank or healer and you DPS, the other dungeon vice versa. That way in party the duty comes fast for a DPS.

The current rewards offered to tanks and healers to help do roulettes, is just way too low, if you look at it from a risk vs reward perspective. 750gil doesn't cover the cost in repairs, so you are losing money if it's a wipe-fest of a group. You aren't promised player commendations because even if you made the group happen by playing a much needed role, the majority of the time it goes to other roles. You also have to deal with epeen players that tell you how to do your job, in which upon inspection they don't even have a 50 tank/healer. The cons vastly outweigh the pro's for the current roulette setup.

The only roulette that is worth it is guildhest. They are fast, easy gil, not a high repair cost. The player commendation issue still happens but at least you don't have to spend 30min to an hour not getting a player commendation for your efforts.

If it were bonus enough to be insta-queued we'd be flooded with tanks and healers, not DPS.

[Casper]

Just give a bonus reward proportionnal to the lack there is. Here, problem solved.

If there is such a throttle in tanks that dps and healer need to wait 30 min to get a queue, give 10k bonus to tanks. Tanks get in, queue get reduced to 5 min for healer/dps ? 500 gils bonus to tanks. So many tanks got in that now healer is the throttle and tank have to wait 10 min ? Give 2k to healers. So many tanks and healers than now dps have an instant queue ? Not going to happen no matter what.

i try to do the guildhest roulette every day just because it's so fast to get done, although it is annoying how you get the same ones all the time. idk if people actually enjoy the same crap over and over or are just too lazy to take the time to unlock the higher level hests. but i digress.

i do feel like the bonus gil reward for the dungeon roulettes are too low considering the time it takes to do them. i would say at least 2-2.5k would be more incentive.

I think the bonus reward class should just change everyday .. its always tank when I log in . lets just randomize it or something its not making more tanks Que up anyways..
