Problem with DF

[MilesSaintboroguh]

They just need to give actual incentives for tanks to use the DF. A bit of gil is not going to entice anyone and that is really only for the high level dungeons.

Add tomestone bonuses for queuing as a tank in DF. ~10 Poetics and ~60 Soldiery for all low level dungeons and a ~5 Poetics and ~30 Soldiery bonus for all dungeons that normally reward those two tomestones. Obviously the bonuses would only be offered while there is a high demand for the job, just as they do currently with the gil bonus

Tanks already get extra gil for being adventurers in need in roulettes and said roulettes give tomestones on top of it. Tanks also get unique mounts for doing expert dungeons 50 times. What else are you going to give tanks without making them be so glamorous that makes other classes not worth playing? Face it, no one is going to play tank and Square can't really force people to play a class they don't want to play as. Tanking isn't simply for everyone.

Lots of people play tank. More than enough for most content. The problem, particularly right now, is that not enough people are playing tank (and healer I'd imagine) in low level DF. They need to increase the rewards for needed classes in those dungeons greatly in order to entice existing players to help out new players leveling/needing help with story missions.

My main is a tank. I won't touch low level dungeons. The rewards suck.

EVERYONE gets extra gil when their role is up for adventurer in need. Tank mounts are for 200 Coil/EX primal runs.

In any case, you're right. No amount of incentive is going to make people play tank if they don't already like it.
